Embroidered Patch Sourcing Program for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers: Home Curtains
Embroidered Patch Programme for Craft and Hobby Wholesalers: Home Curtains
This programme covers the full path from a embroidered patch requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for craft and hobby wholesalers. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 15 mm Width, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around home curtains, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in embroidered patch sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
What the programme covers
- Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
- Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
- Sampling, testing and approval against AATCC Test Methods
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- Recycled PET — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- ABS Resin — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- POM Plastic — selected for colour depth and finish stability
- Cotton — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
Can you handle our own artwork or tooling?
Yes. Artwork files or existing tooling can be used; we confirm tolerances in writing before the first production run.
Can you match a physical sample?
Yes. Send the reference and we reverse engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk commitment.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 500 per style per colour. Mixed colourways can be combined on the same spec if the base material is identical.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
