The patch board
Fresh off the board
A look at the styles, shapes and finishes we produce. Tap a patch for the details.
Items marked “sample” are illustrations of patch styles, not customer orders.
Up close
Details you can see. Quality you can feel.
The small things decide whether a patch looks sharp for years or frays in a season. Here's what we check on every order.
Detail 01
Thread density
Enough stitches to fully cover the fabric, without stiffening the patch.
Detail 02
Clean borders
Tight, even merrowed edges that hold up to washing and wear.
Detail 03
Fine lettering
Small text is checked during digitizing so it stays readable.
Detail 04
Color separation
Crisp lines between thread colors, matched as closely as possible to your artwork.
Detail 05
Backing options
Iron-on, sew-on, hook-and-loop or adhesive, chosen for where the patch goes.
Detail 06
Merrowed vs. hot-cut
Rolled edges for classic shapes; hot-cut edges for intricate custom outlines.
Detail 07
Embroidered vs. woven
Raised texture and bold color, or a flat weave for very fine detail.

Good questions
Questions, answered
Do I need finished artwork?
No. A sketch, photo of an existing patch or a description is enough to get started. Our designers prepare production-ready artwork and send you a proof.
What is the minimum order for custom patches?
Our minimum is 10 patches per design. Larger quantities lower the price per patch because setup costs are shared across the run.
How do I get a price for my patches?
Use our quote form. Tell us the size, quantity, patch style and backing, and upload your artwork if you have it. We'll reply with pricing and recommendations.
Which patch type should I choose?
It depends on your design and use. Embroidered patches have a classic texture, woven patches capture fine detail, PVC is waterproof, chenille has a varsity look, and printed or sublimated patches reproduce photos. See our patch types or ask us for a recommendation.
How long does it take to receive my patches?
Delivery time depends on the patch type, quantity and complexity, plus shipping. Your quote includes an estimate. If you have a deadline, enter it in the quote form so we can plan around it.
