Custom Patches in London: Order Online with UK-Wide Delivery

You can order custom patches London-wide from The Customized Patches through our online quote process, with free UK-wide delivery. Send your artwork, quantity and garment details; we provide a free digital mockup usually within 12 hours and produce only after approval.

The minimum is 5 pieces per design, and quotes start from £60. This is a made-to-order, delivered service: plan around artwork approval, production and shipping rather than a walk-in purchase.

Where can I order custom patches London-wide?

Our quote process serves London buyers as part of our United Kingdom-wide service. A London delivery address does not change the mockup process or patch quality: the same material, artwork and attachment decisions apply wherever the order is going.

For a staff polo, prioritise readable branding and an attachment suitable for regular washing. A club jacket may suit a larger crest, while a clothing label needs a flatter, lighter finish. Start with that use, not simply the nearest search result; our UK city pages cover delivery destinations rather than collection points.

Which patch type will reproduce your artwork?

Choose the construction before finalising dimensions. Embroidered patches give bold lettering and simple crests a textured finish, but small lettering and narrow gaps can fill in with thread.

Woven patches suit finer lines and small text; printed patches are better suited to gradients and photographic artwork. Neither removes the need for readable lettering at the finished size.

Check the design at its actual size

Measure the usable garment area, not just the logo on screen. As a hypothetical starting point, a chest badge might be 75 mm (3 inches) wide, but that is not a standard: pocket edges, seams and the design's proportions determine what fits.

Print a paper outline at the proposed dimensions and hold it against the garment. Check the smallest words from a normal viewing distance, and leave space for the border; the detail comparison guide explains when changing material helps more than enlarging the badge.

Which backing suits the garment?

Backing is a separate choice from the patch face. Tell us the fabric, intended position and washing routine: an attachment suitable for a canvas cap may be wrong for a lightweight nylon shell.

• Sew-on: a practical option for regular wear on suitable fabrics. Check access behind pockets and linings before positioning the badge.
• Iron-on: only use on garments that tolerate the required heat. Incomplete bonding or unsuitable washing can cause edges to lift.
• Hook-and-loop: useful for removable identification, but the garment needs a compatible receiving panel.

Do not assume a wool jacket can tolerate pressing, or that sewing through a waterproof shell is harmless. Check the care label and garment construction first; our guide to patches on waterproof jackets explains why needle holes and heat both need consideration.

For a washable polo, consider fabric stretch and the stiffness of a dense badge as well as attachment strength. Read Iron-On vs Sew-On Patches: Which Lasts Longer? before choosing solely on fitting convenience.

What should a London patch quote include?

Quotes start from £60, but that is not a fixed price for every specification or a per-patch price. Size, construction, design complexity, backing and quantity affect the quote; free UK shipping applies to London delivery too.

The minimum is 5 pieces per design, not 5 mixed designs. List separate artwork versions and quantities clearly rather than assuming different names, crests or colour variants can be grouped as one design.

• Attach the clearest artwork available and identify any wording that must remain unchanged.
• Give width and height in millimetres, plus shape and preferred border appearance.
• Specify patch type, backing, garment fabric and quantity for each design.
• Provide the delivery postcode and required arrival date, especially if the patches must be fitted before use.

Compare quotes against the same specification. A smaller woven badge and a larger embroidered badge are different products, even if both carry the same logo.

How do approval, production and delivery work?

The free digital mockup is usually ready within 12 hours; that is an artwork-review timeframe, not a production or delivery promise. Ask for the expected production and shipping schedule against your specification before committing to a deadline.

1. Submit your artwork and specification through our free mockup quote form.
2. Review the quote and mockup together, checking spelling, dimensions, colours, shape and backing.
3. Request corrections before approving. We start production only after approval.
4. Confirm the delivery address and timing, allowing additional time to attach the patches before they are needed.

A digital mockup shows the proposed design, not the physical feel of thread or an exact colour match on every screen. State any colour-matching requirements in the brief, and ask what can be confirmed before approval.

Keep the approved artwork and written specification together so there is a clear reference for production. Ordering Custom Patches Online: What to Expect covers the checks behind each stage.
