Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does a shaped merrow border follow a shield silhouette?
A: A standard merrow border is applied as a straight-edge rectangle around a label. For shield crest patches, the merrow border is programmed to follow the contour of the shield shape — the overlock machine traces the angled sides, pointed base, and curved top of the shield outline, applying the looped thread edge along the exact silhouette. This shaped merrow border defines the crest outline visually and prevents fraying along the shaped edge. The result is a patch that reads as a shield rather than a rectangle with a shield printed on it.

Q: Can you reproduce a soaring eagle emblem with fine feather detail?
A: Yes. Eagle emblems with spread wings, detailed feather structure, and talons are among the most common heraldic elements in school crests. In damask weave, the high thread density allows fine feather lines, wing tip detail, and body shading to be reproduced with thread-level accuracy. Provide your eagle artwork as a vectorized AI, EPS, PDF, CDR, or SVG file. Our design team will prepare a thread-mapped digital proof showing the eagle detail before production begins.

Q: What heraldic elements can be reproduced on a woven shield patch?
A: Damask weave can reproduce the full range of heraldic charges used in school crests: eagles, lions, griffins, and other animals; shields with quartered or divided fields; chevrons, bends, and other ordinaries; motto banners with text; laurel wreaths, stars, and floral elements; and metallic gold (or) and silver (argent) accents using metallic thread. Complex multi-element crests with all of these features can be reproduced in a single woven patch.

Q: What is the difference between a heater shield shape and other shield shapes?
A: A heater shield (also called a classic or traditional shield) has a flat or slightly curved top, straight or slightly angled sides, and a pointed base — the most common shape for school and institutional crests in the British heraldic tradition. A French shield has a notch cut into the top right corner (originally for a lance rest). A lozenge is a diamond shape. An oval or circular shape is also common for school badges. Any of these shapes can be produced with a shaped merrow border that follows the exact silhouette.

Q: Can I order the same crest in different sizes for different applications?
A: Yes. The same crest design can be produced in multiple sizes — for example, a larger size for blazer breast pocket, a medium size for sports kit, and a smaller size for bags or hats. Each size is treated as a separate style with its own MOQ of 100 pieces. Multiple sizes can be ordered together in a single shipment.

Q: What certifications do you hold?
A: We hold OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ISO 9001, and SGS reports, confirming eco-friendly, skin-safe materials and consistent quality management across all production runs.

Q: What file formats do you accept for school crest artwork?
A: CDR, EPS, PDF, AI, and SVG are preferred (vector formats). We also accept PSD, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF, and PNG. Vector formats ensure the most accurate thread color mapping and shaped merrow border path for complex heraldic designs.

Q: What payment methods are accepted?
A: TT (bank transfer), Western Union, and PayPal. 50% deposit required to start production; balance before shipment.
