The all-rounder. Choose it for company logos, team badges, and uniform programs.
The detail choice. Choose it when lettering is tiny or the artwork has fine lines.
The tough choice. Waterproof rubber for gear, workwear, and outdoor brands.
The classic choice. Raised fuzzy texture for letterman jackets and athletic programs.
The premium choice. Pressed or engraved leather for hat programs and heritage labels.
The photo choice. Full-color printing when your artwork is a photograph or has gradients.
Thin metallic material for caps and sports shirts when the design needs a metallic finish.
Measure your design at its widest and tallest points. Patch size is quoted as width by height in inches.
Most hat patches run 2 to 3 inches wide and up to 2 inches tall.
Uniform and logo patches usually run 3 to 4 inches.
Large statement patches, often 8 inches and up, sized to the garment.
Press with a heat press or household iron on the cotton setting, firm pressure, for about 30 seconds. Let the patch cool fully before checking the bond. For garments that will be washed often, sew-on or Velcro lasts longer.
Every patch type can be finished with the backing and border that fits how it will be used.
The classic choice for a durable, permanent attachment. Stitched around the edge, it holds on uniforms, jackets, and bags for the life of the garment.
A heat-activated film on the back. Press it on in under a minute with a heat press or household iron. Secure, long-lasting adhesion on flat garments and hats.
A self-adhesive back for events, name badges, and temporary placement. Affordable and convenient, no heat or sewing needed.
Hook side on the patch with the loop panel included. Swap patches on tactical gear, bags, and uniforms whenever you like.
A thick, raised, rounded wrapped edge. The classic finish that protects the patch from fraying and frames the design cleanly.
Thread stitched right to the edge of the shape. Precision cutting gives clean, modern lines, ideal for custom shapes.
A smooth, sealed edge with a subtle sheen. Clean and elegant, best for detailed or delicate outlines.
