Custom patches are a favorite for everything from uniforms to streetwear. With rich textures and vibrant thread colors, they bring bold designs to life with timeless style.

We make five types of patches to cover everything from team uniforms to outdoor gear. Depending on your logo and where you're putting it, you might want the 3D look of embroidery or the thin, clean finish of a woven patch. Check out the different styles below to find the one that fits your gear.
Embroidered patches are stitched with thread onto a fabric backing, creating a raised, textured look that holds up well to wear and washing. They work best for simple to moderately detailed designs like logos and lettering, and can be applied by sewing, ironing, or with Velcro backing. While durable and professional-looking, they cannot reproduce ultra-fine details or very small text as sharply as woven or printed options.
Woven patches are made by weaving threads on a backing material, producing a flat, smooth surface with sharp lines and clean edges. This lets them display small text, intricate logos, and gradients that embroidery can’t capture clearly. They’re thinner, more flexible, and still durable enough for everyday use, but lack the raised texture of embroidered patches.
Heat transfer patches use printed, heat-activated inks to fuse full-color designs onto a backing, allowing photo-quality images, fine details, and smooth gradients. Applied with a heat press, they’re thin, lightweight, and work on most fabrics, making them ideal for detailed branding and promotional items. However, they don’t offer the texture of traditional patches and may wear faster under heavy use or frequent washing.
Chenille patches are made by looping yarn through a felt backing, creating a plush, raised surface with a vintage varsity look. They’re best suited for large, simple designs like letters, numbers, and mascots, as the fuzzy texture obscures fine detail. While nostalgic and eye-catching, chenille can wear down faster in high-friction areas and isn’t recommended for intricate artwork.
PVC patches are molded from soft, flexible plastic, offering a modern 3D effect that’s waterproof and highly durable. Their crisp contours and vivid colors make them perfect for outdoor gear, tactical equipment, backpacks, and jackets. They’re heavier and less breathable than fabric patches and may not suit traditional or vintage styles.

Permanent and reliable, ideal for any patch type on heavy-use items and frequent washing.

Heat-activated adhesive for quick application, common on embroidered and woven patches; not recommended for PVC or chenille.

Hook-and-loop system for easy on/off; popular for tactical uniforms and interchangeable gear, especially with PVC patches.

Overlocked stitch wraps around the edge for a traditional, fray-resistant finish; best for simple shapes like circles and rectangles and ideal for embroidered and chenille patches.

Precise hot or laser trimming follows your design outline, perfect for intricate or custom shapes; slightly less fray-resistant than merrowed edges.

It depends on your logo and where you plan to use it. Embroidered patches offer a classic 3D texture, while woven patches are better for thin designs with fine detail. If you need something rugged for outdoor gear, PVC is the most durable choice. For a vintage varsity look, chenille is the way to go.
A merrowed edge is a traditional overlocked stitch that wraps around the border, making it very fray-resistant but limited to simple shapes like circles. A laser-cut edge is precision-trimmed to follow the exact outline of your custom design, which is ideal for complex or unique shapes.
