Sew-On Backing
The most secure option for uniforms, jackets, and workwear that gets washed and worn repeatedly. Stitching keeps the patch flat and fully attached under regular movement and machine washing.

Every patch below uses dye sublimation for full-colour, photo-level detail. Choose the style that fits your design and application.
01
Standard Sublimated Patches
Flat, fully printed patches with a smooth fabric finish. Best for photos, gradients, and detailed logos that need exact colour reproduction. Common in team merchandise, corporate branding, and promotional runs.
02
PVC Patches with Sublimated Print
A full-colour printed surface fused onto a raised PVC base for a thicker, rubber-like feel. Choose these when the patch needs to resist moisture, abrasion, or outdoor conditions — common in tactical gear, uniforms, and equipment bags.
03
Photo-Realistic Sublimated Patches
Built for complex artwork like portraits, landscapes, and detailed photography. Continuous-tone printing handles fine shading and colour blending that flat-colour methods cannot reproduce. The choice when the design itself is the selling point.
04
Glow in the Dark Sublimated Patches
Full-colour sublimation combined with a glow-reactive base layer. Useful for night events, and novelty or gaming merchandise where after-dark visibility adds function or appeal.
05
Metallic and Holographic Sublimated Patches
Shimmer, shine, and colour-shift effects achieved through specialty substrates and films combined with full-colour printing. Chosen when a brand wants a premium or eye-catching look beyond standard flat colour.
06
Custom Shape Sublimated Patches
Any outline cut precisely around your artwork instead of a standard circle, square, or rectangle. Necessary when a logo or design has an irregular shape that a standard cut would crop.
Choose the Backing and Edge Finish That Fits Your Sublimated Patch
Sublimation gives you the full-colour print. How the patch attaches and how the edge is finished determines how well it performs day to day.
Iron-On Backing
Good for apparel and promotional garments made from heat-safe fabric. Heat-activated adhesive bonds the patch without sewing — faster for bulk orders or customers applying patches at home.
Hook-and-Loop Backing
Fits gear that needs patches swapped in and out, like tactical vests, uniforms with rotating unit or name patches, and equipment bags. Attach and remove repeatedly without damaging the garment.
Adhesive Backing
Peel-and-stick for temporary use, trade show samples, product displays, or short-run promotions. Positions instantly with no sewing or heat press required. Better for short-term use than daily wear.
Pin Backing
Common for event merchandise, commemorative patches, and collector items. Works on jackets, hats, bags, and display boards. Repositionable and removable without leaving a mark.
Merrowed Border
A stitched edge wrapped around the print, giving the traditional patch look with a durable, protected border. Best for standard shapes like circles, rectangles, and shields.
Heat Cut Edge
Seals the fabric edge flush against the printed design with no visible stitching. Works well for irregular shapes, fine detail, and logos where a cleaner, more modern look is preferred over the classic stitched border.
Laser Cut Edge
The highest-precision cut, ideal for complex outlines, small text, and intricate artwork where even a heat cut edge might round off fine detail. Keeps sharp corners and thin elements intact.

Request a Quote (No Obligation)Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Sublimated Patches
Find answers to the most common questions about our services.
What file formats do you accept for artwork?
We accept JPG, PNG, PDF, and high-resolution files. Vector formats like AI, EPS, and SVG are preferred for logos and clean line art. If you only have a rough concept, share it and we will guide you.
Can you match Pantone or specific brand colours?
We match as closely as possible within the dye sublimation process. Provide your Pantone references or brand colour codes, and we will confirm accuracy on the digital mockup before production begins.
What patch sizes are available?
Standard sizes range from 1 inch to 12 inches (2.5 cm to 30 cm) on the longest side. Custom sizes are available. Tell us your required dimensions and we will confirm feasibility and pricing.
What materials are sublimated patches made from?
Most sublimated patches use a polyester fabric base because dye sublimation bonds best with polyester. We also offer PVC, glow, metallic, and holographic substrates for specialty effects.
How durable are sublimated patches? Can they be washed?
Sublimated patches are durable and colourfast. For sewn-on patches, machine washing is fine. For iron-on or adhesive patches, follow the application instructions and wash inside out on a gentle cycle to extend life.
Do you offer rush production or expedited shipping?
Yes. Rush production and expedited shipping are available for time-sensitive orders. Contact us with your deadline and we will confirm the fastest possible turnaround.
What is your return or replacement policy?
If a defect occurs due to a manufacturing error, we will remake and reship the patches at no cost. Claims must be submitted within 14 days of delivery. We do not accept returns for approved custom artwork.
Can I order a sample or a single patch before committing to a bulk order?
Yes. There is no minimum order, so you can order one patch as a sample or pilot. This lets you check quality, colour, and feel before placing a larger order.
Do you ship outside the UK?
Yes, we ship within the UK as well as worldwide. For international inquiries, contact us and we will review options on a case-by-case basis.
