Full-color, photorealistic printing on a flat patch — perfect for designs too detailed for thread.
Sublimated (printed) patches use dye-sublimation to print full-color, photorealistic designs directly onto fabric. There's no limit on color count or gradients, which makes this the best option for detailed artwork, photos, and designs too complex for thread.
Dye-sublimation, unlimited colors and gradients.
Flat, smooth surface with a soft fabric feel.
Iron-on, sew-on, or hook & loop.
Photorealistic designs, gradients, and complex artwork.
Photorealistic detail, complex graphics, and small text — ideal for designs not suited to embroidery.
Combines printing with embroidery or chenille, so complex artwork or small text comes through with full detail.
A heat-activated adhesive backing pressed on with a household iron — no sewing needed.
A plain fabric back stitched directly onto the garment for the most permanent hold.
A detachable backing that lets the same patch be swapped between garments or panels.
A peel-and-stick backing for quick, temporary application to hats, bags, or hard surfaces.
A rolled satin-stitch edge — the classic patch look, durable and clean-finished.
The patch is cut and sealed flush with no rolled edge, for a slim, modern profile.
Precision-cut edges that follow intricate shapes exactly, sealed to prevent fraying.
Effectively unlimited — dye-sublimation prints full-color gradients and photo-realistic detail with no per-color pricing jump.
