Custom Patches for Aprons
Custom patch aprons for restaurants, cafes, makers and trades — embroidered patches on canvas and denim, sew-on or iron-on, no minimum, shipped in 10 business days.
An apron is the friendliest garment in this list to patch, because the fabric is doing you favours. Canvas, duck cotton and denim are heavy, stable and flat, which means a dense embroidered patch sits exactly where you put it and stays there. That opens up sizes other garments cannot carry: a chest patch of 4 to 5 inches reads well across a counter and still looks proportional on a full bib. The thing to plan around is not the fabric but the wash. Kitchen and workshop aprons are laundered hard and often, so sew-on backing outlasts iron-on by a wide margin, and a colour scheme with real contrast will still read after a year of hot cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size patch works on an apron?
A full bib apron carries a 4 to 5 inch chest patch comfortably, which is larger than most garments allow and is one of the reasons aprons are such a good surface for a logo. On a waist or half apron, drop to around 3 inches so the patch sits within the panel rather than running into a pocket seam.
Iron-on or sew-on for an apron?
Sew-on, in almost every case. Aprons are laundered hotter and more often than nearly anything else in a working wardrobe, and repeated high heat is exactly what loosens iron-on adhesive. On heavy canvas or duck cotton a sewn patch will outlast the apron. If you do use iron-on, plan on reinforcing the edges with a few stitches.
Will an embroidered patch work on heavy canvas?
Yes, and canvas is close to the ideal surface for one. The fabric has enough body to hold a dense patch completely flat without puckering, which is the failure mode on lighter material. You can use full embroidery coverage and a merrowed border without worrying about weight at all.
