Printed patches are a modern alternative to traditional embroidery. Instead of using thread, your artwork is directly printed onto fabric, which allows for sharp details, gradients, and photo-like designs. This makes them perfect for logos, artwork, or designs that embroidery can’t capture.

At Embrolab, we create custom printed patches that are both durable and stylish. Whether you need them for uniforms, jackets, caps, or event giveaways, our printed fabric patches deliver vibrant colors and a smooth finish — giving your brand or design a bold, professional look.

Yes — sublimation patches are a type of printed fabric patch. The sublimation printing process allows your design to be transferred directly onto the patch fabric using heat, which creates sharp details, vibrant colors, and even photo-like images. This is why sublimation is often the preferred method for making custom printed patches.

So, when you hear the term sublimation patches, it usually refers to the same thing as printed patches — both give you high-quality designs that embroidery cannot match.

Printed patches are versatile and can be used in many ways to showcase your design, brand, or message. Because they allow for full-color printing and fine detail, they’re ideal for promotional items, event giveaways, and corporate branding. Many businesses use custom printed patches on uniforms, jackets, and hats to create a professional and unified look.

They’re also popular for personal use — from decorating backpacks and clothing to creating collectible items for fan clubs, sports teams, and events. Our printed fabric patches give you endless options to make your design stand out with vibrant colors and long-lasting quality.

Our custom printed patches are crafted with care and efficiency. The standard production time is just 6–7 days, making them a fast and reliable option for events, promotions, or uniforms. Whether you’re ordering printed fabric patches for personal use or bulk quantities for your team, you’ll get high-quality results without long waiting periods.

Yes! Many customers like to mix custom printed patches with options such as embroidered or PVC patches to achieve the perfect look. For example, while printed fabric patches capture fine details and gradients, embroidered patches add a textured, classic finish. This combination gives you the best of both worlds — durability, style, and detail.
