Patch Types
Choose the construction that fits your design, garment, and budget.
Classic overlocked edge with a raised thread border. The traditional patch look that is durable, clean, and timeless. Best for simple shapes like circles, squares, and rectangles.
Precision laser-cut edges for intricate shapes that merrow stitching cannot achieve. Perfect for detailed logos, custom outlines, and die-cut designs with tight corners.
Fine thread woven patches with photographic detail. Supports smaller text and tighter details than embroidered patches. Ideal for badges and uniform insignia.
Fuzzy, raised chenille yarn for varsity letters and mascot patches. The classic letterman jacket look that is bold, textured, and nostalgic.
Rubber-like PVC patches for tactical gear, outdoor equipment and heavy-use apparel. Waterproof, fade-proof, and virtually indestructible in any environment.
Heat-seal backing for easy at-home application. Just press with an iron for 30 seconds with no sewing required. Creates a permanent bond that survives the wash.
