Get Stitching With Sew On Patches

Custom sew-on patches are a perfect way to brand your clothing, bags, and other textile products. Like our woven labels and sewing labels, these patches are created by intricately weaving fine threads to produce detailed designs with a distinctive textured look. Crafted on a durable paper backing, these sew-on patches are built to last, making them ideal for uniforms, custom-branded items, outdoor gear, and more.

Creating custom sewing patches with Dutch Label Shop is a straightforward process. Our easy-to-use platform takes you through every step, from design and order, to delivery, right across Australia, New Zealand and beyond. Start by uploading your existing designs with our dedicated Woven Patches uploader tool. You'll have the flexibility to choose from various application methods, including sew-on, ensuring that your patches are perfectly suited to your specific needs. Additionally, you can select edge finishes that match your style, offering the personalisation your branding requires.

You're in full control of the final patch dimensions, ensuring they fit seamlessly on your chosen application surface. Our patches are crafted using the damask weave technique, allowing for up to twelve colours per design, resulting in exceptionally detailed and visually striking patches. Whether you're after a small accent or a bold statement piece, our custom sew-on patches deliver a polished, professional finish.

The main difference between custom sew-on patches and iron-on patches lies in how they are attached to your textiles. Sew-on patches require stitching by hand or with a sewing machine, providing a more permanent and secure attachment. In contrast, iron-on patches feature a heat-activated adhesive on the back, which allows them to be easily applied using heat and pressure, usually with an iron.

We have a range of application methods when ordering patches:

• Sew on – paper backing only
• Iron-on – paper backing plus a heat-sensitive adhesive layer for textiles
• Sticker – paper backing plus a self-adhesive layer that is great for solid surfaces
• Single-sided velcro – paper backing plus the hook/rough side of velcro. This can be attached to soft surfaces like felt, or the loop/soft side of your own velcro
• Double-sided velcro – paper backing plus the hook/rough side of velcro which comes with an additional matching loop/soft side of velcro in the shape of your patch to sew onto your textiles

Custom sew-on patches are a powerful tool for enhancing product branding. Their versatility allows you to align them with your product’s style and theme, adding a personal touch to everything they are attached to. Tailor patches to reflect your brand’s identity and consider incorporating custom woven labels, logo labels or clothing size labels for a more comprehensive branding approach.

Use patches to create limited-edition offerings, which can generate excitement and a sense of urgency among your customers. Additionally, offering patches as promotional items or gifts with purchases helps to further promote your brand.

Custom sew-on patches are designed to be highly durable, retaining their vibrant appearance even after repeated wear and washing. We use colourfast yarns, so your colours won't run, fade, or transfer when wet. Selecting the sew-on patch will also provide you with the most secure attachment. At Dutch Label Shop, our high-quality threads and precise weaving techniques ensure that your branding remains sharp and long-lasting.

Sew-on patches can be applied to any textile that can be stitched with a needle and thread. They are durable enough to be washed and dried along with the items they’re attached to. Many of our customers use these patches on the outside of clothing and textile goods like bags, camping gear, outdoor equipment, T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts, and biker jackets.

Ordering custom patches for your business is a breeze at Dutch Label Shop. Simply create your design using your preferred artwork or graphic design software, then upload it through our website, ensuring it meets the required specifications. We deliver to all areas across Australia, including major cities like Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, as well as regional and rural locations.
