A small detail. A strong impression.
Detailed colour
Keep multi-colour artwork and gradients within the printed design.
Defined edges
An embroidered border frames your artwork with a classic stitched finish.
Flexible artwork
A useful choice for illustrations and logos with complex colour combinations.
The detail makes the difference
Full-colour detail with an embroidered finish
DTF embroidered patches combine printed artwork on your chosen twill base with a stitched edge. The printed centre supports a broad colour palette, including gradients, while the border gives the piece a defined patch finish.
This style is a useful option for logos with colour transitions or details that are difficult to recreate entirely in thread. Send a high-resolution file so we can assess clarity at your finished size.
Pressing Matters helps businesses, teams, and organizations choose custom patches from our Burnaby shop, serving Vancouver and customers across Canada.
