How We Excel in Embroidery
Industrial Mastery in Custom Embroidered Patches

At Shirt.co, we combine five decades of experience with advanced Schiffli-style technology to deliver custom embroidered patches meant to last a lifetime. We use state-of-the-art Tajima embroidery machines to offer a wide range of embroidery, including glow-in-the-dark, flat, and metallic stitches onto a variety of fabrics like polyester, cotton, and blends.

Apprenticeship-Trained Quality

Every custom embroidery patch is reviewed by an apprenticeship-trained master printer. We maintain a strict detail threshold, ensuring high thread density and crisp borders that prevent fraying.

Color Accuracy

We use a high-opacity thread system lab-tested for colorfastness. Your embroidery patches will withstand heavy-duty washing and extreme wear without fading, cracking, or peeling.

What is the difference between 50%, 75%, and 100% embroidery coverage?

This refers to the amount of thread covering the twill backing. 50% is best for simple text on a visible background; 100% means the entire patch is covered in thread, offering a heavier, more premium feel often seen in military and Leather Patches combos.

What backing options are best for my custom embroidery patches?

We offer three industrial standards: Sew-on (the most durable "mainstay" for uniforms), Iron-on (sturdy and convenient for retail), and Velcro/Hook-and-Loop (ideal for Patch Hats and tactical gear).

Can you match my brand's specific Pantone colors?

Yes. Our master printers use a wide gamut of polyester threads to match your brand identity precisely. We ensure that your custom embroidered patches align perfectly with your other Promo Products and Embroidered apparel.

Are these patches durable enough for industrial workwear?

Absolutely. We use colorfast polyester threads and heat-sealed edges to prevent unraveling. Our patches are rated for 50+ washes, making them the preferred choice for Union uniforms and rugged outdoor gear.

How do I prepare my artwork for the best results?

For the sharpest custom embroidered patches, we recommend high-resolution (300 DPI) files. However, our design team can help format your artwork to ensure thread density and "pop" are maximized for the final stitch.
