Product Description

Custom Embroidered Patches
Embroidered Patches are thicker than woven patches and used for bolder designs.

Embroidered patches are made with twill fabric and polyester threads. These can be manufactured in any shape or size needed. In order for the letters to be legible the size of letters should be at least 3/*6 high on twill background, or 1/4 high on heavier fabric background or stitched background.

We provide embroidered patches which are durable and fashionable. These washable items can be stitched or sticked on garment.These embroidered patches give garments or products a unique style that separates items from the ordinary.

Border Options

There are three types of borders for embroidered patches. Merrow border is a 1/8 border that over-locks the edge of the patch to give it a nice raised edge. Only patches with regular shapes or slightly irregular shapes with smooth angles can be merrowed.

Die-cut patches dont have an over-locking border. The background material shows on the edges no matter if there is a stitched border or not. The shapes of these emblems can be regular or slightly irregular.

Hot-cut is the best choice for patches with irregular shapes. The fabric of the edge is completely trimmed off so that it will never fray. Heat-cut embroidery with heat seal backing are great alternative for direct embroidery.

Material Options

Embroidered patches are usually made with twill fabric and polyester threads. We are all about customization so we provide several other options of fabrics that can be embroidered on. These include: reflective material, neon twill, felt, imitation leather, and suede. Thread colors are chosen from Pantone colors.


Backing Options

There are several ways to attach labels to your product. Heat seal, iron on, pressure sensitive, magnet, pellon, plastic, and Velcro backing. Below is listed in detail what these options are best used for. Patches can also be sewn on. Our company does not attach the labels but we can help you find somewhere local to your area who does.

Here are descriptions of the different backing options. Please let us know if you have any questions and we will walk you through the process to get the best possible option for your product.


Backing Option Descriptions

Plastic is a clear film that is applied to the back of the patch to make it stiffer and seal in the threads.
Pellon is a white opaque material that covers the back to seal in the threads and make the emblems slightly stiff.
Heat Seal is a material on the back of the patch that is then able to be ironed on to another surface.
