Full color printed patches, also known as sublimation patches or dye sublimation patches, are custom-designed textile patches that feature intricate and vibrant designs printed directly onto the fabric. 

Unlike traditional embroidered patches, which use thread to create designs, these sublimated patches utilize digital printing technology to reproduce complex artwork with a wide range of colors and details.

This state-of-the-art printing process allows for even higher and more intricate designs than woven patches and many other custom patch types. Full color printed patches are bright, colorful, and detailed.
