In principle you can have embroidered patches made in absolutely any shape, including irregular ones (the outline follows the artwork).
Classic shapes for embroidered patches are often a square or another rectangular shape, a round patch or a triangle. The classic crest shape and any custom outline are also common with embroidered patches.
For the best rendering of your artwork as Patch we select a suitable base fabric. The logo is then embroidered onto it. A large selection of threads is available for this. You can have special effects embroidered with gold or silver metallic thread.
Turning your design into a finished patch is done with special embroidery programmes. The best technology and staff with years of practice guarantee top quality.
In principle you can have absolutely any design embroidered as a patch. So you can design your patches entirely as you wish.
You should bear in mind, however, that the thickness of an embroidery thread naturally means that designs, or their details, cannot be reproduced infinitely finely on embroidered patches. We do our best to reproduce your design as well as possible, but patch embroidery technology has its limits (even if you upload more detail in the graphics file).
You should also bear in mind that lettering should be at least 5 mm high so that it is easy to read on embroidered patches.
Naturally you want your patch to last and not fray. That is why, with classic patch shapes, your patch gets what is known as a merrowed border, i.e. the edges are finished with an elastic, chain-like (hence the German name) surround made from a single-colour thread.
The advantage: a merrowed border like this is very durable, makes patches hard-wearing and looks very good too.
If you have a patch with a free, custom shape, a merrowed border is only possible to a limited extent, as very sharp corners, curves and points cannot be merrowed. A very good alternative to the merrowed border is the laser cut. Here the edge is cut very finely with a laser and the threads are automatically fused together. This also creates an attractive edge that does not fray.
You can of course simply sew your patches on in the classic way (which is where the German name “Aufnäher” comes from).
An alternative, and often simpler, is to iron them on. We can therefore give your patches an iron-on backing and you simply attach the embroidered badges with an iron.
What's more, when having patches embroidered, a hook-and-loop fastening is also possible, applied to the back of your embroidered patches.
When ordering, simply select the type of fastening you would like.
Ordering itself is very easy: you upload your artwork, choose the quantity and size plus any extras, and send off the order. We then check it. If a design cannot be produced for any reason or causes major problems, we will of course get back to you.
As the next step, with embroidered patches you receive a photo of your patch to check (usually a few days after your order, or in the week after). Now you can see whether the embroidered design has turned out as you imagined. Colour changes and technically feasible improvements can still be made at this point – free of charge, of course.
After your approval, your patch goes into production and is embroidered in our embroidery works. Once finished, we carry out another internal quality check and immediately afterwards it is dispatched to you (there are no extra shipping costs for you – these are already included in the price!).
Besides embroidered patches, there are other ways to produce your custom patch, namely the woven and printed Version:
You can order these from us as well.
1. Enter the desired patch size:
The first step is to specify the size of your embroidered patch (width and height in cm). For round patches (e.g. with a diameter of 8 cm), enter 8 cm x 8 cm in the ‘Height x Width’ field. You can order patches directly here up to a size of 12.7 cm (diameter for round patches, width + height / 2 for all other shapes). Larger patches are also possible, but will be priced on a case-by-case basis. To receive a quote, please send us your logo, specifying the desired size and quantity. We will then send you our competitively priced quote.
2. Selection of possible extras (special requests)
Here you can specify whether you would like the colours in gold, silver or bronze – for a small surcharge – as metallic threads. These give patches a particularly elegant finish. We can also produce your patch with a special fastening. You can choose between an iron-on backing or a Velcro fastening. If no specific fastening is specified or requested in your order, we will produce your patches for sewing on as standard. Furthermore, two different base fabrics are available for your embroidered patch. The standard option is twill fabric (a special cotton blend), which will be used for your patch unless you select the felt backing option.
3. Specifying the desired order quantity
In the third step of the ordering process, you will need to specify the quantity you wish to order. Please note that the minimum order quantity for patches is 20.
4. Specifying optional requests
Please specify the font, embroidery thread and background colours in the file you upload. Please enter the colour codes (RAL, HKS or Pantone colours) in the message field. If no details are provided, our staff will select a suitable font, embroidery thread and background colours for you.
