Trade tips

  • Waterproof delivery bags are nylon or woven PP: print bold colours, no fine detail.
  • Small accessories (keyrings, leather patches) should carry only the logo.
  • Stretch and dark fabrics change how a print looks: always make one sample first.
  • Unlaminated paper keeps its natural feel but scuffs easily: fine for short-lived packs.

Construction

An embroidered patch is a base fabric (polyester or cotton twill) fully covered in stitching, then cut to shape and edged with a rolled merrow border for rounds and rounded rectangles; complex shapes are hot-cut and overlocked. The back can be iron-on adhesive, hook-and-loop, or plain for sewing. Thickness is usually 2–3 mm, depending on stitch density.

Choosing board and material

Polyester twill is stable and doesn't stretch under the needle, making it the best base for full coverage; rayon thread has the best sheen, polyester thread is more colourfast and bleach-proof. Iron-on adhesive bonds well to cotton, drill and denim; for nylon, waterproof fabrics, backpacks and caps, sew or use hook-and-loop because heat can damage them. Uniforms washed often should have patches sewn round the edge, not glued only.

Finishing

100% coverage gives even colour; 50–75% lets the twill show for a lighter, thinner patch. Metallic thread, 3D puff embroidery for big letters, or a screen-printed overlay for details too small to stitch are options. Merrow borders only suit simple shapes; detailed outlines get a hot-cut edge.

Preparing the print file

Send vector art at actual size with thread colour codes (usually around 6–12 colours max); minimum type about 4–5 mm tall, and strokes under 1 mm disappear. Keep 3–4 mm round the edge for the merrow border, free of type and detail. Gradients can't be stitched; convert them to flat colour areas.

Common mistakes

  • Designs with gradients, shadows or photos: embroidery can't render them; switch to flat colour.
  • Tiny type on a 60–80 mm patch: the stitches close up and letters become smudges.
  • Detail right at the edge: the merrow border swallows text and outlines.
  • Iron-on backing for nylon backpacks or puffers: the fabric melts or the patch lifts after a few washes.

Questions and answers

How is text placed on an Ø80 mm round patch?

Text usually curves along the circle inside the merrow, 4–5 mm from the edge, with the emblem centred; letters 5 mm tall or more. A round badge style suits uniforms and clubs.

Can a round patch go on a cap?

Yes, 50–60 mm suits a cap front; structured caps are sewn or glued with special adhesive, rarely ironed since they can't be pressed flat.

Are iron-on embroidered patches durable?

They hold well on cotton, drill and denim with enough heat and pressure; for items washed often, add a line of stitching round the edge.

Embroidered or woven patch — what's the difference?

Embroidered patches are thick and textured with raised thread; woven patches are thin and flat and render fine detail and small type better.

Is there a colour limit on embroidered patches?

Yes, each colour is a thread cone, so usually under about 12; fewer colours look cleaner.
