Embroidered custom patches are pieces of artwork that are created using an embroidery machine. These embroidered custom patches are made using cotton twill and different color threads. Usually embroidered custom patches convey a theme, event or logo that states the person or group's message. These embroidered custom patches are usually placed directly onto an article of clothing or can be used for a scrapbook. Twill is usually used as the background for the design and a plethora of thread colors are used to create the details of the image, there is a decorative stitch that overlays the edge of the twill fabric to make your embroidered custom patches. Embroidered custom patches are commonly worn by police officers, fire fighters, military, girl scout, boy scout, security guards,soccer players, college students, martial artist and many more. Embroidered patches can be applied in several ways, such as sew-on, iron-on, Velcro, adhesive, and more!
The maximum number of colors a patch can have is 18 different colors. If you are going to use more than 9 colors, the price of the embroidered patch will increase. We offer up to 9 different colors for free.
We offer many twill background colors for our embroidered custom patches. We can match any color or pantone color!

Yes. We have tested embroidered custom patches both sewn on and ironed on and put them through a wash and dryer 100 times, and the patch remained on the garment. In fact the average garment will only last around 50 washes, so your embroidered patch from Hero Patches will probably outlast your garment. Here is a tip, if you no longer want the garment, but want the patch, you can simply cut the patch out of the garment and sew it on to a new piece of apparel.
As mentioned above we have put our patches through 100 washes to test the results. There was no fraying or "bleeding" observed.
Our Iron-On option only cost an additional $.10, and it is really well worth it. With the iron-on option, you have the choice of sewing your patches on, but also the flexibility of being able to use a heat press to seal the patches onto your apparel or other textile, or you can use an iron. In addition sewing takes more time, and if you take your patch to a tailor to sew, it will cost you anywhere from $.50 to $3 per garment. The extra $.10 you spend on an iron on option, can save you time and money, and the patch will stay on, just as well as it would if you were wearing the patch.
Embroidery is an art, and inherent in art is the possibility of imperfections. Embroidery is not the same as printing where a design can be copied 100%. Embroidery is a completely different medium, and even the weather can make differences in the final sew out. These differences are slight, but again because embroidery is a completely different medium, there will be slight differences. However, this is why we send you a mock-up sample and sewn out sample via email before we begin final production. Only after you confirm the sew out, will we begin final production. The final production will look exactly like the sew out that you approve. In addition sewing takes more time, and if you take your patch to a tailor to sew, it will cost you anywhere from $.50 to per garment. The extra $.10 you spend on an iron on option, can save you time and money, and the patch will stay on, just as well as it would if you were wearing the patch.
We definitely can. Just take a picture of your patch and we will be able to replicate it almost exactly. Check out this blog post that describes how we recreated patches that were almost 50 years old for a Navy Veteran. For the closest matches, send your product to us, and we will send it back to you, once we complete production.
A merrowed border patch means that a special type of thread is sewn around the edge of the patch to sort of seal the edges of the patch. A lot of our customers believe that merrowed border patches look a lot cleaner, because there is no thread that puckers out on the edges of the patch. The choice of choosing a merrowed border or stitched border is really one of personal preference. The only set rule is that a merrowed border generally does not look good on 100% custom embroidered patches, but again we have come across customers that like merrowed borders on 100% embroidered patches. Check out one of our blog posts about borders to get another opinion on the border debate, or check out our special options page to read more about merrowed borders.
We accept minimum orders of 1 piece, the price of one piece is .00 However, once you order 10 pieces you will begin to receive our wholesale pricing and the price decreases significantly.
If you'd like, order 7 billion pieces (one for each human being in the world). Although we are asked this question a lot, the answer is obvious, we will take any order. Our largest order has been for 500,000 patches and caps, and it was for a famous video game release.
One of the most powerful things about doing business with MaxEmblem is that we have an extensive network of suppliers. Mott's the company that makes Apple Sauce, once had an order for 20,000 pieces, and they called us on a Thursday and needed delivery for the following Tuesday. No other company could meet this delivery schedule. However, we were able to meet the deadline by combining the resources of five of our factories together. We had all 20,000 pieces in the customer's hand by Tuesday, 10AM.
We keep record of your custom product forever. We keep a digital record of your product in your customer area, as well as our customer database, and we also keep one physical copy of your custom product in our warehouse. If you want to reorder, simply tell your Creative Specialist, and we will be able to quickly reproduce your custom order again.
