WHY EMBROIDERY?

Classic patch texture. Proper stitched detail.

Embroidered patches are built with thread stitched into a fabric base, creating the raised texture most people picture when they think of a traditional patch.

They're brilliant for bold logos, lettering, uniforms, clubs, workwear, merch and designs where you want the stitching itself to be part of the look.

WHERE THEY WORK

Made for more than jackets.

👕 Workwear & uniforms

Brand clothing without printing directly onto every garment.

🏆 Clubs & teams

Badges, achievements, membership and identity.

🎪 Events

Memorable event merchandise and limited-run patches.

🛍️ Merch & retail

Create a product people can wear, collect or customise with.

IS EMBROIDERY RIGHT FOR YOUR DESIGN?

Sometimes yes.
Sometimes we'd recommend
something else.

Embroidery is fantastic for bold artwork, strong lettering and designs that benefit from visible stitched texture.

Very tiny text, fine lines, gradients or highly detailed artwork may reproduce better as a woven, printed or combined construction.

That's why we review the actual artwork before recommending how your patch should be made.

THE EMBROIDERED LOOK

Raised.
Textured.
Properly patchy.

Thread gives embroidered patches depth and character that flat print simply doesn't have.

YOUR ARTWORK DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW HOW TO BE A PATCH

That's our bit.

Send us the logo, artwork, sketch, AI-generated design or idea. We'll look at what will actually work at the finished size and help translate it into embroidery.

FROM IDEA TO FINISHED PATCH

How custom embroidery works.

01

Send us the design

Finished artwork is great, but a logo, reference image, sketch or clear idea can be enough to get the conversation started.

02

We review it

We look at detail, lettering, finished size, colours, intended use and how the design will translate into stitches.

03

Artwork & sampling

Your design is prepared for production and a pre-production sample gives you an opportunity to review the result before the full run.

04

You approve it

If something needs adjusting, we can review changes before the main quantity enters production.

05

Production begins

Once approved, the full order is manufactured to the agreed specification.

06

Finished & delivered 🎉

Your finished patches are checked and prepared for dispatch or collection.

BUILD YOUR PATCH

The decisions we'll help you make.

📐

Size & shape

Tell us the finished dimensions you need. We can also advise if the artwork needs more space for details or lettering to reproduce properly.

🎨

Thread colours

We can work from your artwork and colour references and match thread shades as closely as practical.

✂️

Border & shape

Round, square, shield, custom-cut or wonderfully irregular — the design helps determine the best finishing method.

↩️

Backing

Depending on the project, options can include sew-on, heat-applied, self-adhesive or hook-and-loop backing.

EMBROIDERY FAQs

The questions we get a lot.

What's the difference between embroidered and woven patches?
Embroidered patches use stitched thread to create a raised, textured finish. Woven patches use finer woven threads and can reproduce smaller detail and lettering. See our embroidered vs woven guide for a full comparison.
Can you embroider very small text?
There are practical limits to how small lettering can be embroidered cleanly. If the detail is too fine for the proposed size, we'll suggest increasing the size or using another construction method.
Can you match brand colours?
We can work from artwork and colour references and select thread colours that match as closely as practical. If colour matching is particularly important, let us know when you send the project details.
Do I get to approve the patch before the full order?
Our custom process includes a pre-production sample and approval stage so you can review the patch before full production.
Can embroidered patches be ironed on?
Yes, heat-applied backing is available for suitable projects. Sew-on and other backing options are also available depending on how the patch will be used.
What if embroidery isn't suitable for my artwork?
We'll tell you. Some artwork is better suited to woven, printed, chenille or combined construction. You don't need to know the answer before contacting us.
