No. Custom Iron On Patch offers strict no-minimum ordering. You can order a single personalized name patch for yourself or thousands for an entire corporate employee uniform program.
The industry-standard work shirt name patch is 3.5" x 2" in an oval or rectangle. Tactical name tapes are typically 1" tall by 4" to 5" wide, and flight suit pilot patches are usually 2" x 4". We also manufacture any custom size.
Iron-on name patches are semi-permanent. Applied with proper heat and pressure, they withstand routine residential wash cycles. For garments subjected to industrial heavy-wash laundering, we recommend adding a few edge stitches or choosing sew-on backing.
Choose Velcro (hook-and-loop) if you need to swap names between team members, tactical vests, or remove patches prior to laundering. Choose Sew-On backing for the most permanent, fray-proof hold on work shirts and coveralls.
