Custom Patches for Sashes
Custom patch sashes for troops, packs and award programmes — small embroidered badges sized to sit in rows, sew-on or iron-on, no minimum, shipped in 10 business days.
A sash is unlike every other garment here because the patch is never alone. It sits in a row with a dozen others earned over years, so the design question is not how good it looks by itself but whether it belongs beside the ones already there. That argues for restraint. Most sash badges run small, between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and the ones that age well use a simple shape, two or three colours, and type large enough to read without leaning in. Round and shield shapes tile into rows more neatly than irregular outlines. Programme patches are also worn for years rather than a season, so embroidered construction with a merrowed border is the standard: it survives being handled, sewn, unpicked and moved to a new sash as a member grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a sash patch be?
Between 1.5 and 2.5 inches for most programmes. Badges on a sash are read as a set rather than one at a time, so a patch much larger than its neighbours breaks the row and tends to look like a mistake even when the design is good. If you are adding to an existing sash, measure a badge already on it and match that.
Should sash badges be sewn or ironed on?
Sewn, if the sash is going to be worn for years. Beyond durability, stitching is reversible: badges regularly need to move to a larger sash as a member grows, and a sewn patch can be unpicked and repositioned where an ironed one usually cannot be removed cleanly. Iron-on is a reasonable shortcut when a whole group needs badges attached before an event.
Can we order a small batch for one group?
Yes. Minimums start well below the hundred-piece floor most suppliers quote, and every order includes a pre-production sample so you can see a real stitched badge before the rest of the run is made. For a single badge before you commit at all, we make and mail one patch for $60 with $30 credited back against a later run.
