The More You Order, The Less Each Patch Costs
The more patches you order, the less each one costs. Small orders, like 10 or 25 patches, pay their own shipping and taxes, so every patch ends up costing more. From 100 patches we give you free shipping with no extra taxes, which makes each patch much cheaper. Move the slider to your quantity and see what your order unlocks.

Why Choose Custom Morale Patches?
Morale patches build team spirit. A custom patch with your unit's joke, mascot or motto turns gear into something your crew is proud to wear.
Choose PVC for a tough, waterproof patch with raised detail, or embroidery for a classic stitched look. Velcro backing lets you swap patches on any loop panel in seconds.
There are no minimums and no setup fees, so you can order one for yourself or enough for the whole team. You see a free digital proof before anything is made.
Which Backing Is Right for Your Morale Patches?
Choose the backing by where the patch will go:
- Velcro (Hook and Loop): The standard for morale patches: fits any loop panel on gear, packs and caps and swaps in seconds.
- Sew-on: Stitched on for a permanent hold on bags and jackets.
- Iron-on: Heat-activated adhesive for cotton and canvas, so no sewing is needed.
- Adhesive: Peel-and-stick for short-term use and events.
How Morale Patches Are Applied
Pick the backing on your patch to see the right steps.
123- Stitches The plain back of the patch, no film or glue
- Edge Merrowed border to sew through
- Fabric Plain twill back, nothing to wear off
Sew-on: The most permanent option, and the one that holds up to heavy daily wear.
-
1
Position the patch
Lay it where you want it and check the placement from a step back before you commit.
-
2
Hold it in place
Secure it with pins or a few temporary basting stitches so it cannot shift while you sew.
-
3
Stitch around the edge
Use a needle and thread that matches the patch border, and sew all the way around the edge, passing through the garment fabric.
-
4
Finish the thread
Knot the thread on the inside, trim the ends, and remove the pins.
123- Glue film Heat-activated film over the whole back
- Coverage Reaches right up to the border
- Bond Melts into the fabric under the iron
Iron-on: Heat-activated adhesive, pressed on with a household iron. No sewing needed.
Only for fabrics that can take heat. Check the garment's care label first, and skip this method on anything marked do-not-iron.
-
1
Check the garment
Read the care label. Only use heat on fabric that is safe to iron, and iron the spot flat first so the patch sits smoothly.
-
2
Position the patch
Place it adhesive side down exactly where you want it. Check the position before any heat touches it.
-
3
Press with heat
Cover the patch with a thin cloth and press with a household iron, using the temperature and time on the instructions supplied with your patch. Use firm, even pressure.
-
4
Let it cool
Leave it undisturbed until the patch and fabric have cooled so the adhesive can set.
-
5
Check the edges
If an edge lifts, re-press with the cloth barrier for a few seconds. Turn the garment inside out before washing.
123- Hook side Stiff hooks grip a loop panel
- Edge Sewn on all the way round
- Reuse Pull off and press on again
Velcro (hook and loop): Hook-and-loop backing lets you swap a patch between bags, jackets and gear.
Velcro only holds on a loop surface. A plain fabric garment needs a loop panel first.
-
1
Check the receiving surface
The patch carries the hook side. It needs a matching loop surface, such as the loop panel on tactical gear or a loop panel attached to your garment or bag.
-
2
Attach the loop panel
If your item has no loop surface, sew a loop panel in the position you want the patch to sit.
-
3
Press the patch on
Line the patch up with the loop surface and press firmly so the hooks grip.
-
4
Swap or remove
Peel it off whenever you like and move it to another item. Keep the hook side free of lint and thread buildup.
123- Liner Paper liner keeps the glue clean
- Glue Sticky layer under the liner
- Peel Peel the liner, then press on
Adhesive: A peel-and-press backing for quick, no-tool attachment.
For anything that will be washed or worn hard, sew-on is the most permanent option.
-
1
Prepare the surface
Make sure the spot is clean and dry, with no dust, lint or oil.
-
2
Position the patch
Hold the patch over the spot and check where it will sit before you peel anything.
-
3
Peel and press
Remove the backing paper and press the patch down firmly, working from the centre to the edges.
-
4
Hold it in place
Keep pressure on it for a few moments so it sits flat, then check that the edges are down.
