Starting at $0.70 per piece, depending on size, colors, and options. Your exact price appears as you build your order.

What Is a Custom Embroidered Patch?

A custom embroidered patch is a piece of fabric with your design stitched into it using colored thread. Embroidery gives the design a textured, woven look that holds up to washing and daily wear. Teams, clubs, brands, schools, and military units use embroidered patches on jackets, hats, bags, uniforms, and workwear.

Pick Your Patch Options

Each option changes how the patch looks, feels, and attaches. Choose the combination that fits your use.

Embroidery coverage. Choose 50%, 75%, or 100% embroidered. Lower coverage shows more of the base fabric and can cost less. Full 100% coverage gives a solid, dense look for logos with large color areas.

Number of colors. Pick 1 to 9 colors, 10 colors, or 11 to 12 colors. Fewer colors keep the design simple and are a good fit for single-logo jobs. More colors suit detailed artwork with many shades.

Shape. Choose from circle, square, horizontal and vertical oval, horizontal and vertical rectangle, diamond, shield (three styles), top rocker, bottom rocker, and several custom shapes. Rocker shapes are common for military and unit patches.

Size. Sizes run from 2 inches (50.8 mm) to 12 inches (304.8 mm), in one-inch steps. A 2 to 3 inch patch suits hats and sleeves. A 4 to 6 inch patch works for chest and back placement. Patches 7 inches and above suit large back designs.

Border. Choose one of three finishes:

• Merrow border: A tight, rounded edge stitched around the outline. It is the classic look for embroidered patches and gives the cleanest finish on most designs.
• Heat cut border: The edge is cut with heat, which seals the fabric. Works well with simple shapes and iron-on backing.
• Laser cut border: The edge is cut by laser for precise outlines. Suits detailed shapes and fine edges.

Backing. Pick the attachment that matches how you will use the patch:

• Sew-on (no backing): Stitch the patch onto the item by hand or machine. Best for jackets, uniforms, and bags you want to keep long term.
• Iron-on: Apply heat to bond the patch to the fabric. Quick and good for hats, shirts, and bags.
• 3M self-adhesive: Peel and stick onto a smooth surface. Good for hard-shell gear and bags, not fabric you wash often.
• Plastic: A hard-back option for display and specific applications.
• Velcro hook or loop: Lets you swap patches on a hook-and-loop base.
• Double Velcro: Hook on both sides for patches that need to be secured on both sides.
• Safety pin: Clip on and remove without sewing. Useful for temporary wear and events.

If you are not sure, start with sew-on for uniforms and jackets, and iron-on for hats and casual wear.

How Our Embroidered Patches Compare

Choosing a patch type depends on how much detail you need, how the patch will be worn, and your budget.

Embroidered vs woven. Embroidered patches have a raised, thread-based texture and are strong for logos with solid color areas. Woven patches have a flatter, finer finish and suit small text and detailed lines. Our [woven patches] are a good choice for fine detail.

Flat vs 3D embroidered. Flat embroidery sits close to the fabric. Our [3D embroidered patches] add a raised, puffy effect for a bolder look.

Embroidered vs PVC. Embroidered patches feel like fabric and suit clothing. [PVC patches] are rubber-like, waterproof, and used for gear and outdoor use.

Common Uses for Custom Embroidered Patches

• Uniforms and workwear: Name tags, crew logos, and department patches.
• Sports teams and clubs: Jerseys, jackets, bags, and team caps.
• Military and veteran units: Unit crests and rocker patches (follow your unit's approved design rules).
• Schools and events: Spirit patches, class designs, and event merch.
• Brands and businesses: Logo patches for staff, customers, and product packaging.
• Personal projects: Jackets, backpacks, hats, and gifts.

Custom Woven Patches: Sharp Detail, Flat Finish, Made to Order

Woven patches use fine thread woven tightly together, so small text and thin lines stay crisp on a smooth, low-profile patch. They suit brands, uniforms, hats and bags where clean lines matter more than texture. Build yours in the designer below: choose colors, shape, border, size and backing, upload your artwork and order online from 10 pieces.

