Patch Sizing Options
Patches come in all shapes and sizes. We have done small patches for scouts and military uniforms, as well as larger patches for biker jackets and sports teams. We have the experience and knowledge to provide whatever size patch you need!
Determining the size of your custom embroidered patch is easy. Measure the length and width of your patch, add them together and divide that number by 2.
Determining Size
If the height of your patch is 2″ and the width of your patch is 4″, you would add 2 + 4, which equals 6. You then divide 6 by 2, which equals 3, The size the size of your 2″ x 4″ patch would be 3".
Patch Backing Options
We offer a choice of traditional sew-on backing, iron-on, button loops or Velcro. Each backing type has its advantages for specific uses. Our experienced staff can help you decide which type is best for your particular application.
Tape Backing
Easily removable, versatile, and less permanent than other backings, tape backing is great for when you need a quick option for a costume or outfit.
Iron On Backing
Allowing for quick and easy attachment, all you need is an iron. Simply place the patch on the garment, cover it with a thin, damp towel to prevent burning, then hold the iron over the patch for 20-30 seconds until fully secured.
Velcro Backing
Velcro backing allows you to quickly and easily remove your patch from a garment. Velcro is great for when you have multiple patches or need to be able to remove the patch often.
Plastic Backing
A rigid plastic backing is added to your patches. This gives your patches extra support, meaning they will maintain their shape, even after constant use. This can be used in conjunction with iron-on backing.
Patch Borders
Hot Cut Edge
Instead of the standard rounded edges, hot cut patches have sharp, detailed edges. Great for patches with fine levels of detail and intricate designs that really stand out!
Merrow® Border
Merrow® sometimes called merrowed borders are the standard in the industry and are considered a classic look. For a simple, yet elegant design on your patches, Merrow® borders are the ideal choice.
Other Patch Options
Metallic Thread
Great for flashy, eye-catching designs, metallic threads really help your patches stand out in a crowd. Best used sparingly, metallic threads are available in multiple colors.
Additional Thread Colors
All orders include up to seven thread colors, free of charge. Want to include more than seven colors? No problem! We have hundreds of thread colors to choose from, meaning your patches come out looking exactly like what you had in mind.
Button Loop
Button loops are great for patches that are designed to hang from a lapel pin or button. No sewing or gluing is involved, all you need is something to hang your patches from!
