EMBROIDERY PATCHES
The most popular type of custom patches on the market today are embroidered patches. Embroidered patches are one of the cheaper but cooler and more effective ways to customize your outerwear and accessories.
This patch has a twill base and it will be embroidered with a thread on the design or name, giving the product an elevated look.

CHENNILE PATCHES
Chenille patches are often used on varsity jackets and sweaters, often known as Letterman Patches. There are usually two layers of chenille patches a bottom felt and a top that looks ' furry ' like a terry cloth robe.
BEST FOR: High school uniforms, quick designs, jackets designs
PRINTED PATCHES
Printed patches include printing on a blank piece of twill fabric a photograph design, or text. Ink is used to bind the logo into the fabric using a dye sublimation process.
Printed patches are completely washable, dry cleanable.
BEST FOR: Budget patches, giveaways, photo-realistic designs
BULLION PATCHES
Bullion patches are made by skilled craftsmen. When integrating embroidery, they are thicker and more durable than embroidered patches, using materials such as yarn, beads, silk, felt, and metal threads.
BEST FOR: Club membership, brand programs, elite clubs, military uniforms
WOVEN PATCHES
Woven patches use finer threads that are woven together rather than embroidered onto a fabric, making them ideal when a pattern is too intricate or complicated to accomplish with the embroidery process.
Woven patches are made entirely of thread stitched in a continuous pattern. Woven patches in both nature and text achieve finer detail. This form of patch has a smooth, texture-free appearance.
BEST FOR: Sports and work uniforms, giveaways, lettering-heavy, short deadlines
NAME PATCHES
Name patches are often used on work shirts or other applications where professional recognition is the showing of a name. These can be ordered as blank patches and completed and ready for final application can be embroidered locally or shipped.