Woven vs. Embroidered Patches: Which Should You Choose?

Choose woven if your artwork has small lettering, thin lines or fine color detail. Choose embroidered patches if you want a raised, textured look with bold shapes.

Woven patches are made from fine thread woven into a flat surface. Embroidered patches stitch thicker thread onto a fabric base, which adds texture and body but limits how small the detail can be. Not sure which suits your design? Upload your artwork and tell us in the comments box what look you want. For a raised, dimensional finish, see our 3D Embroidered Patches. For rubber-like patches that handle outdoor use, see PVC Patches.

Every woven patch is made to order, so you set each detail.

Shapes. Pick from 15 options, including circle, square, horizontal and vertical rectangles and ovals, diamond, top and bottom rockers, four shield styles and two custom shapes.

Sizes. Choose from 2" to 7" in 1" steps: 2", 3", 4", 5", 6" or 7".

Backing. Sew-on (no backing), iron-on, Velcro hook, Velcro loop, double Velcro, 3M self-adhesive or safety pin.

FAQs

What is a woven patch?

A woven patch is a fabric badge made by weaving fine thread into a flat design instead of stitching it on top of a base. The thinner thread lets small text, thin lines and detailed artwork stay readable. The result is smooth and low-profile, which makes woven patches a good fit for hats, uniforms, bags and brand labels.

What is the difference between woven and embroidered patches?

Woven patches use thinner thread woven into a flat surface, so they hold fine detail and small lettering. Embroidered patches stitch thicker thread onto a fabric base, which gives a raised, textured look but less precision. Choose woven for detailed logos and a flat finish. Choose embroidered for bold designs and a classic textured feel.

Are woven patches good for hats?

Yes. The flat, low-profile finish sits close to the fabric, and small lettering stays readable at hat-patch sizes. Our smallest size in the designer is 2" × 2". You can add iron-on, sew-on, Velcro or adhesive backing. If you need something smaller than 2", message us on WhatsApp before you order and we will tell you what is possible.

What is the minimum order for custom woven patches?

The minimum order is 10 pieces, and you can order up to 100,000. Enter your quantity in step 1 of the designer and the order summary updates as you choose options. Pricing tiers for your selected size appear after you pick a size, so you can see how the per-piece price changes at higher quantities.

How long do custom woven patches take?

Standard turnaround shows 7 business days for production plus 3 business days for shipping. Two slower options trade time for a discount: 10% off at 20 business days of production, and 20% off at 25 business days, or 40 business days by sea. Choose your turnaround in step 8 of the designer.

How much do custom woven patches cost?

Price depends on size, quantity, backing and border. The designer shows a unit price from per piece and updates your total as you choose each option. Larger quantities can lower the per-piece price, and the tier table appears once you select a size. Setup fee.

What backing options are available for woven patches?

You can choose from seven backings: sew-on (no backing), iron-on, Velcro hook, Velcro loop, double Velcro, 3M self-adhesive and safety pin. Sew-on suits permanent attachment. Iron-on is quick for hats and bags. Velcro lets you move a patch between garments. Pick your backing in step 6.

What file formats can I upload for woven patch artwork?

Upload JPG, PNG, PDF, AI or PSD files up to 10 MB in step 7, or tick the box to email your file to support later. Vector files such as AI or PDF usually give the cleanest result. Our Artwork Policy explains what we can and cannot reproduce, so read it before you submit your design.

What is a 3D embroidered patch?

A 3D embroidered patch, often called a puff patch, is an embroidered patch built over foam. The machine stitches dense satin stitches across the foam, which hides it completely and pushes the design upward. The result is a bold, sculpted look you can see and feel, while the surrounding details stay flat.

