What it actually is

How name patches are made

A name patch is the small piece that makes a uniform personal. We stitch individual names onto rectangular tapes, ovals or custom shapes, in the thread colours and fonts you choose. Because names are short runs by nature, we handle single pieces and one-off personalisation happily — you do not need to order a hundred of the same name.

Why people choose it

What you get

Single names welcome

Every name can be different — no need to order a batch of the same one.

Classic tape shapes

Rectangular name tapes, ovals, rounded shapes or a custom outline.

Clean, readable fonts

We use fonts chosen to stitch cleanly at small sizes so the name stays crisp.

Velcro for swapping

Velcro backing lets one jacket carry different names as roles change.

Common questions

Name Patches FAQ

Can every patch have a different name?

Yes. Send us the list of names on your quote request and we will stitch each one individually. There is no extra setup charge for name changes within the same design.

What is the smallest readable text?

About 1/4 inch (6mm) tall. On a standard 1 x 4 inch tape, a single name fits comfortably and reads clearly.
