Why Choose Our Custom Patches in Glasgow
Glasgow customers often need patches that survive real use — on kitbags, outdoor jackets and club kit that see plenty of rain. We recommend the right construction and backing for how your patch will be worn, not just how it looks on screen.
High Quality Materials
The quality of a patch depends on the materials used. We use strong fabric bases and premium embroidery thread to ensure every patch looks professional and holds its shape even after long term use. Our embroidered patches feature dense stitching and clear detail so logos and text remain easy to read. The threads we use are colourfast and resistant to fading, which helps patches stay vibrant after washing or outdoor use.
Small Orders from 10 Pieces
Many patch manufacturers require large minimum orders. We understand that not every customer needs hundreds of patches. That is why we offer flexible ordering options starting from just 10 pieces. Whether you need a small batch for a sample or a bulk order for uniforms or merchandise, we can produce the exact quantity you require.
Fast Production and UK Delivery
Businesses in Glasgow often need patches quickly for uniforms, events, product launches, or promotional campaigns. Our production process is designed to deliver patches efficiently while maintaining quality. We provide reliable delivery throughout Glasgow and the UK so your order arrives on time, typically within 14 working days.
Free Artwork and Patch Design Assistance
If you already have a logo or design, we can convert it into a patch ready format. If you only have an idea, our design team can help refine it into a professional patch layout. We provide digital artwork previews before production begins so you can see exactly how your custom patch will look.
Competitive Pricing for Bulk Orders
For businesses, clubs, and organisations in Glasgow that require large quantities, we offer competitive bulk pricing. This makes custom patches a cost effective option for branding, promotional merchandise, and uniforms.
Types of Custom Patches We Offer in Glasgow
Different patch styles are suitable for different purposes. Some patches are ideal for uniforms and branding, while others are better suited for fashion or tactical gear. At Personalised Patches UK we produce several types of patches so customers in Glasgow can choose the best option for their design and application.
Custom Embroidered Patches
Embroidered patches are the most common type of custom patch. They are created by stitching thread onto a fabric base to form the design. These patches offer a classic textured look that works well for logos, badges, and lettering. They are widely used by:
- Schools and colleges in Glasgow
- Sports teams across Glasgow
- Security companies
- Corporate uniforms
- Motorcycle clubs
- Clothing brands
The raised stitching gives embroidered patches a bold appearance that stands out on jackets, uniforms, caps, and bags.

PVC patches are made from flexible rubber material rather than thread. This makes them waterproof, durable, and ideal for outdoor environments. They are commonly used for:
- Military patches
- Tactical gear
- Police and security uniforms
- Outdoor clothing
- Adventure gear
PVC patches provide strong colour contrast and can include layered designs that create a three dimensional look.
Learn more about PVC patches →Woven Patches
Woven patches are designed for detailed artwork and small text. Instead of raised stitching, woven patches use thinner threads woven tightly together to produce smooth designs. These patches are ideal for designs that include:
- Fine detail
- Small lettering
- Complex logos
Fashion brands in Glasgow often prefer woven patches because they create a clean and modern appearance.
Learn more about woven patches →Chenille Patches
Chenille patches are thick and soft patches often seen on varsity jackets. They are made using looped yarn which gives them a fluffy texture. They are popular with:
- Schools in Glasgow
- Universities
- Sports teams
- Streetwear brands
Chenille patches create a bold vintage look that stands out on jackets and hoodies.

Printed patches allow photographic detail and full colour images. Instead of embroidery, the design is printed directly onto the patch material. These patches work well for artwork that includes gradients, shading, or photographic elements.
Learn more about printed patches →Patch Backing Options
Choosing the right backing determines how the patch will be attached to clothing or gear. Different backing types suit different applications depending on durability and convenience.
Iron On Patches
Iron on patches include a heat activated adhesive backing that allows the patch to be attached using heat. This method is quick and easy. It is commonly used for clothing such as jackets, hoodies, and backpacks. Many clothing brands in Glasgow use iron on patches for decorative fashion items.
Learn more →Velcro Patches
Velcro backing allows patches to be attached and removed easily. The patch includes a hook backing which attaches to a loop surface on the garment. Velcro patches are widely used for military uniforms, tactical clothing, police and security gear, and airsoft equipment.
Learn more →Sew On Patches
Sew on patches are the most durable option. They are stitched directly onto clothing or fabric using thread. Because they are permanently attached, sew on patches are commonly used for uniforms, workwear, and long term applications.
Learn more →Adhesive Patches
Adhesive backing provides a temporary attachment option. These patches stick directly onto surfaces and can be removed later. They are often used for events, short term branding, or temporary displays.

Across Glasgow and the West of Scotland we make patches for university and college societies, football, rugby and shinty clubs, bands and venues, outdoor and hillwalking groups, fashion labels, workwear, schools and community organisations.
Corporate Branding and Business Uniforms
Many companies in Glasgow use embroidered logo patches to strengthen brand identity. When staff wear uniforms with a company patch, it creates a consistent and professional appearance. Businesses often add custom patches to staff uniforms, workwear jackets, branded caps, and promotional clothing. A clear and well stitched logo patch helps customers recognise your brand instantly. It also reinforces a sense of pride among employees.
Motorcycle and Biker Club Patches
Motorcycle clubs in Glasgow have a long tradition of using patches to represent their identity. Biker patches are usually worn on leather jackets or vests and often include club logos, region names, and symbolic designs. Custom biker patches are commonly produced as large embroidered patches with strong borders and bold lettering.
Military and Tactical Patches
Military and tactical patches require durability and clarity. These patches are often used to show rank, unit identity, or mission groups. Velcro backed patches are particularly popular for tactical uniforms because they allow patches to be changed easily. PVC patches are also frequently used in military and outdoor environments because they are waterproof and resistant to wear.
Sports Teams and Clubs
Sports teams in Glasgow use custom patches to display team logos and achievements. Embroidered badges are often added to jerseys, jackets, training gear, and equipment bags. Schools and sports organisations also use patches to recognise accomplishments such as championships or awards.
Fashion Brands and Streetwear Labels
Many clothing brands in Glasgow use custom patches as a design feature on garments. Patches can be attached to denim jackets, hoodies, caps, and bags to create a distinctive brand style. Streetwear brands often choose woven patches or embroidered logo patches to highlight their brand identity.
Schools and Organisations
Schools, colleges, and youth organisations in Glasgow frequently use embroidered badges for uniforms and special events. These patches can display school crests, house colours, or event logos. Because they are durable, patches are ideal for school uniforms that need to withstand daily wear.

A Typical Glasgow Order: Outdoor Club Patches

Our Custom Patch Design and Ordering Process
Ordering custom patches should be straightforward. We have created a simple step by step process that allows customers in Glasgow to turn their design into a finished patch quickly.
Send Your Design or Idea
The process begins when you send us your artwork or describe the design you want. This could be a logo, badge concept, or brand symbol. If you do not have a finished design, our team can help develop one based on your idea.
Digital Artwork and Patch Mockup
Once we receive your design, we create a digital patch mockup. This preview shows how the embroidery, colours, border, and size will appear. You will have the chance to review the design and request adjustments before production begins.
Production of Your Custom Patches
After approval, your patches move into production. Our manufacturing process focuses on precision stitching, durable materials, and consistent colour accuracy. Every patch is inspected to ensure it meets quality standards.
Delivery Across Glasgow and the UK
We deliver by tracked courier to every G postcode and across the West of Scotland, including Paisley (PA), Motherwell and Hamilton (ML) and Kilmarnock (KA), within 14 working days of proof approval, or 5–7 working days on rush.
