Why Choose Embroidery?
Embroidered patches are the classics — bold, raised and built to last. If your design has strong shapes and solid colours, embroidery adds depth and texture that stand out.
💡 Think: Scout badges, sports clubs, martial arts uniforms, tradie workwear.

- Look & feel: Textured, raised stitching with that classic patch vibe.
- Limitations: Fine lines and small text can close up.