That raised effect is why 3D patches are popular on caps, outerwear and retail apparel. They read as premium from across a room, and they photograph well because the stitching throws small shadows that flat embroidery can't.

Why choose EP-CF for custom 3D embroidered patches

• Low starting quantity. Order from 10 pieces, so you can test a design before committing to a team or retail run.
• You control every detail. Thirteen shapes, six sizes, three border styles and eight backings, all chosen on one page.
• Clear pricing before you commit. Pick a size and the page shows quantity pricing tiers, and your order summary updates with each choice.
• Flexible artwork. Upload JPG, PNG, PDF, AI or PSD files, or choose to email your file to support later.
• Choose your speed. Standard turnaround ships quickly, and you can pick a longer production window for a discount.
• Made to order. Every patch is produced for your design, not pulled from stock.

Best designs for 3D puff

Foam rewards simple, confident artwork. Use these guidelines when you prepare your file.

Works well

• Bold block letters and short words (team names, brand names, initials)
• Thick shapes, icons and badges with clear outlines
• A raised focal point with flat detail around it

Needs a rethink

• Hairline strokes and thin script fonts, which can't hold foam
• Very small text, which tends to fill in
• Fine gradients and photo-like detail (a flat embroidered patch handles these better)

If you are unsure, upload your artwork and describe your concerns in the comments box, or send an inquiry from the order summary.

Choosing your size, shape and border

Size. As a starting point, 2"–3" suits caps, beanies and chest logos. 4"–5" works on bags and jacket sleeves. 6"–7" gives you a statement piece for jacket backs.

Product Description:

When your design includes gradients, fine details, or vibrant colors that embroidery can't fully reproduce, our Full Color Flex Patches provide the perfect solution. Using advanced dye-sublimation printing, your artwork is transferred onto premium flexible fabric to deliver sharp lines, photorealistic detail, and rich, fade-resistant colors.

Every patch is produced for long-lasting performance with a lightweight, flexible finish that stands up to everyday wear. Choose from iron-on, sew-on, or hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing to suit uniforms, jackets, hats, backpacks, workwear, sports apparel, and promotional merchandise.

There's no minimum order and no setup fees, with fast production and shipping to the USA, UK and Australia.

Product Description:

Not every logo needs a full spectrum of color to make an impact. One Color Flex Patches use a single, high-contrast tone for a bold, no-nonsense look - the go-to choice for tactical gear, subdued military-style patches, and minimalist brand logos that rely on shape and contrast rather than color.

Like our Full Color Flex Patches, these are made from durable, flexible fabric that resists cracking and fading, with your choice of iron-on, sew-on, or hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing.

No minimum order, no setup fees, and fast shipping to the USA, Australia, and UK.

Product Description:

There's nothing quite like a Sequin Patch. Flip the sequins one way and you get a solid burst of color; swipe the other way and the whole design shifts - an interactive, endlessly touchable effect that flat printed or embroidered patches simply can't replicate. Prefer a steady shimmer instead of the color-change trick? We also offer flat sequins for a consistent sparkly finish.

Each patch is fully customizable - choose your shape, size, colors and backing (iron-on, sew-on, or Velcro) to fit hats, jackets, bags, dance costumes, or cheer uniforms. Sequin patches are especially popular for kids' apparel, dance and cheer team merch, and fashion accessories where shine and interactivity are the whole point.

Tatami Fabric Flock Patches - Soft, Velvety 3D Texture

Product Description:

Denim patches bring a rugged, vintage-inspired edge to jackets, jeans, vests and bags. Cut from genuine denim fabric with a durable, textured finish, they're built to blend naturally with worn-in denim while adding a personal touch - whether you're covering a repair, branding a jacket, or building out a full vintage-style collection.

Every patch is fully customizable, with iron-on, sew-on or Velcro backing available to match how you'll use it. They're a natural fit for jean jackets, denim vests, jeans, and canvas bags - anywhere a rugged, lived-in look works better than a polished finish.
