Personalised patches and custom name tapes UK

Personalised name patches for uniforms and workwear

Add an individual name, team role, department or small logo to garments, bags and equipment. Embroidered personalised patches provide a textured finish; woven construction can be useful when the design includes smaller lettering. Tell us how each patch will be used so we can recommend practical dimensions and attachment options.

Choose a clear name patch layout

Think about where the name patch will sit and how close people will be when reading it. Short names and role labels can fit in a compact layout, while longer wording may need more width or a simpler type style. Strong contrast between the lettering and patch background helps keep the text legible. If the patch includes a logo, send the original artwork so the name and graphic can be balanced together.

Embroidery gives lettering a stitched, textured appearance. Woven construction creates a flatter surface that may suit smaller lettering and fine line work. The artwork, finished dimensions and material affect how much detail can be retained, so include your intended size with the enquiry.

Prepare names for a team or staff order

For a group order, provide one checked list with every name, title or department exactly as it should appear. Note any differences in colour, layout or size, and identify which names share the same design. This makes it easier to review the set consistently and spot spelling or alignment changes in the proof. You can also include a sample garment or describe the placement if the patches need to match existing uniforms.

Review the proof carefully before production, especially names, punctuation and role labels. Send any corrections together so the final layout reflects the complete order. If you are deciding between embroidered and woven construction, compare the embroidered and woven patch guide.
