Printed Patches

Our printed patches are suitable for a large range of applications including, uniform patches, name patches, sporting club and sports event patches, award or milestone patches, conference patches and cover up patches. If sewn onto a uniform they are easily removed if the garment is damaged and then sewn onto the new garment, saving the cost of having the new piece of clothing embroidered. Our patches are also great as a cover up for sponsors logo’s on football guernseys, when there is a sudden change to a clubs sponsors. This saves the replacement of the expensive clothing.

Introduction of an iron-on backing, Velcro or a temporary Peel & Stick backing allows fast application of a brand or logo to any piece of clothing, cap, hats or baggage with a simple home cloths iron.

Printed patches are extremely versatile, tough and durable. Even under the toughest outdoor and commercial washing conditions they will not easily fade or discolor. With standard and heavy duty commercial grade fabrics we manufacture logo and name patches for commercial laundries, small and large business and many sporting clubs. Many of these organisations choose to use printed patches as their artwork and logo many not be suitable for embroidery or they may need them in a hurry. All of the standard backings and borders that can be applied to embroidered patches can also be applied to printed patches. Our printed patches are also Australian made guaranteeing you only the highest quality product .

Preparation of artwork requires that you provide us with your printed patch artwork in either vector format such as AI, EPS, layered TIFF or PDF or a high resolution raster format such as a JPG, TIFF or a PNG file. Vector artwork is always preferred as this allows us to make changes more easily if required. We can either layout the artwork for you or we can provide you with the template file for you to layout your own artwork.

Are printed patches right for me?

This mainly depends on your design and intended application. If you want the nice look of embroidery and you are willing to compromise on artwork modifications if required, then embroidered patches are most likely for you. If you have very detailed and complex artwork that cannot be easily modified without taking away major elements or the look of your design then printed patches may the right choice.

 
Limitation of Printed Patches

In relation to your artwork or design printed patches do have some limitations. Due to the fact that we are sublimating / printing onto a poly-ester twill base, the resolution of the print will not be as high as if it were on paper, however the vividness and brightness of teh inks colours will be better than waht can be achieved with a standard printing printing on normal paper. As sublimation printing turns a solid, in this case the ink into a gas we can occasionally have issues with very fine lines such as a fine white line on a black background. To avoid these problems we rccommend that you increase you line weight to a minimum of 0.5mm in these circumstances. However if you are printing a fine black line on a white background then generally fine lines will not be an issue.

Printed Patches
Patch Gradients

When it comes to gradients, where one colour blends into another, custom printed patches are king. Gradients are not an issue with printed patches. In fact we can produce any gradient with greater vibrancy than any paper based print.

Patch Materials

When it comes to manufacturing a high quality product, the type of materials you use will play a large part in not only the overall look and feel of the patch but also the longevity, washability and its ability to stand up to the wide variety of applications that they can be used in. Zen Promotional only use the best quality polyested, sublimation inks, release papers & iron-on heats seals. Our printed patches and sublimation inks have good UV resistance, so your patchs will last as long as your uniform. Our patches are designed to stand up to commercial washing and will not release dye or stain your other garments. Our iron-on heat seal is an imported product from the USA which has excellent adhesion compared to other cheaper heat seals.

Patch Applications

Custom printed cloth patches can be used for many applications. Their main use is for branding of clothing, such as emergency services, commercial and military uniforms, hats, work wear, sportswear and branded clothing lines. However they can also be used for branding luggage, bags or other items where a high quality logo or brand is required.
