Custom Patches — Faster Turnaround Than Most Providers

Embroidered, woven, PVC, chenille, leather, or printed — designed, quoted, and moved into production faster than most custom patch companies.

Overview

What Are Custom Patches?

Custom patches are decorative or identifying badges — made from embroidered thread, woven fabric, PVC, chenille, leather, or printed material — attached to clothing, gear, or accessories with iron-on, sew-on, or Velcro backing. They’re used by businesses, clubs, sports teams, schools, and military or first-responder organizations to display a logo, name, rank, or design.

The right patch style depends on your design detail, budget, and use case — a simple logo works well as an embroidered or woven patch, while a photo-realistic design usually needs a printed or PVC patch. Below is everything we offer, organized by type and by use case.

Patch Types We Produce

Iron-On Patches

Heat-applied, adhesive-backed patches — attach with a household iron, no sewing required.

Sew-On Patches

Traditional patches with a merrowed or laser-cut border, stitched on for a permanent, durable finish.

Applique Patches

Fabric-layered patches combining twill or cotton appliqué with embroidered outlining for a bold, textured look.

Twill Patches

Smooth twill fabric base with embroidered borders — a classic choice for varsity and letterman-style patches.

Chenille Patches

Thick, raised, varsity-style chenille patches, chain-stitched for a soft, textured finish.

Velcro Patches

Hook-and-loop backed patches designed for easy attach-and-remove use on uniforms and tactical gear.

Printed Patches

Full-color, photo-quality designs printed directly onto patch material — ideal for detailed or gradient artwork.

PVC Patches

Durable, rubber-like patches molded in 2D or 3D relief, weatherproof and flexible for outdoor and tactical gear.

Leather Patches

Debossed or engraved leather (or faux-leather) patches, often used for branding on caps, bags, and apparel.

Woven Patches

Finely woven patches with a flatter finish than embroidery — ideal for small text and intricate detail.

Blank Patches

Plain, uncustomized patch bases prepared for future embroidery or printing.

FAQ's

Custom Patches FAQs

Q1: What is the best patch type for my design?

Simple logos and text work well as embroidered or woven patches, while photo-realistic or gradient designs are usually better suited to printed or PVC patches. Send us your artwork and we’ll recommend the best fit.

Iron-on patches attach with heat and adhesive (no sewing needed), sew-on patches are stitched directly onto fabric for a permanent finish, and Velcro-backed patches attach with hook-and-loop fastening so they can be removed and swapped.

A merrowed border is a rounded, stitched edge — the classic patch look. A laser-cut (hot-cut) border seals the edge flush to the patch’s shape, which works better for intricate or non-standard patch outlines.

Our minimum order starts at 50 patches. However, we can accommodate larger orders for bulk discounts, so feel free to contact us for customized quotes.
 
Our typical turnaround time is 24 to 48 hours, depending on the complexity of the design. Rush services are also available upon request.
