Transform Your Apparel Brand with Custom Patches

For clothing brands focused on headwear and outerwear, custom patches are a game changer. Not only do they bring an instant visual upgrade to your products, but they also help you achieve stunning, consistent quality while keeping costs low. By adding custom patches to your designs, you’ll increase your profit margins and elevate your brand's appeal. Custom patches provide the cleanest, most cost-effective way to enhance products like beanies, snapbacks, and more.

Why Do Top Brands Choose Custom Patches? Here Are 3 Key Benefits

1. Consistency in Design

   Unlike direct embroidery, custom patches can be mass-produced with uniformity, ensuring that every piece looks the same. This is especially useful for items like beanies, where embroidery may not provide a clean result.

2. Versatile Placement Options

   Patches can be placed on garments where embroidery can't reach, such as the sleeves of hoodies or the side of a hat.

3. Cost Savings

   When producing patches in bulk, brands can save significantly, making it a cost-effective method for decorating clothing.

How Custom Patches Help Your Print-On-Demand Store Stand Out

If you're running a print-on-demand store, you know it can sometimes feel generic. Custom patches add a professional touch that sets your brand apart. They give your apparel a unique, high-quality look that customers will love. Plus, your customers will be impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail, creating a memorable experience with every order.

Types of Custom Patches

Choose the right type and size of patch based on your design and where you want to place it. Here are a few examples:

Extra Small Patches:

Typically around 1 square inch in size, these are great for subtle branding on smaller items like caps.

Small Patches:

These patches (around 1 to 4 square inches) are ideal for headwear like hats and beanies or small areas like the chest or sleeve of a shirt or hoodie.

Medium Patches:

Ranging from 4 to 8 square inches, medium patches are perfect for larger areas such as the center of a hoodie or jacket or the front of a cap.

Large Patches:

Typically 8 to 12 square inches, large patches make a bold statement and are perfect for the back of jackets, large hoodies, or other standout pieces in your apparel collection.

Choosing the Right Patch Size and Shape

Custom patches come in a wide range of sizes, from as small as 1” to as large as 12”. However, the size of your patch can greatly impact its cost and placement on the product. Larger patches can cost up to 5 times more than smaller ones, so it’s important to weigh the cost against the premium feel they provide. While large patches work well on jackets or the back of hoodies, smaller patches can be placed in various locations on almost any garment, such as the sleeves or front of hats.

When selecting your patch size, consider the garment it will be applied to. For example, larger patches may not fit well on smaller items like beanies. To see a range of patch placement options, check out our custom patch placement guide.
