Questions about custom patch FAQ
What is the difference between chenille and embroidered patches?
Chenille patches use raised yarn for a soft fuzzy texture. Embroidered patches use thread stitching for flatter, more detailed artwork.
Which patch type is best for varsity jackets?
Chenille is the classic choice for varsity letters and mascots. Embroidery can be added for outlines, small text and detailed facial features.
Which patch type is best for uniforms?
Embroidered patches are usually best for uniforms because they can show sharper details, small text and badge-style artwork.
Can you make a chenille and embroidery combination patch?
Yes. Combination patches are useful when a design needs raised chenille texture plus cleaner embroidered detail.
Can I order patches for hats?
Yes. Smaller embroidered patches usually work best for hats, but small chenille patches can also be used for certain designs.
Can I get a digital proof before production?
Yes. A digital proof is prepared so you can review shape, text, layout and color placement before production starts.
What artwork files can I send?
You can send a logo, sketch, vector file, PNG, JPG or a written idea. Clear vector artwork is best, but the team can review rough artwork and prepare a digital proof before production.
Can I choose iron-on or sew-on backing?
Yes. Common backing options include sew-on, iron-on heat seal, hook-and-loop, peel-and-stick and plain backing. The best option depends on the fabric, patch size and final use.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. Orders are produced in China and can be shipped globally. Shipping time depends on destination, order size and courier service.
Can I see a proof before production?
Yes. A digital proof is prepared before production so size, shape, colors and details can be checked.
