Custom patches with your logo and branding

Great apparel ideas aren’t easy to imagine. Here are some creative ways you can use custom patches to make a big branding impact:

• Multi-technique combinations: Combine patches with direct embroidery, screen printing, or sublimation printing to enhance visual impact and premium appearance.
• Layered patch designs: Apply multiple patches in strategic arrangements to create complex branded compositions on jackets and bags.
• Interactive patch placement: Position patches on jacket flaps, pocket covers, or removable elements to create engaging brand experiences.
• Seasonal patch collections: Develop limited-edition patches for different seasons, events, or product launches for fun holiday gifts.
• Collaborative patch projects: Partner with local artists or designers to create unique co-branded patch designs that connect your brand to the community.
• Textured material combinations: Apply patches to unique materials, like cork, canvas, or technical fabrics, for unexpected brand presentations
• Glow-in-the-dark elements: Incorporate phosphorescent threads or materials into patches for nighttime visibility
• Vintage-inspired treatments: Use weathering techniques and distressed materials to create authentic, lived-in patch appearances.

Custom patches can look great no matter which industry you’re in, but edgy, rustic, industrial, and alternative brands work best.

Hospitality and entertainment

Restaurants, bars, and breweries use patches to create authentic brand communities. Customers often collect patches from favorite establishments, creating organic brand promotion when they display collections on jackets, bags, or bulletin boards. The casual, approachable nature of patches aligns with hospitality brand positioning.

Cannabis and wellness

Patches convey a craftsmanship and attention to detail that fit cannabis dispensaries and wellness brands. An artisanal appearance reinforces brand messages about quality and care in product development. Patches also provide discreet branding options for industries with advertising restrictions.

Technology and startups

Technology companies use patches to humanize their brands and create authentic connections with customers. The handcrafted appearance of patches adds warmth and personality to digital brand experiences, creating memorable physical touchpoints that strengthen brand relationships.

Outdoor and adventure brands

Outdoor companies prefer branded items that are durable and weather-resistant for job sites and field work. Professional patches maintain appearance through harsh conditions while providing clear brand identification for teams and equipment.

Corporate events and trade shows

Patches create memorable takeaways from trade shows that recipients are likely to use and display. Unlike typical corporate event giveaways, recipients can add patches to the items of their choice, fusing your brand with their style. Event-specific patches also create collectible series that encourage repeat attendance.

Custom patches deliver exceptional value for corporate gifting programs. Recipients view patches as premium accessories rather than typical corporate giveaways. The perceived value of patches exceeds their actual cost, making them powerful tools for building positive brand associations with clients or employees.

Try seasonal patch products that align with corporate events, sales performance, or career milestones. Limited-edition patches create an exclusivity that enhances appeal. Employee appreciation programs benefit from patches’ collectible nature, encouraging team engagement and brand loyalty through sample pack distributions and small quantities for testing campaigns.

Almost. Any item with material/​fabric compatibility can accept a patch. We can use adhesive attachment methods to add patches to water bottles, mugs, notebooks, or most other non-apparel items. We can customize all of our apparel and hats with patches. Contact us to learn more.

Embroidered patches use thread colors to create textured designs with a raised thread surface, while PVC patches use flexible rubber material for weather resistance and a smooth finish. Embroidered patches handle detailed logos and intricate designs, while PVC patches suit bold, simple designs.

Patch size, material, and location affect durability. Our high quality standards help our patches outlast the apparel you apply them to, so they can be attached again and again.
