A small detail. A strong impression.
Two complementary finishes
Bring printed colour and stitched texture into one patch.
Gradients retained
Use print for smooth colour transitions within the design.
Artwork-led construction
Choose the mix of print and embroidery around your logo rather than forcing one technique.
The detail makes the difference
The texture of thread. The flexibility of print.
Hybrid patches blend embroidered elements with printed artwork. Thread adds depth and texture, while print handles colour transitions and visual details that do not translate easily into embroidery.
Send your logo or illustration and we will review which areas should be stitched and which should be printed. The balance is tailored to the design and finished patch size.
Pressing Matters helps businesses, teams, and organizations choose custom patches from our Burnaby shop, serving Vancouver and customers across Canada.

Follow the garment care label and the application instructions supplied with your order. Gentle washing and avoiding high heat help protect the decorated item.
What does a custom patch cost, and how long will it take?
