Craftsmanship

The details that make a patch look finished.

A great patch is decided before the machine starts. We guide you from artwork to finished patch, making the calls that separate crisp embroidery from a fuzzy approximation of your logo.

  1. 01

    Design preparation

    Fine lines and gradients are translated into stitchable shapes, so your logo stays recognizable instead of muddy.

  2. 02

    Lettering size

    Small text is where patches fail. We size and weight letters so every name and tagline reads from across the room.

  3. 03

    Thread selection

    Thread colors are chosen against the twill background so contrast holds up in daylight, under shop lights, and in photos.

  4. 04

    Stitch coverage

    Full coverage gives a dense, textured surface; partial coverage lets the fabric show through. We recommend the right balance for the design.

  5. 05

    Edge finishing

    A tight merrowed border wraps simple shapes cleanly; a stitched edge follows more detailed contours. Either way, the edge is what makes a patch look finished.

Customization

Built around your design.

Each choice changes how the patch looks and how it performs. Bring your preferences, and we will talk through what suits your artwork and garment.

Size
Driven by placement and the smallest detail. A chest name patch and a jacket back patch are very different jobs.
Shape
Circles, ovals, rectangles, shields, and custom contours that follow your artwork.
Thread colors
Matched as closely as possible to your brand colors, with contrast checked for legibility.
Embroidery coverage
Full coverage for a rich, heavy feel or partial coverage for a lighter look that shows the twill.
Lettering
Font style, weight, and size chosen so names and slogans stay crisp when stitched.
Border
Merrowed edges for classic shapes or stitched borders for detailed outlines, in a color that frames the design.
Intended garment
Hats, work shirts, jackets, and bags each call for a different size, stiffness, and backing.

Choose your backing

Pick backing for the garment and how it will be used. Heat, washing, and whether the patch ever needs to come off all matter.

BackingBest forWhy choose it
Iron-onHeat-compatible fabrics such as cotton and denimQuick application with a household iron or heat press. Ideal when you want an easy, clean attachment without sewing.
Sew-onWorkwear, jackets, and garments washed oftenStitched attachment is the most permanent option and works on fabrics that cannot take heat.
Hook-and-loopUniforms, tactical gear, bags, and shared equipmentRemovable and swappable. Often called Velcro, it lets names and patches move between garments.

Custom logo patches

Embroidered logo patches put your business on hats, jackets, and bags without stitching directly into each garment. They are a smart fit for stiff outerwear, structured caps, and gear you want branded consistently. Custom logo patches for hats are typically compact and shaped to the crown.

Custom name patches

Embroidered name patches help customers know who they are talking to. Send a name list and we will keep size, font, and color identical across the crew, so new hires match the people who started years ago.

Custom uniform patches

Work shirt patches for service crews, team patches for school and sports groups, and patches for fire and EMS organizations. We stitch to your approved design; we do not imply any agency endorsement or official approval.

Pricing and quantities

How Much Do Custom Embroidered Patches Cost?

Every quote is built from a few factors: patch size, quantity, stitch coverage, design complexity, backing, and delivery needs. A small, simple name patch and a large, fully stitched jacket patch are priced very differently, and a firm deadline can change the plan too.

We take on small projects, like a handful of patches for a new crew, and larger organizational orders for teams, departments, and multi-location businesses. Tell us what you need, and we will give you a clear, specific quote.

FAQ

Your patch questions, answered.

Still unsure? Call 757-214-8404 or request a quote and ask us directly.

How do I order custom embroidered patches?

Start with a quote request. Send your artwork or idea, the size you have in mind, your quantity, backing preference, and when you need the patches. We reply with pricing and design guidance, prepare a proof for your approval, then produce and ship your order or arrange pickup at our Norfolk shop.

Can you turn my logo into a patch?

Yes. We prepare your logo for embroidery, which often means simplifying hairline details, thickening small text, and choosing thread colors that read clearly at patch size. You see a proof before anything is stitched.

Can you help with my design?

Yes, design assistance is free. If you only have a sketch, a photo of an old patch, or a rough idea, send it over and we will help shape it into a clean, stitchable design.

Can I order custom name patches for uniforms?

Yes. Send a list of names along with your preferred size, fabric color, thread color, border, and backing. Name patches work well for work shirts, coveralls, and jackets, and we can match one style across an entire team.

Which backing should I choose?

Choose iron-on for heat-compatible fabrics where you want simple application, sew-on for the most permanent attachment on workwear and jackets, and hook-and-loop (often called Velcro) when patches need to be swapped or removed. Tell us the garment and how it will be worn and washed, and we will recommend an option.

Can I get patches for hats and work shirts?

Yes. Hat patches are usually smaller and shaped to sit cleanly on a crown, while work shirt patches are commonly rectangles or ovals sized for the chest. Tell us the garments you are using so we can size and finish the patch to suit them.

How much do custom embroidered patches cost?

Pricing depends on size, quantity, stitch coverage, design complexity, backing, and delivery needs. Because those factors vary from project to project, we quote each order individually. A quote request is the fastest way to get an accurate number.

What quantities can I order?

We handle small projects and larger organizational orders. Share the quantity you need, even an estimate, and we will confirm what works for your design and timeline in your quote.

Do you offer same-day options?

Same-day options are available for some projects. Whether your order qualifies depends on the design, quantity, and current production schedule, so contact us as early as possible with your artwork and deadline.

Is overnight shipping available?

Yes. Overnight shipping is available once your patches are finished. Overnight shipping refers to transit time after production, not overnight manufacturing. Share your destination ZIP code and required arrival date so we can plan both.

Do you ship throughout the United States?

Yes. We ship custom embroidered patches to customers throughout the United States.

Can I work with your Norfolk shop?

Yes. Our shop is at 895 Poplar Hall Drive in Norfolk. Local customers from Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and across Hampton Roads can talk through a project with us and arrange local pickup.

What artwork should I provide?

Vector files such as AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG are ideal. A high-resolution PNG or JPG also works, and a clear photo or sketch is enough to begin a design conversation. Include any brand colors you need us to match.

How do I choose the right patch size?

Start with where the patch will go and the smallest text it must carry. Measure the space on the garment, then make sure lettering stays large enough to read when stitched. We will suggest a size that balances detail with placement.
