Custom Embroidered Patches

Custom embroidered patches are stitched with thread onto a twill base, so every line of your design stands up from the surface. They are the traditional choice for uniforms, clubs, bands and brands that want a patch that looks and feels handmade.

Material and texture

What makes embroidered patches special

Embroidered patches use polyester or rayon thread stitched onto a woven twill backing fabric. The stitching creates a raised, slightly glossy texture you can feel with your fingers. Thread coverage can be partial, letting the twill show through as a background colour, or full, where the whole surface is covered in thread.

You send us your own artwork, logo or sketch. Our team reviews it, recommends the right thread coverage and edge for your size, and sends you a custom quotation before anything is made.

Features and Benefits

Why customers choose custom embroidered patches for their designs.

Raised, tactile finish

Thread stands up from the base, giving your design depth that printing can't copy.

Bold, durable colour

Thread colours stay bright and hold up to regular wear and washing.

Traditional craft look

The classic style for uniforms, motorcycle clubs, scouts, teams and workwear.

Flexible coverage

Choose partial coverage for a lighter feel or full coverage for a dense, premium look.

Workmanship up close

These examples show the material and finish you can expect. Your patches are made from your own artwork, in the size, shape and colours you choose.

Sizes: Every embroidered patch is made to the size you need. Tell us the width and height in inches or centimetres. Very fine text and tiny details need a little more room to stitch cleanly, so our team will tell you if a slightly larger size would give a better result.

Custom Embroidered Patches: Questions & Answers

What are custom embroidered patches?

Custom embroidered patches are patches stitched from thread onto a twill fabric base, made to your own design. The stitching gives a raised, textured finish. You send us your logo or artwork, choose the size, quantity, backing and border, and we make the patches for you.

Do you make custom embroidered patches for customers in the USA and UK?

Yes. Patchify Store makes custom embroidered patches for customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. Upload your design on our quote form, choose your size, quantity and options, and we will email you a custom quotation that includes delivery to your address.

What is the difference between embroidered and woven patches?

Embroidered patches use thicker thread for a raised, textured surface. Woven patches use much finer thread for a flat surface that can hold smaller text and finer detail. If your design has tiny lettering, we may suggest woven instead.

Can you match my brand colours?

Yes. We match thread colours as closely as possible to the colours in your artwork. If you have exact colour codes such as Pantone references, add them in the Preferred Colors field on the quote form.

What artwork do I need to send?

Any clear image of your design works to start: PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG or AI files. Vector files (SVG, AI, PDF) give the cleanest result, but our team can work from a good-quality image too.
