Full-colour printed patches feature a durable dye sublimation print that resists fading and cracking. The embroidered border adds a premium finished edge. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low heat. The print is embedded into the fabric, not sitting on top, so it holds up through repeated washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are full-colour printed patches?

Full-colour printed patches use dye sublimation printing to reproduce your design with unlimited colours, gradients, and photo-quality detail on a twill backing. An embroidered border is stitched around the edge for a clean, professional finish. They're ideal for complex artwork, photographs, and designs that require more detail than embroidery can achieve.

Are your printed patches made in Canada?

Yes — all of our custom printed patches are made in-house at our Canadian production facility. Button Bros has over 50 years of manufacturing experience in Canada.

What is the difference between printed and embroidered patches?

Embroidered patches use thread stitching to create the design — great for simple logos with bold lines and limited colours. Printed patches use full-colour CMYK printing — ideal for photographs, gradients, detailed illustrations, and designs with many colours. Printed patches can reproduce virtually any image with photo-quality accuracy.

Can I put a photograph on a printed patch?

Yes — printed patches are specifically designed for photo-quality reproduction. Our dye sublimation process prints your photograph with full colour accuracy directly onto the twill fabric. Portraits, landscapes, product photos, and detailed artwork all reproduce beautifully.

How detailed can printed patches be?

Extremely detailed. Our dye sublimation process can reproduce fine text, intricate patterns, colour gradients, and photographic detail that would be impossible with embroidery. If you can see it on your screen, we can print it on a patch.

How accurate is the colour matching on printed patches?

Our CMYK dye sublimation process reproduces colours with high accuracy. For brand-critical projects, we provide a free digital proof so you can verify colours before production. Pantone colour matching is available upon request for exact brand colour specifications.

How fast can I get custom printed patches in Canada?

Production takes 2–3 business days from proof approval. Add standard shipping (3–7 business days within Canada) and most orders arrive within a week. Express shipping is available at checkout.

What backing options are available for printed patches?

We offer three backing options: Heat applied (iron-on) — bonds with a heat press or household iron. Peel & stick — adhesive backing for temporary placement or displays. Sew-on — designed to be stitched onto fabric for a permanent hold.
