What's the latest craze in American pop culture these days? Some would argue it's the new film entitled "Hunger Games." In fact, the film is so popular that if its subsequent installments are equally well received the story could develop its own cult following in the same league as the Harry Potter and the Star Trek stories. And that leads to the point of today's blog: embroidered patches and not just for bikers.
If you know anything about Star Trek you know it has engendered legions of followers who have organized their own clubs all over the world. For example, there are Star Trek clubs based on the fictional Klingon society which include everything from a fully developed history and culture to a language that club members speak fluently. Many of these clubs organize themselves into military units with their own official insignias and mottos. When they create their military uniforms they purchase custom club patches to add a measure of authenticity.
As it turns out, any group that wants its own custom patches can get them simply by submitting their artwork to a company like The Cheap Place. Today's computerized embroidery makes it fairly simple to take your digital image and transform it into an entire lot of patches dedicated to your group or club. Even individuals who buy wholesale patches can create a market for their unique products by submitting designs to be made into custom pieces. It's a great way to develop brand loyalty among your customer base.
There are so many great uses for embroidered patches they are virtually limited only by individual creativity. From representing your club to repairing a hole in your jacket, patches are the ideal solution for so many things. Even for movie buffs who want to join the action!
