Football clubs & academies
Badges for the club
Crest patches for kit, pin badges for members, keyrings for the club shop. Grassroots clubs and academies order all three and rarely in the quantities a factory wants to hear, which is the gap we are built for.
Grassroots clubs, academies, supporters groups and five-a-side leagues.
What this audience orders
Why teams like yours order from us
-
Your crest, drawn properly
A club crest carries lettering, a date and often a motto, all of which stop reading below a certain size. We set the stitch path so the name holds and tell you before production if the founding year will not.
-
Colours matched, not approximated
Club colours are the club. We match thread to your reference rather than to the nearest stock cone, and the proof shows you the match before anything runs.
-
Kit, members and the shop
The same crest becomes a sleeve patch, a lapel pin and a keyring. Ordering them together means one artwork setup rather than three.
-
Sizes for age groups
An under-9 shirt cannot carry the same badge as an adult one. We scale the artwork per age group instead of shrinking one file and hoping.
-
No minimum order
On embroidered patches. Order one to hold it before you commit to a run — everyone else in this market makes you buy five or ten.
-
Free digital proof
You see exactly what will be made, and nothing goes into production until you approve it.
-
3–6 days production
Business days, counted from your approval. Shipping is additional and depends on the destination.
Questions we get asked
Artwork Can you make a patch of a professional club badge?
Only if you hold the rights to it. Club crests are trademarks, and we produce artwork the customer is entitled to supply. For your own club, academy or supporters group, that is you — send the crest and we will make it.
Sizing We need different sizes for different age groups.
Normal, and we scale the artwork for each rather than resizing one file. Give us the shirt sizes and we will propose a badge size per group.
Delivery How long before we have them?
Production runs three to six working days once the proof is approved, with delivery on top. If you have a season start to hit, tell us the date and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Backing Iron-on or sew-on for kit?
Sew-on for anything washed weekly for a season. Iron-on holds the position while you stitch, which is the easy way to do it, but on its own it will eventually lift under repeated hot washes.
Lead time How long does an order take?
Production runs 3 to 6 business days, counted from the moment you approve the proof — not from when you place the order. Shipping is on top of that and depends on the destination and the service you choose.
Timing When does the clock start?
At proof approval. Nothing is cut, stitched or struck until you have seen the digital proof and said yes, so a slow approval moves the finish date with it.
Destinations Where do you ship?
We make to order and ship from Dubai across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ask us for anywhere else — it is usually possible.
Minimums Is there a minimum order?
Not on embroidered patches — order one if one is what you need. Moulded and struck lines carry a minimum because they need tooling, and the quote states it before you commit to anything.
File types What artwork do you need from me?
Vector is ideal — AI, EPS or PDF. We also take PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF, PSD, GIF and ZIP, and honestly a clear photograph of a sketch is enough to quote from and start on.
No artwork What if I do not have artwork yet?
Send the idea — a rough drawing, a reference you like, or a description. We draw it up and send it back as a proof for you to approve before anything is made.
Proofs Do I see it before it is made?
Always. You get a free digital proof and nothing goes into production until you approve it. If it is not right, say so and we change it.
Contact How do I reach a person?
WhatsApp on +971 52 933 2878 is fastest, or email info@custompik.com. A person answers — there is no ticket queue between you and the people making the thing.
Quotes How do I get a price?
Send the artwork and the quantity and we come back with a fixed quote. Nothing on this site is charged automatically and you pay nothing up front.
Problems What if something arrives wrong?
Tell us and send a photograph. The proof you approved is the reference — if what arrived does not match it, that is on us to put right.
Not on this list?
These pages exist because that is where people search, not because the range stops there. We have made badges for bands, clinics, security firms, cadet corps, charities, restaurants, martial arts clubs, conventions and a fair few things we still cannot categorise.
Send the artwork and we will send back a digital proof before anything is made. Artwork and a number is the whole requirement.
