Patch Types

Six ways to wear your brand.

Each patch type suits a different look, durability requirement, and budget — tap any card for a full breakdown.

Embroidery Patches
Type 01
Embroidery Patches

The classic textured patch with rich, raised stitch detail. The most popular choice for uniforms, scout troops, and brand merch — iron-on, sew-on, or velcro backing.

Woven Patches
Type 02
Woven Patches

Fine detail and small text rendered flat instead of raised. Ideal for intricate logos and tiny lettering — thin, flexible, and built for crisp resolution.

PVC Rubber Patches
Type 03
PVC Rubber Patches

3D moulded, waterproof, and UV-resistant. Vivid color and unmistakable tactile feel — the default choice for tactical gear and outdoor brands.

Chenille Patches
Type 04
Chenille Patches

Thick, fuzzy loop-pile letters and shapes with a retro collegiate feel. The signature look for varsity letterman jackets and team apparel.

Sublimation Patches
Type 05
Sublimation Patches

Full-color photographic printing baked into the fabric. Unlimited colors and gradients with crisp photo detail — perfect for event merch and brand collateral.

Leather Patches
Type 06
Leather Patches

Real or faux leather debossed, laser-engraved, or printed. The premium label finish for hats, denim, bags, and apparel brand tags.

In Focus

Patches that hold up anywhere.

PVC morale patch with vibrant 3D detail
PVC Rubber · Tactical Grade

Waterproof, UV-safe.
Built outdoors.

Our PVC patches are precision-moulded in soft, flexible rubber that takes color like nothing else. Hose them down, leave them in the sun, run them through the wash — they'll still look like day one. The default choice for tactical teams, morale gear, and outdoor brands.

  • 2D or 3D moulded — bold raised detail
  • Waterproof & UV-safe — won't fade or warp
  • Pantone color matching available
  • Hook velcro backing for swap-out morale loadouts
Varsity-style chenille letter patch
Chenille & Letterman

The varsity classic.
Reborn.

Loop-pile chenille has a tactile depth no printed patch can fake. We layer it on twill or felt with a merrow border for an instantly nostalgic look — the same finish you'll find on heritage letterman jackets. Choose any combination of school colors and we'll match Pantone for free.

  • Loop-pile chenille on twill or felt base
  • Merrow border in your school colors
  • Sizes from 2" letters to full back pieces
  • Bulk pricing on full team rosters
Backing Options

Five ways to attach.

Pick the right backing for your end use — every backing is included free with your order.

Iron-On

Heat-activated adhesive. Press at 320°F for 15 seconds. Holds for 25+ washes.

Sew-On

Plain twill back. The most permanent option — perfect for uniforms and workwear.

Hook Velcro

Swap-out loadouts in seconds. Standard for tactical, morale, and uniform patches.

Self-Adhesive

Peel-and-stick for short-term wear or event giveaways. Removable, no residue.

Button-Loop

Custom backing for hats and bags — built-in loop for clip-on attachment.

Reviews

What our customers say.

★★★★★

"Ordered 200 PVC morale patches for our unit. The color match was spot-on against our Pantone, the velcro backing is solid, and they arrived in 11 days flat. Already drafting the next order."

Mike R.
Tactical Outfitter, Colorado
★★★★★

"The chenille letters look exactly like the vintage letterman jacket my dad still has. Quality is unreal for the price."

JT
Jessica T.
High School Athletics Coordinator
★★★★★

"Tiny logo with 6pt text in it — they nailed it with woven. Other vendors said it couldn't be done at that minimum."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Minimums vary by patch type — sublimation and leather start at 25 pieces, embroidery and PVC at 50, and woven and chenille at 100. All orders are subject to a $100 minimum order value, whichever is greater.
Standard production is 10–14 days for embroidery, woven, and sublimation; 14–18 days for PVC moulded patches. Shipping is on top of that — typically 2–5 business days express. Rush production is available for an upcharge.
We accept AI, EPS, PDF, PNG, PSD, and high-res JPG. A vector file (AI/EPS/PDF) is ideal, but if you only have a JPG or sketch, send it over — our art team will redraw it for free as part of your order.
Embroidery and chenille include up to 9 thread colors at no extra cost. PVC patches include up to 8 colors. Sublimation is unlimited — full CMYK including gradients and photo detail.
Yes — share your Pantone references with your order. We match against PMS Solid Coated for embroidery thread, PVC ink, and chenille yarn. We'll confirm matches on your digital proof before production starts.
Iron-on for casual apparel and merch · sew-on for uniforms and workwear that get heavy wash cycles · hook velcro for tactical, morale, and any patch you want to swap · self-adhesive for events and short-term wear · button-loop for hats and bags.

Sew-on and PVC patches are effectively permanent — they outlast the garment. Iron-on patches hold for 25+ wash cycles when applied correctly (320°F, 15 sec, firm pressure). For garments that get washed daily, we recommend sew-on or iron-on with a tack-stitch perimeter.
Yes — tiered volume discounts kick in at 100, 250, and 500+ pieces. Reorders of the same design get the previous unit price locked in, so you never re-quote your bestsellers.
