BACK TO SCHOOL • PATCH IT • MAKE IT YOURS
Back to School, But Make It Personal.
Names on school bags. Initials on PE kits. Dinosaurs on backpacks. A giant fluffy letter just because. Patches are an easy way to make everyday school gear easier to recognise — and much more fun.
SMALL PATCH • BIG DIFFERENCE
Make school stuff easier to spot.
When twenty identical navy jumpers, black PE bags and water bottles are floating around a classroom, a little personalisation goes a surprisingly long way.
Easy to identify
Add names, initials or letters to bags, suitable uniform items and PE kit.
Actually personal
Let them choose colours, animals, hobbies or patches that feel completely theirs.
Refresh old gear
A patch can give last year's perfectly usable backpack or bag a completely different look.
WHERE DO WE START?
Pick your patch.
Start simple with a name or initial, add a number, or let them choose something from the decorative collection.
IDEA 01 • THE SCHOOL BAG
Start with the backpack.
Backpacks are probably our favourite place for school patches. There's plenty of room to play with, and you can combine practical personalisation with patches they genuinely love.

IDEA 02 • PE & SCHOOL GEAR
Help theirs stand out from the pile.
Initials and names can make suitable school and PE items much easier to identify. Always check your school's uniform policy before adding decorative patches to official uniform.
PE Kit
Initials or names can help identify suitable kit and sports bags.
PE Bags
One of the easiest places to add bold letters, numbers or symbols.
Outerwear
For non-regulation items, patches can make jackets and layers easier to recognise.
Clubs & Teams
Add team identity, numbers or achievement patches to suitable gear.
IDEA 03 • THE LITTLE THINGS
Don't stop at the backpack.
Pencil cases, lunch bags, fabric folders and other school accessories are brilliant little canvases for patches too.
Smaller decorative patches can add personality without taking over the whole item — or use a single initial to make it instantly recognisable.

Check the fabric first.
Not every school item should be ironed, and different patch backings suit different jobs. Check the care label and patch instructions before applying heat.

NEED MORE THAN ONE?
We make custom school patches too.
This is where we go from personalising one backpack to creating something for a whole class, club, society, sports team, house or school event.
Send us your artwork or idea and we can help turn it into a patch, with the design reviewed and sampled before the main production run.
