Cut to Shape

Typically called die cut, we utilize a state of the art laser to find and cut your patch edge.

Merrowed

Patches are cut using our laser and hand sewn using a special machine made for merrowing the edge of the patch. Merrowing covers the edges giving the patches a more finished look.

Folded & Sewn

More typical on name tapes and larger flak jacket identification patches

An embroidered patch, also known as a cloth badge, is a piece of embroidery which is created by using a fabric backing and thread. The art of making embroidered patches is an old tradition and was originally done by hand. All of our Embroidered patches are made in America, by us, in Winchester Kentucky

There are various methods of affixing them to the fabric surface. Embroidered patches can be attached with a pin, sewn on, or affixed with more modern methods such as Sew on, heat-activated adhesive, and Hook backing.
