In the modern trend of personalization, custom text patches are becoming a popular choice for expressing one’s personal style. Whether it’s an exclusive badge for a club event or a logo for a sports team, these embroidered text, numbers or slogans are creating a DIY trend in apparel, bags, accessories and more. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to convey your unique message through custom text patches, and answer consumers’ most important questions about the process, price and application.
Why choose the text embroidery process?
While traditional printed patches are prone to fading and warping, custom embroidered patches use a high-density stitching process with clear and wear-resistant text edges, making them especially suitable for scenarios that require long-term use. For example, Football Embroidered Patches on sports team uniforms are often subjected to frequent friction and washing, and the embroidery process ensures that key information such as team names and numbers remain intact for five years.
Data shows that 65% of orders for embroidered patches are for text elements. For patches smaller than 3cm, use a 0.5mm fine needle and 120D high strength thread to improve detail accuracy.
Four steps to complete the exclusive design
Submission of textual content
In the Custom Text Patch Order System, enter the statement to be embroidered (20 languages supported) with a recommended length of 10 characters or less to ensure readability. Vector files are required for special symbols.
Selection of substrate material
Polyester: suitable for sewing on thick fabrics such as denim, canvas, etc. 3mm hem is recommended.
Non-woven: preferred for small patches weighing only 15g/piece, suitable for children’s clothing, hats and other lightweight scenes.
Confirmation of the embroidery process
Depending on whether you go with 50% embroidery, or 75% embroidery, and 100% embroidery, the only difference is how much of the bottom is exposed, if 100% embroidery, it’s basically all embroidered surfaces, and won’t expose the bottom material.
