Built stitch by stitch.

Embroidered patches are the traditional choice. Every color is built from thread, stitched in layers onto a fabric base for a raised, textured finish that looks premium on almost anything.

Material · Yarn

Custom Chenille PatchesSoft texture.
Big impact.

Chenille uses thick, looped yarn to build a soft, raised pile. It is the texture people know from varsity jackets, and it is just as strong on streetwear and fashion pieces.

Custom PVC PatchesBuilt for detail.
Made to last.

PVC patches are molded from soft rubber in raised layers. Each color sits at its own height, edges stay crisp, and the finished patch handles water and hard wear.

FAQ

Material questions

What patch type should I choose?

It depends on your design and where the patch will be used. Embroidered suits most logos and uniforms. Woven and sublimated handle fine detail and full color. PVC is built for durability and a bold, raised look. Chenille is best for bold, textured letters, and leather gives a premium natural finish. Tell us about your project and we'll recommend a material.

What is the difference between embroidered and woven patches?

Embroidered patches use thicker thread stitched on top of a fabric base, giving a raised, textured look. Woven patches use much thinner thread woven together, so they're flatter and can hold smaller text and finer detail.

Can you reproduce my logo as a patch?

Yes. Send your logo file and we'll recommend the material and size that keep it clear and accurate, then show you a mockup before production.

Do you offer embroidered borders?

Yes. Depending on the patch type and shape, borders can be merrow (a rolled, overlocked edge), satin stitch, or a clean heat-cut edge.

Can I order custom shapes?

Yes. Along with circles, squares, rectangles and shields, patches can be cut to a custom outline that follows your design.
