The Best Thing About Custom Embroidered Patches

Custom patches are a great way to boost your style and professionalism.

If you’re in business today, you know how important image and branding can be to success. When you need a way to increase brand awareness, custom embroidered patches are among the most economical, affordable ways to do so. The uses of custom patches are virtually limitless.

Let’s take a look at some of the advantages of embroidered patches, both in marketing and as a means of personal expression.

Professionalism 


One of the major advantages of embroidered patches is that they add a level of professionalism to employee uniforms. It sets a standard look for your brand, and improves customer confidence and trust.  Uniform patches also help build team spirit and camaraderie among your staff. They reinforce group identity and a sense of pride. And proud workers are better representatives of your brand.

Brand Recognition

Custom embroidered patches are a high-visibility, low-cost way to increase your brand recognition. Uniform patches for your employees can introduce your colors, logo and brand to a wider audience. Consistent exposure to the patches helps reinforce your brand image with potential customers or clients.

Personal Expression


Among the many uses of custom patches, you'll find them a terrific way to get your point across.  If you want to add some personal style to an ordinary jacket or pair of jeans, think patches! One of the multiple advantages of embroidered patches is the ability to express your unique personality through them. Whether you want a single patch for a lapel or enough to cover a denim or leather jacket, embroidered patches can convey whatever message you want.

Make a political statement. Tell a joke. Remember a favorite person or place. Whatever you want to say, custom embroidered patches are an easy way to do it. Whether you want to go with a vintage retro style or a more contemporary look, it’s easy to do with embroidered patches.

Cost-Effectiveness

One of the greatest advantages of embroidered patches is their affordability. When you order in bulk, the per-patch cost goes down, which can result in significant savings. You get a professional quality imprint of your logo or text at a lower cost than many other promotional products.

That makes them ideal for giveaways at concerts, conventions, trade shows and conferences. Special events such as Daytona Beach Bike Week also are outstanding places to spread your logo among a larger group of potential customers. 

Keep in mind what embroidered patches really are – small, portable works of art. Create an eye-catching design for your brand, then give it away to prospective customers or clients. The’ll be sure to remember you when they’re ready to buy your product or service.

Durability


With high quality threads and backing materials, embroidered patches are extraordinarily durable. They resist fading, unraveling and other wear and tear. They’re tough enough for battlefield use, and can stand up to rain, dust, heat, cold and virtually any other conditions. That gives them an advantage for workwear, military and police uniforms and outdoor gear.

Unlike printed patches, embroidery doesn’t crack or peel. Because they last so long, embroidered patches don’t need to be replaced often. Properly attached, they will last for the life of the garment they’re attached to. And you don’t have to worry about any special laundry techniques. Just follow the instructions for whatever the patch is attached to.

Versatility 


Versatility is one of the key advantages of  embroidered patches. Their ease of attachment enables you to  use them on uniforms, backpacks, hats, jackets, and even promotional products like tote bags or pouches. Multiple attachment options mean you can choose the type that’s just right for your application.

Sew-on patches offer a permanent attachment that will last the life of the garment or other item they’re attached to. Iron-on patches are nearly as permanent, and make attachment easy, with no sewing skills required. Velcro® hook-and-loop fasteners are ideal for applications where you need to remove them quickly, or transfer them between different garments.

Custom embroidered patches are an outstanding way to let you creativity run free. Thanks to modern patch technology, you can choose from a broad range of thread colors, shapes, sizes, and designs. Want a 3D effect? Go for a raised embroidery style.

Prefer a bright, bold style that really catches the eye? Choose metallic or neon threads to emphasize the difference between your patches and ordinary ones. The advantages of embroidered patches are so many that it’s no wonder they are the most popular patch style people choose. 

The level of customization that embroidered patches allows patches that perfectly suit specific situations. For example, schools can create unique patches for different teams, classes, departments or events. You can change them each year to match the personality and style of each incoming class. With a little imagination, you're sure to think of even more uses of custom patches.

In the same way, firefighters and police officers can have embroidered patches specific to their own department, squad or station. The degree of customization is up to you.
