Detail
What You Get and Who Orders It
Key Benefits
- Your artwork is stitched directly into the patch rather than printed or applied as a label
- Embroidery uses thread that resists fading and fraying during washing and wear
- Designs can include multiple thread colours and textures for visual depth
- One digital proof covers all variations so consistent branding across multiple patches
- Made in-house to your artwork, so revisions are handled directly by the team producing the patch
Where It Is Used
- Youth groups and school clubs creating patches for members or events
- Awareness campaigns using symbolic designs to represent courage or personal stories
- Fan clubs and bands distributing patches as merchandise or event souvenirs
- Non-profits commemorating individuals or milestones with meaningful patch designs
- Corporate teams using patches for internal recognition or team identity
Who It Is For
- Youth programme coordinators ordering patches for a full season of activities
- Schools and scout groups creating identity patches for teams or events

Problems It Solves
- Stock patches carry generic designs that do not reflect your group’s identity or message
- Printed patches fade or peel after washing, especially with frequent use
- Multiple suppliers produce inconsistent thread colours across reorders
- Patches that look assembled from parts due to mismatched stitching and backing
- Late design changes that a supplier without in-house embroidery cannot adjust quickly

Use Guide
- Send vector artwork (AI PDF CDR) for best stitch clarity, especially on small text or fine lines
- Keep text above 2 millimetres in height to ensure it stitches clearly
- Choose backing type early—fusible for quick attachment, sew-on for heavy use
- Order a few extra patches per batch to cover replacements or damaged pieces
- Store patches flat or folded to avoid creasing the embroidery
