If you love fashion, then you must know how a single detail on your clothes can change your entire look. A single patch can change your clothes, hats, jackets, trousers, or even backpack and make you look unique instantly! If you are one of those who likes to add a personal touch to your things, then exploring the different types of custom patches can help you understand fashion better. 

In today's blog, we are going to explore the world of different kinds of patches and help you decide what will go with your look! 

What are custom patches? 

A piece of fabric that earlier was used to cover the holes in the clothes is now bringing a new sense of fashion among people. Custom patches are not just a piece of fabric, but a powerful way to share messages through visuals.  They work as a unique and attractive addition that helps you show off your brand, achievements, and personality. In a way, they make your clothes and accessories look even better! 

But did you know there is a whole world of patch types out there? Yes, it is true, and you can select any of them— whichever goes best with your look! Each patch type has its own unique material and design. So what are we waiting for? Let's explore different kinds of patches— their uses and how they are created! 

Types of Patches

1. DTF embroidered patches 

DTF embroidered patches are made using two Radiant Technology methods:  DTF printing and traditional embroidery. To make a DTF embroidered patch, we use a DTF printer to print the design onto a special film. We then heat-press the printed film onto the fabric. Once we cut the design into any desired shape, your DTF embroidered patch is ready! 

DTF embroidery patches offer you vivid colors, the right details, and excellent durability. The best part about them is that they preserve the traditional embroidery presence in the latest fashion trends. You can use DTF embroidered patches to get your premium branding, logo representation, and promotional merchandise done. 

2. Embroidered Iron-On Patches

If you are looking for the best and quickest DIY patch, then Embroidered Iron-On Patches is the one for you! Embroidered Iron-On Patches has a traditional embroidery design with adhesive backing. You can activate the adhesive via heat. This simple and quick process of application makes it the best choice for you! 

You can use such types of patches for your casual wear, events, and promotional needs. The only con of using these patches is that they are less durable; with long use, they have the potential to rip off.
