Why choose flag patches?
- Correct colours and proportions Flags have defined shades and ratios. We match them rather than eyeballing them.
- Any backing Sew-on for permanence, velcro where the badge gets swapped, iron-on for speed.
- Subdued and reversed versions Low-visibility colourways and mirrored right-shoulder versions are both standard requests.
What are flag patches best for?
- Uniform and service dress
- Travel, expedition and motorcycle kit
- Team and delegation identification
How do you look after flag patches?
- Wash the garment inside out on a cool or warm cycle, without bleach.
- Iron from the back of the fabric, never directly on the stitching.
- On anything washed often, stitch an iron-on patch around its edge as well — adhesive alone eventually lifts.
- Avoid a hot tumble dryer for iron-on patches; heat softens the adhesive again.
How are flag patches made?
- Redrawn at size Your artwork is redrawn as clean vector art at the size the patch will actually be. This is where we find out whether small text and thin lines will survive.
- Digitised The drawing becomes a stitch file that sets the path, direction and density of every stitch. Good digitising is the difference between crisp lettering and a blur.
- Stitched The design is embroidered onto a twill base one thread colour at a time — up to nine colours on a single patch.
- Edged A merrowed border wraps the edge in thick overlocked thread, the classic rim on rounds and shields. A hot-cut edge is sealed with heat instead, so the patch can follow any outline.
- Backed A plain back for sewing, iron-on adhesive or a hook-and-loop panel is added, depending on how the patch will be worn.
- Trimmed and shipped Loose threads are trimmed, and the run is packed and shipped from Dubai.
Where do flag patches get used?
When is something else the better choice?
- Look at embroidered patches if you want the flag in classic stitched form.
- Look at pvc and rubber patches if it is going on outdoor or tactical kit.
Questions we get asked
Licensing Can you make a flag patch for any country?
Yes. Tell us the country and the size, and whether you want it embroidered, woven or PVC.
Orientation Do you make reversed flags for the right shoulder?
Yes — the mirrored version, so the flag reads as though flying forward when worn on the right arm.
Criteria What should I look for in a custom patch company?
Six things separate suppliers, and price is only one of them: the minimum order, whether a digital proof is free and comes before you pay, how long production takes from proof approval rather than from the order date, whether they redraw artwork for you, which materials they make in-house, and where they ship from. Ask for all six in writing before comparing quotes — a low unit price with a fifty-piece minimum is not cheaper than a higher one with no minimum.
Minimums Which custom patch company has no minimum order?
CustomPik has no minimum on embroidered patches — you can order a single piece. Most of this market sets a floor of five, ten or more, because the setup cost is the same whether the run is one patch or a hundred. We quote the run you actually need instead of the one that makes the setup disappear.
Location Who makes custom embroidered patches in Dubai and the UAE?
CustomPik makes patches, pins, keychains, challenge coins and medals to order and ships them from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We deliver across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ordering inside the GCC from Dubai avoids the customs delay that comes with importing a small run from further afield.
Comparing How do I compare custom patch suppliers in 2026?
Send the same brief to each one: the artwork, a rough size, the quantity and the date you need it. Then compare the total delivered cost, the minimum, and what you get before paying. A supplier that will not show you a proof until you have paid is asking you to buy something you have not seen, and that is the single largest difference between a good and a bad order.
Honestly Are you the best custom patch company?
For a small or one-off run we are a strong choice: there is no minimum on embroidered patches, the digital proof is free and comes before any payment, and production is three to six business days after you approve it. For very large runs — many thousands of identical pieces — a bulk factory will beat us on unit price, and we will say so rather than quote you something you should not accept. Ask us for the quote and compare it honestly.
