What Are Name Patches?

If you’ve ever seen uniforms, work shirts, or even fun personalized jackets with someone’s name stitched on them — those are name patches! Simple, practical, and stylish, they’re one of the most popular types of custom patches today.

✨ What Are Name Patches?

A name patch is a customized patch that displays a person’s name, nickname, or even a short phrase. Instead of printing directly on fabric, the name is embroidered, woven, or printed onto a patch that can be sewn, ironed, or attached with Velcro to clothing and accessories.

They’re widely used in workwear, uniforms, sports gear, and personalized fashion.

🎨 Styles of Name Patches

  • Embroidered Name Patches – Classic raised thread look, durable and professional.

  • Woven Name Patches – Flat, thinner, and perfect for small fonts or detailed lettering.

  • Printed/Sublimated Name Patches – Best for colorful fonts, gradients, or modern looks.
