Embroidered patches are custom-made fabric badges created by stitching colorful threads onto a backing material to form your logo, text, or artwork. They’re one of the most popular ways to personalize clothing because they give a textured, premium look that stands out on uniforms, jackets, hats, bags, and everyday apparel.

Many brands and teams choose custom embroidered patches as an affordable and long-lasting branding option. They’re durable, washable, and available with different backings such as iron-on, sew-on, and velcro, making them easy to apply to almost any fabric. Whether you need patches for clothes, promotional items, or identity badges for your club or company, embroidered patches offer a clean, professional finish that stays vibrant over time.

If you ever need alternatives for higher detail or different textures, you can also explore our woven patches, PVC patches, or leather patches depending on your project.

The best size for your embroidered patch really depends on where you plan to place it and how detailed your design is. Most customers choose sizes between 2 to 4 inches, as this range works well for jackets, hats, uniforms, and bags without feeling too big or too small.

For artwork with small text or detailed logos, a slightly larger size (around 3.5 to 4 inches) helps the embroidery stay clear and readable. If the patch is meant for subtle branding, like a chest logo or cap badge something smaller, like 2 to 2.5 inches, is usually perfect.

If you’re unsure what size will look best, simply share your design with us. We’ll guide you toward the ideal dimensions so your custom embroidered patch looks clean, bold, and exactly the way you imagined.

Embroidered patches are made with thicker threads that give a bold, textured, and raised appearance, perfect for classic and eye-catching designs. In contrast, woven patches use finer threads, allowing for highly detailed artwork with a smooth, flat finish. If you want a traditional, durable look, go with embroidered patches; if you need intricate detail, woven patches are the better choice.Both embroidered and woven patches are great options — the best choice depends on the look and detail you want. Here’s a simple breakdown:

We offer several backing options to make sure your custom embroidered patches fit perfectly with how you plan to use them. Each one has its own benefits, so you can choose what feels right for your project:

• Iron-On Backing
  
  Quick, simple, and perfect for most clothing. Just apply heat and your patch bonds securely — ideal for jackets, shirts, and bags.
  
• Sew-On Backing
  
  The strongest and most durable option. If your patch will face frequent washing or daily wear, sew-on gives long-lasting reliability.
  
• Velcro (Hook & Loop)
  
  Great for uniforms, tactical gear, and items where patches need to be swapped or removed often. It’s practical and satisfying to use.
  
• Adhesive / Peel-and-Stick
  
  Best for temporary events, giveaways, or one-time promotions. Stick it on, wear it proudly, and remove it whenever you’re done.
