A morale patch is a great way to boost spirits in your business, team, or organization. Here’s how to make your own!
Everyone knows that morale is important for any business, organization, unit, department, or team. But did you know that something as simple as a patch can easily boost morale? Custom patches are one of the most effective ways to raise team spirits—and we make them all the time here at The/Studio!
Morale patches are mostly used by military units, but we have seen paintball/airsoft teams, organizations, and businesses use them as well. Any organization that wants to boost the morale of its members, foster team spirit, and build camaraderie can benefit from a well-made custom morale patch.
How Do I Create My Own Morale Patch?
First of all, you will need an idea of what you want your custom morale patch to be made from. If you work with The/Studio to get your custom morale patch created, then you don’t even need a sketch to get started. One of our talented artists can create a custom morale patch design for you with just your thoughts and ideas : ) All you need is your imagination!
Regardless, once you have your design in mind (or ready), then it’s time to start thinking about how many custom morale patches you’ll need. If you work with The/Studio, we have no MOQ (minimum order quantity), which means you can order as little or as many patches as you need.
Now comes the fun part! You get to decide what type of patch you want. You’ll have a variety of different patch options:
NOTE: Embroidered and PVC patches are most common for a military morale patch.
Next, you will have to decide on the patch size! The most common size for a patch is between 3 and 5 inches, but sizing is completely up to you and depends on the type of organization, team, club, or business you’re making the morale patches for.
Now it’s time to pick out a patch backing. If you work with The/Studio, we offer a variety of different patch packing options. These include:
- Iron on backing
- No backing
- Iron-on backing extending to border
- Velcro hook backing (adhesive)
- Adhesive backing
