The basics

What is an embroidered patch?

An embroidered patch is a small piece of fabric with a design stitched into it. You attach it to a jacket, cap, bag or uniform instead of embroidering the garment directly.

Patches work well when a garment is hard to hoop, when you need the same badge on many items or when you want a raised, textured look. They also let you reuse a design on different products.

Every patch starts with a well-built stitch file. We digitize your artwork first, so the borders stay tight and the details stay clear. If you only need the file for your own patch machine, see our embroidery digitizing service.

How do I order custom patches?

Open the order form, attach your design and tell us the size, backing and quantity you need. We reply with a quote.

What affects the price of a patch?

Size, stitch count, number of colors, backing and quantity all affect the price. Simple designs usually cost less than detailed ones.

Common options are iron-on, sew-on and Velcro. Tell us how you plan to attach the patch, and we confirm what we can offer for your design.
