Why Choose Sublimated Patches?

Unlike embroidered or woven patches that rely on thread for color and texture, sublimated patches are digitally printed directly onto the fabric. This allows for an unlimited color range, sharp lines, and smooth shading — ideal for logos, photographs, or complex gradient designs that are impossible to recreate with traditional stitching.
Here’s why brands love our sublimated patches:
  • Perfect for detailed artwork, photos, or gradient designs.
  • Produces crisp, clear images that match your original design.
  • Ideal for uniforms, apparel, and accessories.
  • Long-lasting color that stays bright over time.
  • Designed to hold up through regular wear and washing.
  • A great choice when fine detail matters most.

Our Custom Patches

Modular Patches

These patches break away from a single-piece design. You can create separate patch elements that fit together, making application easy and creative.

Fabric-Layered Patches

These patches use cut-out fabric or felt pieces sewn onto a base, creating a light and textured look with fewer stitches. Great for sports uniforms and bold designs.

Traditional Embroidered Patches

These patches have fine stitching that gives them a classic and stylish look. Made with durable threads, they keep your design clear and long-lasting.

Mixed-Style Patches

Combine different materials like embroidery, chenille, PVC, or prints to create a custom patch that stands out from the rest.

Sparkling Sequin Patches

Want some shine? Sequin patches come in many colors and sizes, giving a glittery effect. You can use only sequins or mix them with embroidery for a special look.

Raised Puff Patches

These patches have a soft, raised effect thanks to foam under the stitches. They add depth and make logos or images stand out in a bold way.

With heat-activated glue, iron-on patches stick easily using an iron or heat press. Best for clothing and accessories, they offer a durable hold but may weaken with frequent washing.
