Real Texture

Raised thread gives embroidered patches a tactile, dimensional quality that printed patches can't match.

Built To Last

Tightly stitched thread holds up to washing, weather, and years of wear far better than most alternatives.

The Classic Look

Instantly recognizable on jackets, uniforms, and gear — embroidery is the traditional patch format for a reason.

How It's Made

Five steps, from your artwork to a finished patch.

01

Artwork Review

We check your design for embroidery-readiness and flag anything too fine to stitch cleanly.

02

Digitizing

Your art is converted into a stitch file that controls needle path, direction, and density.

03

Thread Matching

Colors are matched to your brand palette and shown on a digital proof before production.

04

Stitching

Run on commercial multi-head embroidery machines, then trimmed and edge-sealed by hand.

05

Shipped To You

Packed flat in water-resistant sleeves and shipped with tracking, worldwide.

Straight From Customers

Before You Order

Can't find your answer here? Reach out — we're happy to help.

What's the minimum order quantity?

Just 25 pieces per design — there's no massive factory minimum standing between you and a custom patch.

How many thread colors can I use?

Up to 15 thread colors per design. More complex color counts may need a small setup adjustment — we'll flag it on your proof.

Can embroidery handle small text?

Small text is possible but has limits — extremely fine lettering can blur together when stitched. Our design team will flag anything too small and suggest a fix.

What's the difference between merrowed and hot-cut edges?

Merrowed edges have a stitched border wrapping the patch for reinforcement — the classic look. Hot-cut edges are heat-sealed instead, allowing for tighter, more intricate shapes.

Do you offer rush production?

Yes, rush production is available for an additional fee — just mention your deadline when requesting your quote.

I don't have finished artwork — can you still help?

Absolutely. Send us a rough sketch, a description, or a reference image, and our design team will build a proof from scratch.
