Why Choose Embroidered Patches?

• Classic look & texture – raised stitching adds depth and dimension
• Durable – strong threads, UV resistance, and washability
• Flexible options – iron-on, Velcro, sew-on, or adhesive backings
• Versatile applications – uniforms, bags, hats, workwear, and more

Not sure if embroidery is right for you? If your design is highly detailed or includes gradients, you may prefer using our customised Printed Patches or Woven Patches.

Design Options

Our design team reviews every order to ensure your artwork is production-ready. We offer:

Threads

Polyester, rayon, and metallic finishes.

Borders

• Merrowed edge – a thick stitched edge that gives the patch a classic, rounded finish. Best for standard shapes like circles and squares.
• Laser-cut edge – the patch is cut exactly to the shape of your design with a clean finish. Perfect for custom shapes, fine details, or designs that don’t fit standard borders.

Backings

• Sew-on – the most durable option, ideal for uniforms, martial arts gis, and heavy-duty workwear.
• Iron-on heat seal – quick and easy application using heat, best for casual clothing, promotional items, and retail products.
• Velcro (hook & loop) – removable and interchangeable, perfect for defence, emergency services, and tactical use.
• Peel-and-stick adhesive – a temporary option for events, giveaways, or one-off promotions.

Quality Guarantee

Every patch goes through our 3-step quality control process:

1. Digital proof: PDF of your artwork with size, colours, and specs
2. Digitising proof: optional stitch pattern proof before production
3. Pre-production sample: scan/photo for final approval

✅ 100% Replacement Guarantee – If your patches don’t match the approved sample, we’ll remake and replace them at no cost.
