Embroidered Patches
The workhorse of custom patches: dense thread on a stable backing, finished with a clean border. Sharp, tough, and at home on everything from work uniforms to club jackets.
How embroidered patches are made
We digitize your artwork into a stitch file, embroider it onto a backing material, cut the patch to shape, and finish the perimeter — either with a merrowed overlock edge for round and oval shapes or a satin-stitched border for custom outlines. What you get back is a self-contained badge you can apply to almost anything.
Because the patch is produced off the garment, quality does not depend on the fabric underneath. A logo that would pucker on a lightweight performance tee sits perfectly flat as a patch.
What people use them for
Embroidered patches are the standard for work uniforms, service and trade companies, motorcycle and car clubs, scouts and youth groups, security and safety wear, and hats of every kind. They are also the practical answer when you order apparel in mixed styles: one patch design applies cleanly to caps, polos, jackets, and bags without re-digitizing for each piece.
They are equally handy for reorders. Keep a box of patches on the shelf and you can brand a new hire's jacket the day they start.
Durability, coverage, and options
Thread does not crack, peel, or wash out the way a cheap transfer does, which is why embroidered patches survive years of laundering and outdoor work. Wash garments inside out on a cool cycle and avoid ironing directly over the patch, and the badge will typically outlast the garment.
Choose your size and shape, thread colors, border finish, coverage — full embroidery or partial, letting the backing color show through as part of the design — and backing type: sew-on for maximum hold, iron-on for quick application, or hook-and-loop for patches that need to come off. We handle 10 pieces to 10,000 with no minimum, custom patch creation starts around $5.57 for 100, and every order ships with $5 Flat-Rate Shipping to the Lower 48, with local pickup available.
