Material
Polyester Twill
Its diagonally woven pattern not only gives it a distinctive look but also enhances its strength and opacity. This fabric choice is ideal for patches due to its robustness and ease of maintenance, ensuring that your custom patches remain vibrant and intact through wear and washing.
Felt
This non-woven textile is known for its soft texture and durability. While it is washable, maintaining the quality of felt requires gentle care, particularly ironing at low temperatures. Its adaptability makes felt a popular choice for a variety of patch designs, adding a distinct and tactile dimension to the final product.
Camouflage Twill
Camouflage Twill is an adaptation of the standard polyester twill, featuring a military-inspired camouflage pattern. This specialized fabric is an ideal choice for patches intended for military, army, airsoft, and tactical applications.
Premium Nylon
Our Premium Nylon is a high-quality fabric, favored for its smooth, silky texture and lustrous finish. It's a bit heavier than polyester, adding a touch of luxury and distinction. This material is typically used for patches designed for recognition and awards, where its premium feel and appearance effectively highlight achievements and honors.
Borders
Merrowed
Merrowed borders are characterized by their thick, interlocked stitching, giving patches a pronounced and classic edge. It is specifically suited for patches with standard, simpler shapes like circles, squares, and ovals.
Embroidered
This type of border, ideal for custom-shaped designs, can be further refined through hot cut or laser cut techniques for precision shaping. It's a versatile choice that adds a polished look to any patch design.
Frayed Edges
Frayed edges add a unique, raw look to patches, with loosely hanging threads for an edgy appeal.
Hot Cut
Hot Cut borders offer a sleek, clean-cut edge, shaped precisely with a hot knife for a defined look.
Laser Cut
Utilize Laser Cut for intricate designs, where a high-precision laser precisely shapes complex borders.
No Border
Choose No Border for a smooth, seamless integration of the patch with the fabric.
Threads
Extra Threads (More than 7)
Opt for Extra Threads to add more than 7 colors, enhancing the complexity and vibrancy of your design.
Puff
Puff stitching creates a raised 3D effect, adding depth and texture to specific areas of the patch.
