Customize your perfect patches
Creating the perfect custom patch for your brand is all about reflecting its unique identity through endless customization options. Whether you're designing for clothing, bags, or accessories, patches offer a versatile way to showcase your logo, artwork, or message.
Start by selecting the patch style that best suits your vision. You can choose from embroidered patches for a classic, textured look, woven patches for intricate details, or PVC patches for a sleek, modern design. The next step is selecting your patch's shape and size. Custom die-cut shapes allow you to craft a patch that perfectly matches your design, while standard shapes like circles, squares, and rectangles offer simplicity.
You can then select from a variety of border styles, such as merrowed or laser-cut edges, depending on the level of precision and durability you need. Attachment methods also play a big role in functionality, with options like iron-on, Velcro, or sew-on backs.
Finally, the color and thread choices give you even more control over the final look. With Pantone color matching, your patch can stay true to your brand's identity. Whether bold and vibrant or subtle and sophisticated, the design process is all about translating your vision into a lasting, high-quality patch.
