Custom Embroidered Patches

We love custom embroidered patches because you get the high quality feel of direct embroidery on an emblem that can applied onto many different types of apparel. Custom patches are a cool way to set your business or brand apart from the competition by giving your logo a custom feel with high quality polyester stitching. There are two types of custom embroidered patch: Emblem (with merrow border) or appliqué (custom shape / thin stitch border).

Custom Embroidery Patches

There are different styles for custom patches. There is 100% embroidery which means the surface area is 100% filled with stitching. 75% stitching is the next step down which means that 25%  will be whatever fabric color you choose as your background or base fabric. And 50% stitching which is the least amount of stitching. Meaning that 50% of your background twill color will be visible. The pricing below includes up to 6 colors for your patches and pricing is the same no matter how much stitching is being used with us.

Emblem Border Options

For more complex shapes when designing your custom patches consider using the Appliqué style which has a thin border stitch on the contour of the emblem. When you have a simpler shape like a circle, oval or rectangle there is another option called a merrow border. The merrow border is done after the emblem is finished being sewn out and a specialist applies a final stitched merrow border around the emblem by hand. This style of merrow border helps give a classic look that reminds us of an old school embroidered patch and also makes it easier to affix onto apparel like hats, beanies and jackets.

Custom Embroidered Patch - Backing Options

Heat seal backing option is great if you want to apply your custom emblem by yourself. We recommend using an industrial heat press if you want it to really adhere to the garment properly but if you are someone who likes to do things yourself that you can try using an iron on patches. Again we don't recommend it. When applying patches to a hat or jacket we always use sewing to make sure that it will be affixed onto the item securely and forever!

If you don't want patches iron on option there is velcro or hook and loop backing. For Velcro backing there is an added charge but being able to affix with hook & loop is a great and versatile backing.
