Creative Ways To Use Custom Patches
Custom patches are more than just fashionable additions to apparel. You can use them to commemorate special occasions, celebrate birthdays and much more.
Embroidered patches are among the most popular embellishments to shirts, coats, vests, tote bags and other fabric items. They’re useful for decorative purposes, to show membership in groups, to highlight achievements, or as a part of a uniform. Businesses use custom patches to present their logos to the public, and to boost branding in a simple yet effective manner.
More than Just Accessories
Embroidered patches are much more than accessories to apparel. They make great gifts and commemorative pieces. Here are some other creative ways to use custom patches:
Save The Date Announcements
If you want a novel way to promote your engagement, Save The Date patches are an outstanding way to do it. They're a keepsake that family and friends can treasure long after the wedding.
Birth Announcements
Handing out cigars, mailing paper announcements, or making phone calls are some traditional ways to announce a baby’s birth. Modern parents have leveraged technology for the task, using social media to make quick posts and present pictures to circles of friends and family.
According to the Baby Center, a pregnancy and parenting website, 72 percent of new parents recently surveyed used social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter, to announce their baby’s birth. The same percentage of parents also texted their news to loved ones. 76 percent used the phone call method, and just 44 percent emailed their announcement.
A Different, Stylish Way
Embroidered patches provide a stylish platform for birth announcements. Forget about those photo postcards that hang on the fridge. Frilly card stock announcements are great for scrapbooks, but why seal your exciting news in a closed book? Why not hand out custom embroidered patches with creative designs on a durable twill material? Friends and family can attach their patches to their favorite fabric items, or display them in a shadow box, on a shelf, or other places.
Anniversaries
Anniversaries are a good time to indulge in a celebratory meal at your favorite restaurant. A romantic evening on the town, a trip to some remote vacation destination, or some simple gestures of appreciation are excellent ways to convey your affections. Quirky gifts also make the occasion special. Toss out the old traditional gifts-by-year guidelines and give your significant other a surprise… Wear them as reminders of that special day, and keep them as cool keepsakes.
Birthdays
Birthdays are the perfect patch occasions. If you’re throwing a party, you’ll surely need the basics birthday hats, horns and other fun favors. But why not give away some custom patches, too? Your guests will go home with something different and distinctive. You might even attach your patches to an interesting garment that the birthday boy or girl can wear at the party!
Marketing Events
Embroidered patches are great giveaways for marketing events or fundraisers. They’re the ideal place to put your logo, statement or a simple message that relates to the day. Strike the right balance of appropriate and amusing, and you’ll have a hit product on your hands! These are just a few of the countless ways to use embroidered patches for any instance.
