Custom Patch Types Available in Halifax

Button Bros offers the widest selection of custom patch types available from any Canadian manufacturer. Here is a full breakdown of every patch type we produce, with pricing and recommended use cases for Halifax customers:

Embroidered Patches

Embroidered patches are the classic, timeless option — stitched thread on a twill backing for a textured, professional look. Available in any shape, size, and colour combination. The most popular choice for military unit patches, sports team crests, and organizational badges. Embroidered patches Halifax military units, hockey teams, and first responders order are built to last through washing, wear, and heavy-duty use. From $2.00/ea at 500+ units for a 3 inch patch. Order embroidered patches.

3D Puff Embroidered Patches

3D puff patches add raised, textured dimension to your design — the letters and elements literally stand up from the patch surface. Popular for hat patches, athletic patches, and premium branding where visual impact matters. Great for Mooseheads fan patches, university athletics, and branded caps. Order 3D puff patches.

Printed Patches

Printed patches use full-colour sublimation printing for photographic detail, gradients, and complex artwork that embroidery cannot reproduce. Ideal for designs with many colours, small text, or photographic elements. Popular with Halifax bands, NSCAD artists, and organizations with detailed logos. From $1.75/ea at 500+ units. Order printed patches.

Woven Patches

Woven patches use thinner threads than embroidered patches, allowing finer detail and smoother surfaces. They look more refined and are ideal for intricate designs, small text, and detailed logos. Popular for corporate uniforms, name patches, and organizations that need crisp, readable text on smaller patches.

Leather Patches

Leather patches are debossed or laser-engraved on genuine or vegan leather for a premium, rugged aesthetic. Popular for hats, jackets, bags, and outdoor brands. Halifax’s Maritime and nautical heritage makes leather patches especially popular for brands inspired by the sea. From $2.50/ea at 100+ units. Order leather patches.

Chenille Patches

Chenille patches feature a soft, fuzzy texture (like a varsity letter jacket). Popular for letterman-style jackets, retro branding, and university athletics. Dal Tigers and SMU Huskies student groups love chenille patches for their classic collegiate feel.

Name Patches

Name patches are embroidered or printed with individual names, titles, or numbers. Essential for military uniforms, first responder gear, work uniforms, and sports jerseys. Military patches Halifax units order frequently include name tapes for personnel identification. Order name patches.

Backing Options

• Iron-on — Heat-activated adhesive for easy home application
• Velcro (hook and loop) — Removable, interchangeable. The standard for military and tactical patches. Navy patches Halifax crews prefer velcro for easy on/off
• Sew-on — Permanent attachment for uniforms and jackets
• Adhesive (sticker back) — Peel-and-stick for temporary or display use

All backing options available on all patch types. Read our complete custom patches guide for detailed comparisons.

Who Orders Custom Patches in Halifax?

Custom patches Halifax are used by a wide range of organizations, teams, and businesses across the city and Nova Scotia. Here are the most common use cases with local references:

Military and Navy

CFB Halifax is Canada’s largest naval base, and navy patches are Halifax’s number one patch use case. The base is home to HMCS Stadacona, HMC Dockyard (Canada’s largest naval dockyard), and serves as the home port for the Royal Canadian Navy’s Atlantic fleet. Halifax-class frigate crews, Maritime Forces Atlantic units, shore establishment personnel, naval reserve units, and support staff all order custom patches for unit identification, ship crests, deployment patches, mess patches, and commemorative events. Military patches Halifax units order include embroidered unit crests, velcro morale patches, name tapes, rank insignia, and deployment commemoratives.

Navy patches Halifax are our single highest-volume patch category from this city. Button Bros understands the specific requirements of military patch orders including velcro backing, merrowed borders, and precise colour matching to unit standards.

Hockey Teams

The Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL) are one of the most popular major junior hockey teams in Atlantic Canada, and minor hockey across Halifax Regional Municipality is enormous. Custom patches are used for team crests on jerseys, tournament patches, championship commemoratives, and coaching staff identification. Button Bros produces patches for Mooseheads fan groups, minor hockey associations across HRM, and beer league teams throughout the city. Embroidered patches Halifax hockey teams order for jerseys and jackets are durable enough to withstand repeated washing and game-day wear.

Universities

Dalhousie University (Dal Tigers), Saint Mary’s University (SMU Huskies), NSCAD University, Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU), and University of King’s College all generate demand for custom patches.

Custom patches Halifax universities trust Button Bros for quality that matches the prestige of their institutions.

First Responders

Halifax Regional Police, Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency, Nova Scotia RCMP, paramedic services, and search and rescue teams across the province order custom patches for uniform identification, unit crests, commemorative patches, and charity event patches. First responder patches require precise colour matching, durable construction, and professional finishing — Button Bros delivers on all three. Embroidered patches Halifax first responders trust for uniform-grade quality and fast turnaround.

Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo

The International Tattoo is one of the largest indoor military tattoos in the world, held every summer at the Scotiabank Centre. Crew patches, volunteer coordinator patches, performer identification patches, and commemorative event patches are all essential for this massive annual production. Custom patches serve as both functional identification and collectible souvenirs for this iconic Halifax event.

Fishing and Maritime Industry

Crew patches for fishing vessels, fleet identification patches, company patches for maritime businesses, and safety patches for harbour operations are all popular orders. Custom patches Halifax maritime industry customers trust are built to withstand the demanding conditions of life on the water.

Celtic and Scottish Organizations

Clan patches, Highland games patches, Celtic music festival patches (including Celtic Colours in Cape Breton), pipe band patches, and heritage organization patches are popular across the province. Embroidered clan crests and tartan-inspired designs are especially popular with Nova Scotia’s Scottish heritage community.
