What our customers say about us
Well done to the whole team. From order processing and advice, through to ordering and production, right through to delivery – everything was top-notch.

Design and order your own personalised patches
We produce personalised badges and patches to your customised Design – from 10 items, great value and top quality. Keeping customers happy since 1986.
Almost anything is possible as a design: a band symbol, flowers, letters, camp badges, a logo, lettering or your own drawing. And all in a range of colours, from black and white to a riot of colour.
The patches are embroidered, woven or printed according to your requirements. We can also produce rubber-like patches, as well as fabric key rings featuring your design. You choose the shape: round, rectangular, square, coat-of-arms-shaped – or free-form, following the outline of your design.
Depending on your preference, the patches can be finished with a chain stitch or a laser-cut edge – both of which prevent fraying. One more thing: made-to-order items are simply too expensive. We explain why this is the case here.
Personalised service for every order
Upload a design and production starts automatically, without anyone checking whether it will actually make a good patch? Not with us. We check every order and every design personally – drawing on nearly 40 years’ experience and having produced many thousands of patches. If necessary, we’ll point out any potential issues and offer advice. Free of charge, with no additional costs.
Once your design has been converted into an embroidery programme, you will receive a preview of your finished patch for approval. This allows you to check, before production and delivery, whether the result meets your expectations.
Before, during and after production, a customer service representative will be available to assist you at any time by email or telephone.
FAQ Patches
What is the difference between badges and patches?
It’s quite simple: there isn’t one. ‘Patch’ is simply the English word for an appliqué – so you can use either term. However, ‘patches’ is used not only for appliqués but also, more generally, for patches on items of clothing.
How much do patches with a custom design cost?
Prices start at €0.71 and go up to €6.19 per item – depending on size and, above all, the quantity ordered. 1,000 pieces of a design with a diameter of 5 cm cost €0.71 each; for 100 pieces at 6.4 cm, the price is €1.61, and for 20 pieces at 8.5 cm, it is €5.30. The best way to calculate your individual price is to use the Online price calculator.
How do you iron on or stick on patches?
The easiest way to order the patches is directly via Ironing surface on the back. This is a layer of fabric adhesive which becomes liquid when heated and bonds the patch firmly to the fabric as it cools. Alternatively, fabric adhesive is available in tubes – but that’s much less convenient.
What other types are there apart from embroidered patches?
Patches are available embroidered (the cheapest, the most popular), woven (flatter, more detailed) or printed (any colours, lots of detail). In addition, there are Rubber Patches made of rubber-like PVC and Fabric key ring with an eyelet or ring. All types are available with your own design.
Patch prices
You can find out the exact price for embroidered patches using our Price calculator. However, you will always receive a personalised quote. We offer free delivery on all badges and patches within Germany.
The price depends on the print run: the more patches you order of a particular design, the cheaper each individual patch becomes. Our Price Guide.
In addition, there are factors such as size, production method (embroidered, woven, printed or rubber), the method of attachment (iron-on or Velcro) and special features such as gold or silver thread.
Order patches by express delivery
Do you need the patches urgently? If so, you should Order by express delivery: Instead of taking 4–5 weeks, the patches will then be with you in 12–14 days.
To do this, simply send us your design to info@aufnaeher.de. We will provide you with a no-obligation quote and estimate the shortest possible delivery time at present.
A fair word of warning before you start: express orders cost significantly more. If you order in good time, you’ll save money.
Production methods: embroidered, woven, printed or rubberised
Patches can be produced in three ways: embroidered, woven or printed. In addition, there are rubber-like PVC patches (Rubber Patches) and Textile labels.
Each type has its own advantages: embroidered patches are the cheapest and by far the most popular choice. Woven patches are ideal for more intricate designs, whilst printed patches are even suitable for photo-quality designs, though they cost a little more. Rubber patches, on the other hand, are waterproof.
Sew on, iron on or Velcro
Patches are usually sewn on – as the name suggests.
Iron-on application is just as popular: on request, we can apply a Ironing surface, so that you can apply them with an iron. These patches are often referred to as iron-on patches or are used as iron-on patches.
Less common, but equally possible: a Velcro surface on the back.
Patches for motorbikes, children, clubs or featuring a company logo
At aufnaeher.de, you can buy patches for every purpose: as Motorcycle patch on the cassock, as Fire brigade patches for the jacket or as a patch for clubs – on club kit as well as camp badges for the Scouts.
For fan clubs, patches on football shirts play the same role as those on Carnival. And, of course, children love patches on their clothes too – whether on a T-shirt, jacket, bag or cap.
Large patches, small patches – we’ve got them all
Choose the exact size that suits your design. As well as the standard sizes, we also produce very large patches: up to 42.5 × 29.5 cm embroidered, up to 19.5 cm woven and up to 40 cm printed.
And if you need something very small: we can, of course, produce even small badges, provided they meet the minimum size requirement.
