Custom Shirt Patches

Stitch Patches Canada produces them in embroidered, woven, PVC, chenille and printed styles for T-shirts, polo shirts, work shirts, uniforms and mechanic shirts.
Custom patches can be tailored to your design, shirt type, material, size and backing for a practical, professional finish.
You choose the patch style, size, shape and backing that suit your shirt, then provide the logo, name, artwork or design you want turned into a finished patch. This makes custom patches a practical option whether you’re personalizing your own clothing or outfitting a business, team, club or organization. The same design can be produced consistently across shirts or applied to a single one.

Custom Patches for T-Shirts, Polos and Work Shirts
Custom patches for shirts are made-to-order emblems applied to everyday and professional clothing to add a logo, name, or design in a way that looks intentional and consistent across garments. They can be produced for T-shirts, long sleeve shirts, polo shirts, golf shirts, flannel shirts, uniforms and workwear, with the patch style adjusted to suit each fabric and use.
Custom T shirt patches work well for personal designs, artwork or text, while custom embroidery patches for polo shirts suit branded and business apparel where a smaller, cleaner look is needed. For businesses and trades, custom work shirt patches and custom name patches help identify employees by name or role while keeping uniforms visually consistent across a team.
Whether the shirt is casual clothing or part of a uniform program, the patch can be sized and styled to match both the garment and the design behind it.
Which Material Is Best for Custom Shirt Patches?
The best material for shirt patches depends on your artwork, the shirt type, and the look you’re after. Embroidered patches remain the classic choice for logos, names and bold designs, giving a textured, stitched finish. Woven patches offer a smoother surface, better suited to smaller details and fine text. PVC patches bring a modern raised look while chenille patches add a soft, textured finish for bolder designs. For artwork with intricate graphics or gradients that are hard to reproduce with stitching, printed patches are the better fit. Not sure which material suits your design? Send it over and we’ll help you choose.
Which Backing Is Best for Your Shirt?
The best backing depends on your shirt and how the patch will be used. Custom iron on patches for shirts are a convenient option when you want a quick, heat-applied finish, and custom iron on shirt patches work well on most T-shirts, casual shirts and other apparel where the fabric can handle heat. Sew-on backing is the more traditional route, holding up well on workwear, uniforms and shirts that see frequent use. Hook-and-loop backing lets patches be swapped or removed, which suits uniforms and identification patches that change over time. Tell us about your garment and how it’ll be worn, and we’ll recommend the right backing for it.
