Can You Get Custom Patches?

Short answer: absolutely. If you want a small-but-mighty way to brand your team, elevate uniforms, or add personality to bags and jackets, custom patches are the perfect move. And yes—you can get them made precisely the way you imagined, from the stitching style to the backing, shape, and finish. At Craft Clothing, we treat every patch like a tiny canvas for big ideas, crafted to last and designed to impress.

Why choose custom patches?

• They’re versatile. Add them to polos, jackets, aprons, caps, bags, and more—great for offices, schools, restaurants, clubs, and event merch.

• They’re durable. Embroidered patch designs keep their shape and color through routine wear and wash—no fading logos or peeling prints.

• They’re brand-right. Clean borders, crisp lettering, and consistent color matching help your team look unified and professional.

What kinds of patches can I get?

Our specialty is embroidered patches—that classic, textured look you see on varsity jackets, caps, and uniforms. Embroidery shines for logos, badges, and small text because stitches render details with a premium, long-wearing finish. For thicker garments (like varsity jackets or bags), embroidery also sits beautifully and ages even better.

If your artwork needs ultra-fine lines or tiny gradients, talk to us—we’ll guide you on the best execution so your design stays sharp in real life, not just on screen. Sometimes that means a simplified stitch plan or combining methods in smart ways so your patch looks great and lasts.

Backing options that fit how you’ll use them

• Sew-on: The most permanent, flexible option for uniforms and heavy-use items.

• Iron-on (heat-apply): Quick application for cottons and blends—great for teams and events.

• Velcro®/hook-and-loop: Swap roles, ranks, or departments in seconds (popular for field or rotating teams).

Not sure which to choose? Share where the patch will live (cap, apron, jacket, bag) and how often it’ll be washed—we’ll recommend the best backing and border (merrowed vs. laser-cut) for a clean, professional edge.

How to design a patch that pops

• Prioritize contrast. High contrast between foreground and background keeps logos readable at a glance.

• Simplify small details. Tiny serifs and hairline strokes can get lost in thread—opt for bolder lines for pocket-size pieces.

• Mind the scale. Measure the space (chest, sleeve, cap front, bag panel) and choose a size that balances with seams and curves.

• Choose purposeful colors. Tie back to your brand palette or uniform tones so the patch looks intentional, not “stuck on.”

Where patches work best

• Corporate & office wear: Polos and jackets with department or anniversary patches.

• Hospitality & F&B: Aprons and caps with logo patches for a polished, consistent front-of-house look.

• Schools & teams: Varsity jackets, team bags, and caps with letter or mascot patches.

• Giveaways & merch: Tote bags, pouches, and backpacks—patches turn everyday carry into brand touchpoints.

The Craft Clothing process (easy as 1-2-3)

1. Send your idea. A sketch, a logo, or brand guide is enough—we’ll take it from there.

2. Get a free mockup. We’ll prepare a digital proof and advise on size, stitch count, backing, and borders.

3. Approve & produce. Once you’re happy, we sample (when needed) and proceed to production with meticulous QA so your patches arrive consistent and ready to apply.

Care & application tips

• Iron-on: Use a household iron on medium–high heat with a press cloth; apply firm pressure for 15–20 seconds per area. Repeat on the reverse if the fabric allows.

• Sew-on: A simple running stitch around the edge (plus a few tacks in the middle for larger patches) keeps edges flat through washes.

• Wash care: Turn garments inside out, cold-wash gentle, and line-dry when possible to maintain patch structure and color.
