Or maybe those company jackets you buy every Christmas would be a bit less expensive if you could just apply patches to them as opposed to your yearly order with your local embroidery shop. With custom patches you have a few options to consider. We offer pvc backed patches standard on orders. PVC backing is a plastic backing that helps extend the life of the patch by giving it durability, and structure. Or you can opt for custom patches with an iron-on backing, great for applying on canvas, or cotton material. Custom iron-on patches are also great for hats and ball caps. For custom tactical patches velcro, or hook and loop, backing is great for your gear. "Velcro" is actually a brand name so the patch industry most commonly refers to these as Hook & Loop. Hook backing is what will come on the patch, it is the harder plastic side with lots of tinny hooks. Loop is the soft side that the hook side secures to. A lot of tactical gear already has loop sections on it, making "Hook" backing a great choice. Or order with both Hook & Loop so you can sew the loop material anywhere you would like to your clothing to place the patch. There are a couple options for the edge of your custom patch as well. A Merrowed edge is traditional with the boarder of the patch having threading that loops around from the back to the front of the of the patch. A Merrowed edge, or Merrowed boarder, patch work best for round shapes. For custom shapes, or any custom patch with a sharper corner to two, a Cut, or Flat edge is best. These patches are generally cut with a laser machine making it possible to be very intricate. Cut Edge Merrowed Edge And of course you have your size of custom patches. We can handle up to a 12" custom back patch perfect for jackets all the way down to a 2 inch custom small patch perfect for a hat. Please note that with embroidery, the larger the patch the more and better the detail turns out, the smaller the patch the less the detail turns out.
