Every construction
Personalised Patches UK — Every Construction
Embroidered, woven, PVC, chenille, leather & printed
Embroidered patches
The classic construction — thread stitched into twill, with the raised texture that makes a crest look earned rather than printed. Our most ordered patch, and the one we hold to the strictest standard.
From
£2.30
View details
Woven patches
Where embroidery is sculptural, woven is precise. Threads are woven into the fabric rather than stitched on top, producing a flat, smooth surface that holds detail embroidery simply can't.
From
£2.00
View details
PVC & rubber patches
Moulded, not stitched. PVC patches shrug off mud, rain and drag — the go-to for morale patches, call-sign plates and kit that lives outdoors.
From
£2.50
View details
Printed patches
When the design is photographic — gradients, portraits, complex artwork — print reproduces what stitch can't. The most budget-friendly construction we make.
From
£1.60
View details
Leather patches
Leather doesn't decorate a garment — it belongs to it. Debossed marks that darken and burnish with wear, on vegetable-tanned hides finished at the bench.
From
£3.10
View details
Chenille patches
The fuzzy, tactile lettering of American varsity tradition — chenille yarn looped high off the felt, outlined in chain stitch. Instantly collegiate, unmistakably hand-finished.
From
£2.90
View details
3D puff patches
Foam under the stitch, thread over the top — lettering and shapes that stand off the patch in hard relief. The signature look of streetwear caps and bold crew merchandise.
From
£2.70
View details
Name patches & tapes
Not just your logo — every wearer's name. One digitised layout, variable text stitched piece by piece: school uniform name tapes, squad names and numbers, workwear tapes and individual gift crests.

The backing is half the patch
The prettiest crest is worthless if it peels in the wash. Choose by garment, not by convenience — tap each option.
Sew-on patches
Sew-On Patches
The professional standard. A plain fabric backing stitched to the garment is the most permanent, most launderable attachment there is — and the one uniform buyers should choose by default.
- Attachment
- Machine or hand stitch, 2–3mm from edge
- Best fabrics
- All woven fabrics incl. hi-viz
- Wash rating
- 60°C + industrial laundering
- Permanence
- Lifetime of the garment
How a patch gets made
Five stages, no mystery
Most patch problems are process problems — rushed digitising, skipped proofs, vague QC. Ours is written down, stage by stage.
- 01
Artwork review — free
Send anything from a vector file to a napkin sketch. Our digitisers assess stitchability, flag fine detail that won't survive, and suggest the construction that suits your budget — within one working day.
- 02
Digitising & proof
Your design is converted into stitch paths — direction, density, underlay. You receive a visual proof with matched thread colours. Production starts only after your written sign-off; two revision rounds included.
- 03
Production
The run goes on the line: thread-up, hooping, first-article check off the head before the batch runs. Standard orders are delivered within 14 working days of proof approval.
- 04
Quality control
Stitch density, border integrity, colour match under daylight-balanced light and dimensional tolerance checked against your signed proof — batch by batch, not sample by sample.
- 05
Tracked UK delivery
Packs leave our dispatch desk tracked to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Free over the basket threshold — and your digitised file stays on our server for instant reorders.

Pantone thread matching
Matched under daylight-balanced light and photographed for your records.

Why buy direct
A marketplace forwards your order. A maker answers for it.
The big patch marketplaces and AI design tools are middlemen — your artwork goes overseas, the proof is a render, and nobody who touched your job has a name. We do the whole job under one roof, and we put our contact on the ticket.

Before you ask
The questions every order starts with
Most embroidered patches land between roughly £1.50 and £8 per piece depending on size, quantity, construction and backing — a 75mm embroidered patch is typically £5.90–£7.80 at ten pieces and £1.55–£2.05 at a thousand. The pricing page explains every factor, and the quote builder shows an indicative range instantly.
Ten pieces per design — our honest minimum. Setup work (digitising, hooping, first-article check) is identical whether we run one patch or ten, so ten is the point where you pay a real production price rather than an inflated one-off. If you're planning a larger programme, ask about a pre-production sample against the bulk order.
Standard orders are delivered within 14 working days of proof approval, tracked UK delivery included. A rush lane at 5–7 working days is often available for a surcharge — check current capacity when you order.
Always. You receive a visual render of the digitised design with matched thread colours, and production starts only after your written sign-off. Two revision rounds are included.
Vector files are ideal — AI, EPS, SVG or PDF. High-resolution PNG and JPG work too; if your file isn't vector we'll redraw it as part of digitising. Send what you have: we review every file free and tell you honestly if it will stitch well.
Sew-on for permanence and industrial laundering, iron-on for quick application on cotton and poly-cotton, Velcro for morale patches and removable setups, adhesive for non-fabric surfaces. The backings comparison page walks through each with wash and fabric notes.

Patch Artwork & Design Guidelines
Good artwork is half the patch. These are the rules our digitisers work to — follow them and your proof comes back faster and cleaner; break them and we'll tell you exactly what to fix, free.

Embroidered vs Woven Patches
The most common fork in the road, settled properly. Both are thread on fabric; the difference is how the thread gets there — and that changes everything about detail, texture and cost.

Patches are priced and designed around dimensions, so getting the size right early saves a proof round. These are the sizes that work in practice, garment by garment.
