Embroidered Patches are thicker than woven patches and used for
bolder designs.
Embroidered patches are made with twill fabric and polyester
threads. These can be manufactured in any shape or size needed. In
order for the letters to be legible the size of letters should be
at least 3/*6 high on twill background, or 1/4 high on heavier
fabric background or stitched background.
We provide embroidered patches which are durable and fashionable.
These washable items can be stitched or sticked on garment.These
embroidered patches give garments or products a unique style that
separates items from the ordinary.
Border Options
There are three types of borders for embroidered patches. Merrow
border is a 1/8 border that over-locks the edge of the patch to
give it a nice raised edge. Only patches with regular shapes or
slightly irregular shapes with smooth angles can be
merrowed.
Die-cut patches dont have an over-locking border. The background
material shows on the edges no matter if there is a stitched border
or not. The shapes of these emblems can be regular or slightly
irregular.
Hot-cut is the best choice for patches with irregular shapes. The
fabric of the edge is completely trimmed off so that it will never
fray. Heat-cut embroidery with heat seal backing are great
alternative for direct embroidery.
Material Options
Embroidered patches are usually made with twill fabric and
polyester threads. We are all about customization so we provide
several other options of fabrics that can be embroidered on. These
include: reflective material, neon twill, felt, imitation leather,
and suede. Thread colors are chosen from Pantone
colors.
Backing Options
There are several ways to attach labels to your product. Heat seal,
iron on, pressure sensitive, magnet, pellon, plastic, and Velcro
backing. Below is listed in detail what these options are best used
for. Patches can also be sewn on. Our company does not attach the
labels but we can help you find somewhere local to your area who
does.
Here are descriptions of the different backing options. Please let
us know if you have any questions and we will walk you through the
process to get the best possible option for your
product.
Backing Option Descriptions
Plastic is a clear film that is applied to the back of the patch to
make it stiffer and seal in the threads.
Pellon is a white opaque material that covers the back to seal in
the threads and make the emblems slightly stiff.
Heat Seal is a material on the back of the patch that is then able
to be ironed on to another surface.
Pressure Sensitive Backing is a sticker that can be a
semi-permanent or temporary.
Velcro backing is easily applied and detached from garments or
displays.
Magnet will cover the back of the patch that can be attached to any
surface that contains metal.
