How to Order Custom Patches with Artex Custom Patches

Ordering custom patches should be simple—and with Artex Custom Patches, it is. Whether you’re creating patches for uniforms, retail, events, or branding, we’ve streamlined the process so you can go from idea to finished product with ease. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

Choose Your Patch Type

The first step is deciding which type of patch best fits your design and end use. At Artex, we offer several options:

  • Embroidered Patches – The most traditional style, great for bold designs and a textured look
  • Woven Patches – Ideal for small text and fine detail
  • Dye Sublimated Patches – Perfect for gradients, shading, and highly detailed artwork
  • PVC Patches – Durable, flexible, and weather-resistant with a modern look
  • Leather Patches – A premium option, popular for hats and upscale branding

Not sure which one is best? Our team is happy to guide you based on your design.

Send Us Your Design

Once you’ve chosen your patch type, simply send us your artwork. Be sure to include:

  • Your design file (AI, PNG, JPG, etc.)
  • The size of your patch (measured at the widest and tallest points)

Even if your design isn’t perfect, we can help refine it for production.

Select Your Backing

Next, let us know how you’d like your patch to be applied. We offer several backing options:

  • Iron-on backing – Easy heat application
  • Plastic backing – Great for structure and durability (sew-on)
  • Velcro backing – Ideal for uniforms and removable patches
  • Sticker backing – Perfect for temporary or promotional use

Your intended use will help determine the best option.

Receive Your Quote

Once we have your design, size, patch type, and backing choice, we’ll send you a detailed quote. Our pricing is based on:

  • Patch type
  • Size and complexity
  • Number of colors
  • Order quantity

Approve Your Digital Scan

After placing your order, we’ll create a digital scan (proof) of your patch. This step is important—you’ll be able to:

  • Review colors
  • Check design details
  • Request any final adjustments

We won’t move forward until you’ve given your approval.

Production Begins

Once your proof is approved, we move into production.

  • Typical production time: 2–4 weeks
  • Timing may vary depending on design complexity and order size

We’ll keep you updated along the way so you know exactly what to expect.
