How fast can I get my badges?

How can I iron the badges on clothing?
Before ironing, ensure the iron-on backing of the badge is clean. Set your iron to 150–170 °C (check your garment's heat tolerance).

• Do not use steam.

• Place the badge in position and press the iron down firmly for 30–40 seconds.

• Then (if possible), flip the garment and press from the back side for 20 seconds.

• To protect the badge, place a thin white cotton cloth (like a handkerchief or sheet) between the iron and the badge. Avoid using colored cloths, as they may transfer dye.

For the best results, secure the badge with a few stitches after ironing — this ensures long-term durability, especially with washing and wear.

Disclaimer: You are responsible for applying the badge. We are not liable for any damage caused by following these instructions.

Embroidered emblems/badges/patches are great for simple designs with clear colors and lines.

For example, we need approx. 2 mm to 3 mm space to embroider a letter clearly.

No color overflow can be displayed when embroidering.

We can embroider the badges up to 9 colors as standard, if it is needed we can embroidered up to 13 colors. 

If you provide us the PMS color codes of your design, we can match the color of the threads more closely to your design.

Embroidery badges with many details

What are the backing options?

• With iron-on layer / glue layer: with us the badges are provided with a iron-on layer / glue layer as standard with which you can iron the badges on the garment. Sometimes it is useful that you first iron on the badge and then possibly sew it on.
• Without glue layer / iron-on layer: Because the badges with iron-on layer / glue layer are sturdy and slightly thicker, it is slightly more difficult to stitch them. Emblems and badges or patches without an iron-on or glue layer are easier to stitch.
• Velcro / velcro: You can have your emblems and badges or patches fitted with velcro / velcro. We supply the badges with double-sided Velcro / Velcro at low costs. The hard Velcro with hooks are already sewn onto the badges by us and we also supply the soft Velcro.
• Self-adhesive embroidered badges: For temporary placement of your embroidered badges on your garment, we can provide the badges with self-adhesive layer of glue. You can easily remove them after use.

Edge/border types

• Overlocked/merrowed edge: A larger, rounded edges sewed around the badges.  suitable for regular shape, without sharp points in and jagged edge. Merrowed edge has a standard size width of around  2.5-5mm and cannot be adjusted. 
• Heat cut edge: a thinner, flatter embroidered border and cut out precisely by using laser. it can be applied to all kind of shape, regular or irregular with sharp points in and jagged edges. The heat cut edges can be made to 1mm or bigger. 

We apply, as standard,  heat cut edges to your badges. The badges with heat cut edges give a more nice appearance or finishing when they are ironed on or sewn on the clothes. Especially, when  the badges have iron-on backing,  they fit much better during ironing.  Furhermre, for small badges, the merrowed edge look domimant. 

However, merrowed edge give a classic and aesthetics look. Also merrowed edge is machine sewn, the finishing is better than heat cut edges. 

When the badges have velcro backing, we recommend using merrowed edge.
