Print & Embroidery Patches, also known as print stitch patches, combine the sharp, colorful graphics of full-color printing with the texture and intricacy of traditional embroidery. These patches feature a printed background with added embroidery elements. With no limitations on fabric colors due to the sublimation process, the ability to add a full color photographic background, with depth and dimension due to the embroidery, they remain a popular choice for those with more intricate designs.

Unlike traditional embroidered patches, Print & Embroidery Patches allow for the inclusion of highly detailed, full-color images on the background. The combination of printing and embroidery creates a visually striking and texturally rich patch.

You can print almost any design on these patches, including photographs, logos, text, and complex graphics. The printing process allows for fine details and vibrant colors. This makes Print & Embroidery patches suitable for a wide range of purposes and applications.

Our Print & Embroidery Patches are customizable and can be made in various sizes to suit your needs. Common sizes range from small, intricate designs to larger patches for jackets or bags. Choose from 1” to 12” print stitch patches to suit your needs. 

Yes, we offer the option to order sample patches. This allows you to assess the quality, colors, and design before committing to a larger order.

The minimum order quantity for our Print & Embroidery Patches is 25 patches. But remember, the higher the quantity, the more you save! You can save up to 70% when you order 1000 patches or more. View our pricing matrix in the product description above for more details.

There are two methods to attach these print stitch patches to your clothing or accessories. The most popular and longer lasting method is to use a heat press. The temperature and pressure required will vary depending on the garment you are applying to. View our pressing instructions for more details. 

The second option is our peel & stick backing. This makes the patch suitable for one time use, without the need to iron or press to permanently bond the patch.

The attachment options are the same as many of our patch types. We recommend using the heat press option for print and embroidered patches to ensure longevity. You can heat press onto garments and hats. A top heat press can work well for garments, while top and bottom heat is recommended for hats. 

You can also choose Peel & Stick or Velcro application options, which are typically more temporary.

As this patch type is a combination of our two most popular patches, we aim to make sure we’re as flexible as possible when it comes to the designs. These print stitch patches come with a printed background offering a full-color, photographic image. The stitch / embroidered part is added to give the patch some extra texture and dimension. 

It’s important to note that the embroidered part of the patch should have no more than 15 different colors, and the sublimated part is unlimited.

The size of the print and embroidered patches will depend on what you are pressing on and the patch's location. We recommend the following: 

• Hat Square/Circle Patch - 2 inches
• Hat Rectangle Patch - 4 inches
• Front Left Chest Shirt - 4 inches
• Sleeve - 3 Inches
• Back Neckline - 3 inches

This allows for even the most intricate designs to be visible. 

With the embroidered part, there are some limitations in the level of detail - the embroidered section is generally there to add more depth and texture to the patch. However, the printed portion of the patch can be as detailed as you would like - in fact, they are often photorealistic, which offers a high level of intricacy.
