When it comes to creating custom patches for hats, Vox MG has years of experience under our belts. We know all about the different types of patches available, and the pros and cons of each. But what if you’re a business owner who wants to place an order of promotional hats? Chances are, you probably have more questions than answers about the various hat patches from which you can choose. To help you make an educated decision, here’s a brief guide to the different types of custom patches for hats.
PVC Patches
PVC patches are made from rubber, which makes them durable and reliable for outdoor use. They hold up well to mud, water, and anything else they encounter. Because they’re made from rubber, they can be sculpted to obtain a three-dimensional effect.
Embroidered
Embroidered patches are perfect for high-contrast designs because they can use hundreds of color variants. They are also more textured than some other patches, which means they are visually interesting and can add depth to your hats. Embroidered patches are quick and easy to make, so they’re a wise option if you’re trying to meet a looming deadline.
Woven
Woven patches have a tighter weave than embroidered patches, so they are capable of including very small text on them. If you want to display small letters on your patches, the woven type might be ideal for your needs. Due to their tight weave, woven patches don’t have as much texture as embroidered patches, but they’re one of the best solutions for your small lettering needs.
Leather
Custom leather patches allow you to choose from several different elements to make your patch unique and customized. The base material is the foundation of light, dark, or color stained tones. The border & edge are the shapes of your patch and how edges will be finished.
Printed
Printed images are not considered patches, but are popular for promotional hats because they’re easy to make, affordable, and associated with quick turnaround times. They are made with the same printing technique used to make printed t-shirts. Due to their many benefits, printed hats are commonly used for promotional swag that is given away as prizes or employee incentives.
