STAHLS’ has introduced its Patch Guidance Tool, an online resource designed to help apparel decorators identify the most suitable custom patch and emblem options for their artwork before placing an order.
The tool allows users to upload their designs and receive compatibility guidance across 18 patch types, helping them determine which options are ready to order, which may require adjustments and which are incompatible with the submitted artwork.
By identifying potential design issues earlier in the ordering process, the tool aims to reduce artwork-review delays and streamline the selection of ready-to-apply patches and emblems.
Artwork Compatibility Checks Across 18 Patch Types
The Patch Guidance Tool evaluates uploaded artwork to help decorators understand which patch and emblem products are suitable for their designs.
Rather than selecting a patch type and waiting for an artwork review, users can check compatibility upfront and make more informed decisions before submitting an order.
According to STAHLS’, the tool checks 18 patch types in seconds and can eliminate the need for artist review on most patch orders.
Designs that require adjustments can be identified earlier, allowing decorators to explore alternative patch options or modify artwork before proceeding.
Streamlining Patch and Emblem Production
For apparel decorators, selecting the appropriate patch type is an important part of the customization process. Artwork characteristics can affect whether a design is suitable for a particular decoration method, potentially leading to revisions or production delays.
STAHLS’ developed the Patch Guidance Tool to simplify this process by providing compatibility information before an order is submitted.
The tool is intended to help shops reduce back-and-forth artwork reviews, avoid incompatible product selections and move eligible orders toward production more efficiently.
Decorators can access the STAHLS’ Patch Guidance Tool online to upload artwork and explore compatible patch and emblem options.
