Custom Made Patches

MINIMUM - 25 PIECES - NO SET UP FEES

Whether you’re looking to personalise your staff uniforms, logo your club kit with the teams badge or create a lasting reminder of an event, embroidered patches can offer you a cost effective way of achieving this.

Embroidered patches can be made from around 20mm in size, it’s all dependent on the design of the patch.

They can be applied by a variety of methods, dependent on the backing of the patch. Iron-On backing, traditional Sew-On style or for a different option, we can also offer Velcro, Felt, Sticker or Magnetic backing as further options. When ordering your patches, you can have them with an assortment of backing finishes if required.

Iron On Patches
The embroidered patch is manufactured and a strong adhesive glue is applied to the reverse of the patch. When placed into position on your garment and heat is applied (using ideally a commercial heat-press) the glue is melted and is absorbed into the pores of the fabric, giving a life-long permanent adhesion to your garment.

Please note: At present, the glue will not adhere to any materials that have been pre-treated with any repellents, these include water-proof sports coats etc

When applying the patch, place patch in desired position, cover with greaseproof paper or protective cover.

Apply heat for approx 20-30 seconds, if when looking at the patch it has not adhered all round, repeat for another 5-10 seconds. You can also turn the garment inside out and apply heat for around 10 seconds.

Generally with patches with Iron-on backing, we would strongly recommend that the border is a hot-knife border.

This is where the border is applied as part of the embroidery before the patch is cut out from the base material using a hot knife, the border is generally not so proud as the Merrow Border (see Sew On Patches), but allows for the glue to be prominent right to the edges of the patch.

Sew On Patches
Sew on patches are ideal where you want to add a bit more depth to your patch, in effect placing a frame around your image. This is generally more suited to patches used on Motorcycle Jackets, Heavy Duty Work Uniforms, Martial Arts Kits etc

It is generally recommended to have the Merrow Border on sew on patches, as it gives a good area to overlock the badge onto a garment.

The patch is made in the same way as most patches with the embroidery being stitched onto a background, the patch is then cut out and a border applied around the patch.

Although an iron on backing can be applied to these patches, the glue is applied before the initial cutting out process, therefore the merrow border will cover the edges of the glue.
