Custom patches are for anyone who wants to add a personal touch to their clothing or accessories. They’re also great for showcasing team spirit for corporations, sports teams, schools, and clubs.
On average, we fulfill orders in 2–5 business days. This doesn’t include delivery, as shipping times depend on the order volume and destination.
Absolutely! When applied correctly, custom iron-on patches can last for years. However, their longevity depends on wear, washing, and the type of fabric they’re attached to. Proper application and care will prolong their life.
You can attach the custom patches to clothing or other items using safety pins, sewing, or ironing them on.
To use the iron-on method, follow these steps:
1. Choose a sturdy item for your patch, preferably denim or cotton
2. Lay the base material on a flat, heat-proof surface
3. Set the iron to a high, steam-free setting that your fabric can handle
4. Pre-iron the chosen patch area
5. Place the patch on the fabric
6. Cover the patch with a thin cloth
7. Press the iron over the cloth-covered patch for 25 seconds and then another 25 on the backside
8. Let the patch cool
9. Test the patch’s edges—if it’s not secure, repeat ironing
For extra durability, sew the patch edges to the fabric.
Yes. To increase the patch’s lifespan, handwash it with cold water. Use the washing machine only when necessary.
Patches adhere best to sturdy fabrics like denim or cotton. Avoid delicate materials, as the iron-on process might damage them.
Yes, you can sell custom patches online. To be profitable, find a niche you want to sell to. It could be anything from motorcycle clubs to sports teams—just ensure there’s a big enough market for your patches. Then, focus on personalized designs for your niche. Finally, market your embroidered patches to attract customers.
Success usually doesn’t come overnight, but if you stick to it and keep adjusting your strategy, selling patches online can be a profitable and enjoyable experience.
