    Why Would Anyone Get Photo Patches

    Photo patches render the best detailing of your images. Unlike embroidered ones that rely on rough embroidery, photo-patches have a much smoother surface that showcases your image in H.D. quality. It’s a heart-warming emblem that cherishes things from the past. And means different things to different people:

    • Family Keepsakes: People, in particular, get photo patches for family memories, say a birthday, a wedding from 1978, or anything that brings together loved ones in a single frame, which can be proudly photo patched on our jackets, quilts, and whatnot.
    • Club Things: From member invitations to honorary ceremonies, people get photo patches.
    • Holidays: Vacations, particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas, are often remembered with photo patches. For crisp and appreciative custom-made photo patches, order now at Elegant Patches.

    How are photo patches made?

    Our process of making custom picture patches is easy as cake; here it goes:

    Printing your photo:

    First order of business, we start printing your digital photo on a special sublimation paper via our Sawgrass SG1000 sublimation printer (This makes it easy for us to create vibrant & H.D. images).

    Transfer the Image:

    To make sure that the photo is crisp and clear, we use a heat press to transfer the printed image to a piece of white patch material.

    Stabilize the Patch:

    To give the patch the right stability, we apply a layer of Heat Spun to the back of the patch material. With this, we make sure that the patch holds its shape without getting drifted away.

    Embroider the Border:

    We then hoop the patch and place it in an embroidery machine, like the Avance 1501C. This step is added for a durable embroidered border around your patch.

    Apply Heat Seal:

    To make the patch ready for application, we add Heat Seal to the back. This allows the patch to be easily heat-applied onto any item.

    Cut & Finish:

    We use a hot knife to cut out the patch, sealing the edges to prevent fraying. 

    The patch is now ready to be applied to all your garments. Happy patching!

    FAQs

    1How do I take care of my photo patches?

    To keep your patches looking fresh, store them with their rough sides facing each other. Wash them on a cold cycle & let them air-dry naturally (P.S.: no machine drying). Also, make sure to skip fabric softeners and do not iron them; otherwise, they will get damaged.

    2How do you patch pictures together?

    Oh, that's easy. Go to Adobe Express and search for collage style. Then, drag & drop your images in the template or apply a layout to your project, and join us to create the best custom image embroidery patches ever made.

    3What is image patch size?

    Patches size in a variety of aspect ratios & dimensions. From tiny 32*32 px to as large as 512*512, custom photo patches can be customized as per your preferences.
