Operation PhoenixPosted by Patch Petursky in Corporate Stewardship |
What is Operation Phoenix?
Operation Phoenix is a CrossFit initiative that will raise the necessary funds to equip the entire United States Marine Corps with functional fitness equipment to increase combat preparedness, reduce injury, and strengthen unit cohesion. This will be accomplished through non-profit sales, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations. Every penny raised will go directly to "America's Fighting Force," the USMC.

Here's a comparison between a Woven Patch and an Embroidered Patch. Notice how the Woven Patch shows much cleaner detail, and how the letters are very clearly defined. The letters are also missing the little 'bridges' or single stitches between them. Woven patches are not for everyone, but feel free to ask if they would work for you!

Woven PatchesPosted by Patch Petursky in Woven Patches, Custom Patches |
Here's a photo of a couple of custom woven patches.
We are often asked about woven patches and labels, and with good reason. For 20 years or so, embroidery has been the standard in patches for uniforms. Embroidery can be beautiful, and if a patch maker is careful and diligent, fabulous patches can result. For proof, see our Hall Of Fame patches!
The downfall in our industry, and many others, is the tendency to do too much with too little. Patch makers are limited by thread thickness, the minimum size of the stitches, and filling the gaps between letters and other graphic elements with little links called 'bridge stitches'. So if your logo or patch design contains very small details, they will either be eliminated or distorted in the finished patch.

Custom Patch Hall Of FamePosted by Patch Petursky in Custom Patches |
We are often asked to provide samples of our work as proof of our quality. While we'd love to be able to accommodate everyone who asks, it's just not workable. Our products don't belong to us; they belong to our customers, so to distribute them to others is just not right. So how can we show off our work without stepping on our customers' feet?
The Custom Patch Hall Of Fame! We'll be adding our showstopper patches to our Hall Of Fame frequently. These high resolution images will be available 24/7 for the whole world to view.

Save A Tree!Posted by Patch Petursky in Corporate Stewardship |
Not all companies fear commitment
In fact, the best companies seek it. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been called the business issue of the 21st century and we agree. Companies must meet obligations to their shareholders, employees, customers, the community and the environment. That's why Great American Patch has contributed to vital forest stewardship programs that protect an important resource and preserve a key part of America's natural heritage.
Great American Patch is proud of the role we play and supports the efforts that concerned corporations and individuals throughout the country are making. Companies, big and small, recognize that social responsibility can provide a vast range of social and business benefits.
While no two companies who embrace CSR are implementing exactly the same programs, they have one common characteristic. These firms and the people who run them are getting committed.
