Trades & Contractors
PatchDesign.AI helps electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, roofers, landscapers, mechanics, carpenters, welders, and trade-shop owners design custom company patches for work shirts, jackets, hats, and uniforms. Describe your company name, trade, and any equipment or imagery you want featured ("hammer-and-wrench, lightning bolt for electrical, our truck silhouette") and the AI generates a clean trade patch in seconds.

Why trade shops use PatchDesign.AI
A trade-shop patch on a work shirt is the cheapest, most durable advertising you'll ever buy. It builds trust at the front door before the customer even sees your face, and it lasts the life of the shirt. But most patch shops want $200–500 in design fees up front for a small trade order, which kills the economics for a one-truck operation or a small crew that just wants their name on a uniform.
PatchDesign.AI removes the design fee completely. Describe the company and the trade, see a finished patch in seconds, refine in chat until it looks right on a work shirt, and our embroidery team handles production with a $50 order minimum. Most trade shops order 25–100 patches at a time — enough to outfit the crew and have spares for new hires.

When you're happy, our embroidery team reviews the design for production-readiness — thread colors, stitch density, border choice — and ships exactly what you approved. No surprises.
Frequently asked questions
What's the typical patch size for a work shirt?
3.5 inches for a chest patch is standard — readable from across a parking lot, fits cleanly above the pocket. Larger patches (4–5 inches) for the back of a jacket or hi-vis vest. The tool recommends a size based on your design.
Can I get matching patches for hats, jackets, AND shirts?
Yes. Most trade shops order one design and apply it to chest of work shirts, back of hats, and front of jackets. The tool's try-on view shows how the patch looks on each garment before you commit.
Do you offer iron-on or velcro backing?
All three: sew-on (most durable, recommended for daily-wear work shirts), iron-on (cheapest, fine for jackets), velcro (swappable — useful if crew members rotate roles).
How long until I get my patches?
About 10 business days from artwork approval, shipping free. Most trade shops order ahead of a busy season or new-hire onboarding so the patches are sitting on the shelf when needed.
Can you incorporate my company logo if I have one already?
Yes. Upload your logo (any common image format) when you start the chat and the AI builds the patch around it. If your logo is too detailed for embroidery at patch size, expert review will recommend a faithful simplification.
