Detail hierarchy: Printed reproduces the most fidelity → Embroidered & Woven next → PVC 3D & Chenille simplify the most.

Custom Embroidered Patches — same design, rendered in embroidered patches

The Classic Choice

Embroidered Patches

100% embroidered patches with visible thread texture, merrowed border, and up to 10 colors. The most popular type for uniforms, sports, and events.

Custom PVC / Rubber Patches — same design, rendered in pvc / rubber patches

Waterproof Patches

PVC / Rubber Patches

PVC rubber patches in flat 2D or raised 3D designs. Waterproof, durable, and bold. Perfect for tactical gear, outdoor use, and modern style.

Custom Woven Patches — same design, rendered in woven patches

Woven Patches

Woven patches have a finer thread count than embroidered, allowing for more detailed designs, smaller text, and a flatter profile.

Custom Chenille Patches — same design, rendered in chenille patches

Chenille Patches

Chenille patches use thick, fluffy yarn for a dimensional, textured look — the classic varsity jacket patch style.

Custom Printed / Sublimated Patches — same design, rendered in printed / sublimated patches

Photo-Quality Detail

Printed / Sublimated Patches

Dye-sublimation printed patches with unlimited colors, photographic detail, and smooth gradients embroidery cannot reproduce. Perfect for logos with brand gradients, photo-realistic artwork, intricate illustrations, and any design with more than 9 colors.

Which Type Should I Pick?

Quick guide to matching the material to your design and use case.

If: You want the classic patch look with thread texture

The default for uniforms, scouting, and team patches. Most universally recognized.

Pick Embroidered →

If: Your design has gradients, photos, or more than 9 colors

Embroidery caps at 9 colors and can't do gradients. Sublimation is unlimited colors and photo-quality.

Pick Printed / Sublimated →

If: You need waterproof, weather-resistant patches for outdoor / tactical use

Embroidery thread fades and frays outdoors. PVC rubber survives anything.

If: You have small text or fine detail that embroidery would smudge

Higher thread count than embroidery — preserves typography and thin lines at small sizes.

If: You're making varsity letters or letterman jackets

Iconic plush varsity texture. Nothing else looks right on a letterman jacket.

Pick Chenille →
