Custom patches are a sentimental party favor, a sweet reminder of your annual family gathering, or a creative wedding favor idea. Small shops on Etsy design all kinds of creative custom patches, from small to large, sweet to silly. Here are a few of the most popular choices for custom patches:
-
Custom embroidered patches: These have a classic stitched look and can accommodate a lot of detail, much like a merit badge you may have received in your youth. This type of custom patch can incorporate detailed lettering and designs and are great patches for jackets or cloth shoes that need some extra flair.
-
Photo patches: Create a custom patch using one of your favorite pictures, whether it’s of the birthday boy, the blushing bride, or the guest of honor.
-
Name patches: A smart and creative way to add a name to important gear like jackets, backpacks, lunchboxes, totes, hats, and more, you can choose a unique style for each kid on the family tree.
-
Custom leather patches: A popular pick for custom logo patches for businesses, leather patches have a polished look and are great for beanies, shirts, and bags.
Once you pick a design, be sure to double check how the patch will be attached. Sew-on patches require a needle and thread for attachment. An easier option, iron-on patches are easy to apply and made to last. Custom velcro patches are a popular choice for hats and shirts that feature a velcro panel where you can add different badges and patches.
