Printed Patches

Custom Printed Patches in Full Color

Printed patches carry your artwork as a print on a fabric face rather than as stitched thread. That lets colors blend, gradients stay smooth, and small details appear as they do in your file.

They suit artwork that would be hard to reproduce in thread, such as shading, many colors, or photo-style images. Share your design and we will review it with you, help choose the size, border, and backing, and send a proof before production.
