Patch Type
Whether you have a complex design that works best as a patch or need more detail than traditional embroidery can provide, we’ve got you covered. Explore our range of custom patch options, each designed for style, durability, and precision, to find the best fit for your brand.
Use the Patch Preview Tool below to discover which patch type can best bring your logo to life.
Embroidered Patch
Embroidered patches offer the classic look of direct embroidery with a clean, textured finish. Crafted with high-quality threads, they deliver a timeless style that works well for bold logos, simple artwork, and premium branded hats.
Print-Stitch Patch
Print-stitch patches combine full-colour printing with embroidered details, creating a layered look with both texture and visual impact. They are a great choice for designs that need vibrant colours, added depth, and more creative flexibility.
Sublimated Patch
Sublimated patches are ideal for detailed, full-colour artwork. Using dye-sublimation printing, they can reproduce gradients, fine details, and complex logos with sharp clarity, making them perfect for eye-catching custom hat designs.
Woven Patch
Woven patches provide a smooth, refined look with excellent detail. Made with fine woven threads rather than raised stitching, they are ideal for small text, intricate logos, and clean linework that embroidery may not capture as clearly.
Faux Leather Patch
Faux leather patches bring a modern, premium look to custom hats. Laser-engraved for crisp detail, they offer a stylish textured finish and are a great option for brands seeking a clean, elevated appearance.
Metflex Patch
Metflex patches deliver a sleek, modern finish with sharp edges and a bold visual effect. Lightweight and durable, they are ideal for clean logo applications and brands looking for a more contemporary patch style.
Chenille Patch
Chenille patches add a soft, raised texture that stands out on hats. With their classic varsity-inspired look and rich dimension, they are perfect for bold lettering, lifestyle branding, and designs that need a strong visual statement.
PVC/Rubber Patch
PVC patches are durable, flexible, and built for long-lasting performance. Their raised 3D effect and weather-resistant material make them ideal for outdoor, sport, and modern logo styles that need both function and visual impact.
What Is Custom Patch File Preparation?
Custom patch file preparation is the process of converting your graphic file into a production-ready format for patch making. During this process, the design is refined based on the patch style, size, color matching, border type, and detail level so the final patch looks clean, durable, and true to your artwork.
Patch Shape
The shape of your patch plays an important role in both style and application.
Choosing the right shape ensures better fit, cleaner edges, and a more premium look on hats.
Attachment Method
Choose the right method to apply your patch for the best look and durability on hats.
