Embroidery Patches
Custom embroidered patches, stitched to last
Thread laid down in layers so your logo sits proud of the fabric. It is the finish people picture when they hear "patch" — durable, textured, and forgiving on everything from a cap front to a jacket back.

How it is made
What you are actually getting
An embroidered patch starts as a twill base. Your artwork is digitised into a stitch file, then a computerised machine lays coloured thread across the fabric until the design is solid. The result is a badge with real physical depth — you can feel the outline under your thumb.
It is the most forgiving construction we make. Embroidery survives industrial laundering, sun, and years of wear on a working uniform, which is why police departments, fire crews and school districts keep specifying it decades after cheaper printed options arrived.
Key features
Why our embroidered patches hold up
Borders that hold
Merrowed, embroidered or laser-cut edges — all sealed so the patch will not fray at the corner after a wash cycle.
Crisp lettering
We adjust stitch density and pull compensation per typeface so small text stays readable instead of closing up.
Any run size
Five pieces for a club or fifty thousand for a national rollout — same digitising, same inspection.
Our production process
-
01
Send the idea, not a finished file
A sketch on paper, a logo in low resolution, or a description in a WhatsApp message is enough. Our design team redraws it to production quality at no charge.
-
02
Digital mockup inside 24 hours
You get a to-scale visual with thread colours, dimensions and backing called out. Ask for changes as many times as you need — revisions are free until you are happy.
-
03
Approve, then production runs 7–14 days
Nothing goes to the floor without your sign-off. On large or repeat orders we can send a physical sample first so you can feel the weight and edge before committing.
-
04
Inspected, boxed, tracked
Every batch is checked for colour match, stitch density, edge finish and backing adhesion. Then it ships with tracking, anywhere in the USA or overseas.

Backing options
How it attaches
The backing decides whether the patch is permanent, removable, or something you press on at home in ten seconds.
Heat press
Applied with heat and pressure in a commercial press. The strongest bond and the flattest finish — best for bulk uniform runs.
Sew-on
Stitched directly onto the fabric. Permanent, traditional, and the only sensible choice for leather, heavy denim and thick outerwear.
Velcro
Hook-and-loop backing so the patch comes off and goes back on. Standard for tactical kit, name tapes and anything that swaps between garments.
Iron-on
Heat-activated adhesive you can apply with a household iron. Fast and clean on cotton and poly-cotton; add a few stitches if it will see heavy wear.
Border options
How it ends
The edge is the first thing that frays on a cheap patch. Three ways to finish it properly.
-
Merrowed border
The traditional raised, rounded edge. Thick, protective, ideal for simple shapes — circles, shields, rectangles.
-
Embroidered border
Clean modern lines that can follow any outline, so intricate and irregular shapes stay sharp.
-
Laser cut border
A smooth, sealed edge with a subtle sheen and virtually no bulk. The most precise option for complex silhouettes.

Frequently Asked Questions
A piece of fabric backing — usually twill — with your design stitched onto it in coloured thread by a computerised embroidery machine, then finished with a sealed border.
Merrowed gives the classic rolled, raised edge and suits simple shapes: circles, shields, rectangles. Laser cutting seals the edge flat and can follow any irregular outline, so pick it for complex silhouettes.
Fine outlines and moderate colour counts reproduce well. Text below about 3 pt and photo-realistic gradients do not — we will tell you before production if your artwork is pushing that limit.
Iron-on is quick and clean on cotton and poly-cotton. Sew-on is permanent and the only sensible option for heavy denim, leather, or anything washed weekly at high temperature.
No. We run small orders and bulk orders through the same process; unit pricing simply improves with volume.
