Patch FAQs

Which patch should I choose?

Embroidered is the classic: raised, textured stitching for bold logos and crests. Woven is flatter and finer, for small text and detail; if you can read it on a business card, it will work woven. Printed carries photos and gradients in full colour. PVC is moulded rubber, waterproof and tough, for outdoor and tactical kit. Chenille is the fluffy varsity look for letters and bold shapes. Not sure? Send your artwork and we will advise on your proof.

What's the minimum order?

It depends on the patch type. Your minimum per design shows next to the quantity box as soon as you pick a style, and colour splits of the same design count together. Need fewer embroidered patches? We also do deals on smaller quantities: click the link below.

How fast can you deliver?

Standard lead times show with your estimate, door-to-door from artwork approval. Rush is available: pick Rush and we confirm your date in the quote.

Do I need finished artwork?

No. Send a sketch or a photo and we'll draw it up with free unlimited proof revisions.

Which backing should I choose?

Sew-on is the best: sewn on properly, a patch will last a lifetime. Iron-on is quick but not permanent, because hot washes and tumble drying weaken the bond, so use it for short-term wear or to hold the patch in place before sewing. Hook and loop lets patches come on and off, the standard for forces, emergency services and airsoft. Stick-on is for one-day events and hard surfaces like laptops. Not every backing suits every patch; your options show when you pick a style.

About custom patches

Custom patches are the perfect addition to uniforms, clothing and equipment when being used for promotional purposes. Whether you have a special event coming up, or you simply want your staff uniform to bear promotional patches for a few days, there are a number of options to choose from when you look for custom patches with Aspinline. Custom patches let businesses and organisations create a consistent, professional look while also promoting their brand or event.

Types of custom patches

Here at Aspinline, we are pleased to provide various options for your custom patch requirements. No matter the size, shape, style or design of the custom patch you are looking to create, we can help turn it into finished custom patches to be proud of. We use high-quality materials so your custom patches will be resilient when washing and throughout day-to-day use. Choose from our range of custom patches such as:

We have worked hard over the years to create a balance between price, quality, fair production times, and customer service. The results are custom patches you will be more than happy to wear.

Different ways you can attach patches

Here are the different backings available for your custom patch:

  • Sew-on - by far the most long-lasting way to apply a patch. A sewn-on patch can withstand washes, contact sports and much more.
  • Iron-on - lets a custom patch be applied with speed and ease. Heat activates the backing, which bonds to the material it is placed on. Just remember it is not a permanent solution.
  • Stick-on - ideal for temporary use. Just like stickers: peel away the backing and stick your patch on.
  • Hook & loop - the ideal choice for patches that need to be changed frequently or transferred between garments.
  • Heat press - only available with TPU patches, and should only be applied with a heat press machine.
