Looking for a custom patch design with small text, detailed imagery, or the true likeness of a photograph? Want to customize clothing with vibrant designs that last? Our sublimated patches are printed onto the material. FYI: we call them heat transfers!
Easily apply vibrant, long-lasting designs to clothing, bags, and more. Perfect for customizing with your personal or business branding.
Provide your own artwork, sketch or describe your basic design. Have an idea but no sketch? Don't worry, our graphic designers can help!
We'll let you know if your artwork requires adjustments. Or, we'll provide a design proof of your design to ensure your complete satisfaction.
After a design has been approved, we'll continue with a sample. Your patches will be delivered 2-3 weeks after final approval.
Your design will be sublimated onto a shiny satin fabric (or twill) using heat and pressure. The fabric absorbs the pigmented ink from the transfer process, resulting in a vividly coloured patch. These effect looks spectacular with either a simple detail or a re-creation of a complex photograph. We've provided an image below to help illustrate the sizing of a Heat Transfer patch. The heat transfer example shown has a laser-cut, stitched border.
When placing your order, please indicate the width of the heat transfer you want.
To determine the overall heat transfer area, add the width and height, then divide the total by 2. For example, 4.5" wide x 1.5" high equals 6", and dividing by 2 gives 3" for the overall size.
High-quality materials ensure your design stays sharp and colourful wash after wash.
Choose from a variety of backings, from sticky to iron-on to nothing at all. We have options and will gladly suggest options based on how you will use the patch.
Perfect for T-shirts, bags, hats, and more.

Choose from two different types of borders, thick and rich with threads. Our merrow border is most commonly found on adult and child merit badges. If you want a custom shape or are just looking for a cleaner edge, opt for the laser-cut border. We love this option for our in-stock patches!
The sleekest option of all is laser cut with no border. The flat patches are available for you as a choice in production. Let us know how you are using your awesome idea and we will help you pick the best border option.
Helpful Tips: Merrow borders are a thick stitch applied to the edge after embroidery and cutting, providing a finished trim and bulkier edge. It also makes it easier to hand sew. Laser-cut borders are cut to shape and are perfect for custom shapes.
