METALLIC,
DONE RIGHT.
Embroidered with genuine metallic thread for a reflective, high-shine finish that reads as premium on badges, uniforms, and branded goods. Explore the details below — up close, side by side, and everything in between — before you request your quote.
Real Shine
Genuine metallic thread catches and reflects light for a shimmer that flat printing or standard thread can't replicate.
Carefully Stitched
Metallic thread is more delicate to work with, so we run it at a controlled speed and tension to avoid fraying or breakage.
The Premium Look
Gold and silver accents instantly elevate a design — a favorite for military insignia, honors patches, and luxury branding.

How It's Made
Five steps, from your artwork to a finished metallic patch.
Artwork Review
We check your design for shapes and linework that will read cleanly in reflective metallic thread.

Your art is converted into a stitch file with settings tuned specifically for metallic thread's stiffness and tension.
Tone Matching
Metallic tones are matched to your brand palette and shown on a digital proof before production.
Stitching
Run at a controlled speed on commercial machines to prevent fraying, then trimmed and edge-sealed by hand.

Before You Order

Just 25 pieces per design — there's no massive factory minimum standing between you and a custom patch.
Printed patches use dye sublimation instead of thread — the design is printed directly onto fabric, so there's no texture, no stitch limits, and unlimited color and gradient support.
Dye-sublimated ink bonds into the fibers rather than sitting on top, so it holds up well to normal wear and washing, though it's less abrasion-resistant than embroidered thread over many years of heavy use.
Merrowed edges have a stitched border wrapping the patch for reinforcement — the classic look. Laser-cut edges are heat-sealed instead, allowing for tighter, more intricate shapes.
