Custom Patches
Custom design and make TSC patches with high quality
A custom embroidered or PVC patch made to your artwork with high quality stitching or durable plastic moulding, designed for consistent branding across uniforms, gear, or promotional items. The design shown was produced for a TSC team with a detailed logo and text, and the same process applies to any organisation, event or campaign you send us. You approve a digital proof before production begins, so the final patch matches your expectations exactly.

Detail
What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Your logo or artwork is stitched or moulded directly into the patch rather than applied as a label
- Embroidered patches use strong thread and precise stitching to resist fraying and wear
- PVC patches are rigid and hold sharp detail, ideal for high-contrast or photographic designs
- One artwork proof covers all patch sizes and styles so consistency is maintained across orders
- Made in our own factory so changes to the design can be made quickly without third-party delays
Where It Is Used
- Uniforms and gear for sports teams, military units, or emergency services requiring durable identification
- Promotional merchandise for events, trade shows, or brand awareness campaigns
- Corporate team branding on jackets, bags, or hats for internal or client-facing use
- Fan merchandise and club gear where consistent design across multiple items is essential
- Award patches for recognition programs or membership milestones
Who It Is For
- Sports team managers ordering patches for a full season of uniforms
- Military or law enforcement units needing consistent unit identification
- Corporate HR or branding teams distributing branded gear to employees
- Event organisers producing team or participant patches for tournaments
- Non-profit groups creating recognition patches for volunteers or donors
Problems It Solves
- Stock patches carry generic designs and cannot show your team name or logo
- Printed patches on fabric fade, peel or crack after washing or repeated use
- Inconsistent colour or stitching between reorders due to different production batches
- Patches that look assembled from parts instead of being one integrated design
- Late changes to artwork that a supplier without in-house production cannot accommodate
