football Patch

What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Full embroidery means the design is stitched into the fabric, not printed or applied as a label
- Package edge finish gives a clean, professional border that resists fraying and looks tailored
- Embroidery holds up through repeated washing and field use without fading or peeling
- One digital proof covers all sizes and placements so patches stay consistent across uniforms
- Made to order in our own factory, so you work directly with the team that stitches your design
Where It Is Used
- Youth and school football teams needing uniform patches for jerseys and gear
- Club teams ordering patches for season-long use across multiple players and kits
- Tournament organisers distributing branded patches to participating teams

Problems It Solves
- Printed patches fade, crack or peel after a few washes, especially under field conditions
- Cut edge patches fray quickly and look unfinished after repeated use
- Stock patches carry generic designs that do not reflect your team name or logo
- Different suppliers use different thread counts and stitch density, leading to inconsistent quality
- Late changes to artwork are hard to absorb when the patch is made offsite

Use Guide
- Send vector artwork (AI PDF CDR) for best stitch clarity, especially for small text and fine lines
- Keep text above 2 millimetres in height to ensure legibility after stitching
- Confirm whether you need sew-on or iron-on backing before proofing
- Order a few extra patches per size to cover replacements and damaged pieces
- Store patches flat or folded to avoid creasing the embroidery before use
