Creative Uses for Custom Sewn-On Patches
When people think patches, they usually think hats or backpacks. But at DLH Screen Print, we're helping brands use custom sewn-on patches in way more creative (and useful) ways.
If you're unsure about ordering patches, here are some quick ideas to spark inspiration:
Why Patches Work
They add texture, last longer than prints, and elevate anything they touch. Best part? They're perfect for items that don't get washed often.
Patch-Perfect Ideas:
1. Tote Bags – Swap paper bags for branded canvas totes with a stitched patch. Instant upgrade.
2. Aprons – Great for cafes, florists, barbershops—adds a custom, pro look.
3. Duffels & Gear Bags – Use patches to personalize team bags, welcome kits, or retreat gear.
4. Pet Bandanas – A patch on a pup is always a hit. Great for events or brand photos.
5. Blankets & Picnic Rolls – Cozy giveaways with a logo patch? Yes, please.
6. Tool Rolls & Utility Pouches – Functional gifts with a branded twist.
7. Camp Chairs – Outdoor events? Add a patch to the backrest = VIP vibes.
Let’s Make Something They’ll Keep
Patches are small but mighty. They stick around, get noticed, and make merch feel extra special.
