The brief
Inkcentric ordered patches of its client's logo, Malibu Music: a round badge with a guitar, a setting sun and waves. The patches were to be PVC and sewn on, and Inkcentric asked for a sewing channel: a flat border moulded around the edge, so the needle passes through the border and never through the design.
What Panda Patches made
We redrew the supplied logo as a virtual proof at 2.5 inches, with the sewing channel marked around the edge, and produced the patches in moulded PVC.

Timeline
Inkcentric placed and paid for the order on 26 August 2026, and FedEx confirmed delivery to Chatsworth, California on 28 September 2026: 33 calendar days from order to delivery. The date the proof was approved is not recorded, so we do not give an approval-to-delivery figure for this order. It took longer than our current published window for standard PVC, 12–14 business days after approval (delivery and shipping).
