AP Patches All-purpose patches, badges & pins

01 / The right patch for merch

Where is it going? That decides the patch and the backing.

Merch-table patches are sold loose, jackets want raised thread, logos with lettering want woven. Pick by where it is going and the price stays the same for embroidered and woven.

06 / What bands ask

Before the tour

Anything else, email sales@appatches.co.uk.

Do you make back patches?

Patches are 50 to 100 mm across the widest point online. For a bigger back patch, ask us for a quote with the artwork and the size.

Can we sell them in our own store?

Yes. They are yours to sell however you like. Reorder from the same proof when the run sells out.

Can you print a photo or a gradient?

Not in thread or enamel: solid colours only, so we simplify photos and gradients on the proof and show you before anything is made. For a photo-real printed patch, ask us for a quote.

What is the minimum?

50 per design, then in steps of 10. Several designs in one order are fine, each with its own 50.

How long does it take?

Your proof follows by email, then 4 to 6 weeks of making from the day you approve it, then delivery.

Can we pay by invoice?

Yes, for labels, promoters and registered businesses. Choose invoice or purchase order at checkout. We email an invoice when you order and start your proof once it is paid by bank transfer.
