Choose your embroidered patch style
A smooth, even finish that suits small lettering, thin lines and designs with several colours. It usually costs less than puff.
Foam under the stitching raises bold logos, short words and larger lettering. It suits caps and jackets. Puff usually costs more than flat embroidery.
Not sure which suits your design? Send your artwork and we will advise before you approve the proof.
Need a different look? See our chenille patches for soft varsity style lettering or our PVC patches for waterproof rubber badges.
Made to your design
Every patch is built around your own artwork, size, shape and colours. Use it for:
- logos and crests
- names and job roles
- club and team badges
- short slogans and lettering
Embroidery works best with solid shapes, clear outlines and a limited number of colours. As a general guide, lettering under about 5 mm tall can lose legibility, and photographs or gradients do not translate well into thread. You can check every detail on your proof.
For rough sizing, caps suit about 5 to 7 cm, chest or sleeve patches 7 to 10 cm, jackets and vests 8 to 12 cm and large back designs 20 to 30 cm. These are starting points, not fixed specifications.
Backing options
Iron-on. Quick to apply with a household iron or heat press. Best on cotton and denim. See stitchpatches.co.uk iron-on patches.
Sew-on. The most durable choice for items that are washed often, such as workwear and team kit. See our sew-on patches.
Velcro. Lets you remove or swap patches. The garment needs a matching loop panel.

2D vs 3D Embroidered Patches
3D Embroidered Patches
Appearance: 3D embroidered patches feature raised lettering and designs created using a foam layer beneath the stitching.
Texture: The raised embroidery gives the patch a thicker, textured finish that stands out from the fabric.
Best For: 3D patches work best with bold logos, larger lettering and simple shapes. Small text and intricate details may be harder to reproduce.
Price: 3D patches usually cost more than 2D patches because they require additional materials and production steps.
2D Embroidered Patches
Appearance: 2D embroidered patches have a flat, classic finish, with thread stitched directly onto the fabric base.
Texture: The surface is relatively flat, with the texture of the embroidered thread.
Best For: 2D patches suit logos, lettering, detailed designs and artwork with multiple colours.
Price: 2D patches are often more affordable than 3D patches because they do not require foam for raised embroidery.

Embroidered patches FAQs
Send your artwork, preferred size, quantity and backing through our quote form. We quote against your design because size, detail and quantity all affect the price.
Yes. We prepare a digital proof for you to review. You can ask for changes, and the approved design is what goes into production.
Timing depends on design approval, quantity, patch style and delivery location. If you have a deadline, mention it in your quote request and ask for a delivery estimate before you approve the design.
Yes, but very small lettering can be hard to read in thread. Plain fonts and larger patches help. If your design depends on fine detail, a woven or printed patch may suit it better.
Generally yes. Follow the garment care label, wash inside out on a cool, gentle cycle and avoid tumble drying where you can. For garments washed often, sew the patch on.

Custom embroidered patches are typically made by stitching coloured polyester or rayon threads onto a fabric base, such as twill. The backing depends on how you plan to attach the patch: iron-on adhesive for heat application, a plain backing for sewing, or hook-and-loop material for removable use. The edges can be finished with an overlocked border or precision-cut to suit the design. Material and finishing options may vary depending on the patch style.
