Custom UV TPU Badges with a Two-Step Approval Process

Free mockup, expert design checks, and no upfront payment required.

UV TPU badges are a modern badge solution designed for brands that require flexibility, durability, and sharp printed detail.
Specifically, UV TPU badges combine thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with UV printing technology, allowing logos and artwork to be reproduced with vibrant colour and clean definition.

Furthermore, with over 35+ years of embroidery and badge manufacturing experience and more than 1.5 million designs digitised, we understand how artwork behaves when produced as a physical badge.
As a result, our process focuses on accuracy, colour consistency, and production reliability.

Why Choose UV TPU Badges?

UV TPU badges combine the flexibility of TPU rubber badges with the precision of UV printed badges.
Consequently, they are ideal for modern branding where clear logos and vibrant colours are important.

Flexible TPU construction — bends naturally with garments and accessories
High-definition UV printing — suitable for logos, gradients, and detailed artwork
Consistent colour reproduction — colours remain vibrant over time
Smooth professional finish — clean and modern badge appearance
Durable structure — resistant to cracking and everyday wear

Design & Finish Options

Because UV badges are printed onto a moulded TPU base, they allow greater freedom in artwork compared with traditional stitched badges.
In addition, UV printing makes it possible to reproduce complex logos and colour-rich designs.

Flat TPU badge structures with UV printed artwork
Full-colour UV printed logos and graphics
Smooth matte or gloss surface finishes
Gradient colours and detailed branding
Custom badge shapes with controlled thickness

As a result, UV TPU badges help brands achieve a clean and modern branding style while maintaining flexibility and durability.

Applications & Uses

Thanks to their flexible structure and sharp printed graphics, UV badges are widely used in modern garment decoration and branding.
Therefore, they are commonly selected for products that require both durability and a contemporary look.

Sportswear and performance clothing
Caps, backpacks, and accessories
Streetwear and fashion garments
Corporate uniforms and workwear
Promotional merchandise and branded products

Many customers also choose heat seal UV badges because they can be applied easily using a heat press.

Production, MOQ & Delivery

We manufacture UV TPU badges and heat seal UV badges using controlled moulding and printing processes to ensure consistent colour, clean edges, and reliable badge quality across every batch.
Consequently, what you approve is exactly what goes into production.

Minimum order: 100 pieces per design
Delivery: Typically 2–3 weeks from final approval

How Our Two-Step Approval Process Protects Your Order

Unlike automated systems, our specialists manually review every UV TPU badge design before production.
As a result, potential issues are identified early and corrected before manufacturing begins.

Step 1: Digital Mock-up Approval
We create a detailed digital mock-up showing colours, badge shape, thickness, and UV printed artwork.

Step 2: Production Sample Photo Approval
Once approved, we produce a physical badge sample and provide clear photographs for final confirmation.

Only after this approval does full production begin.

Upgrade Your Brand with UV TPU Badges

If you need flexible badges with vibrant colours and sharp logo detail, UV TPU badges and heat seal UV badgesare a reliable modern solution.
Therefore, share your artwork or idea with our team, and we will guide you through the most suitable badge size, finish, and production options.

Printed Badges & Printed Patches — Fast, Simple & Fixed Pricing

Our printed badges and printed patches are one of the fastest and most straightforward ways to order custom badges. They are produced using a high-quality sublimation printing process on polyester twill, which delivers vibrant colour, smooth detail, and excellent durability.
”
Because the ink is fused directly into the fabric rather than sitting on the surface, the print will not crack, peel, or flake over time. As a result, printed badges are ideal for short runs, events, uniforms, promotions, and projects where speed and consistency matter.

Fixed-Price Printed Badges (Up to 9 cm)

All our printed badges fall under a fixed pricing model for sizes up to 9 cm tall. This keeps ordering simple and transparent, with no surprises at checkout.

No setup fees
No artwork charges for standard files
No hidden costs
Clear, predictable pricing

You can choose between laser-cut edges for a clean, modern look or satin-stitched borders for added structure and durability.

How Our Printed Badges Are Made

We use a sublimation printing method on polyester twill. Unlike surface printing, this process permanently dyes the ink into the fabric itself, rather than sitting on top of the material.

The print becomes part of the badge fabric
Colours remain vibrant over time
The surface stays smooth and flexible
The badge performs well with regular wear

Because of this, printed badges are especially well-suited for full-colour designs, gradients, fine detail, and photographic artwork.

Application & Ordering Options

Backing Options

Iron-on backing for quick application
Hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing for removable use

Order Quantities

Minimum order: 25 pieces
Fixed-price maximum: 100 pieces

Why pricing changes above 100 pieces:
Orders above 100 pieces require different production batching and scheduling. As a result, they fall outside the fixed-price structure and are handled on a quotation basis to ensure accurate pricing.

Is a Printed Badge Right for Your Design?

Printed badges are ideal when:

Your design includes many colours or gradients
You need fast turnaround
You want a smooth, flat finish
You need predictable, fixed pricing

If your project falls outside these criteria, or requires higher quantities, our quote-based option may be more suitable.

Place an Order for Custom Printed Badges

Ordering fixed-price printed badges is quick and straightforward. Upload your artwork, select your size, backing and border style, and place your order online with complete cost clarity.

How to Order

In simple terms

Definition:
Printed badges are fabric patches where your design is permanently dyed into the material using a sublimation printing process, rather than stitched with thread.

Best for:
They are best for designs with many colours, gradients, shading, or photographic detail where embroidery or weaving would lose clarity.

Not ideal for:
They are not ideal if you want a raised, textured, or traditional stitched finish. For a bold, tactile look, embroidered or woven badges are usually a better choice.

Returns Policy

Returns Policy for Printed Badges
As our printed badges are bespoke and made-to-order, we do not accept returns. Each badge is customized according to the customer’s specifications, and we offer a two-step approval process to ensure satisfaction:

Digital Mockup Approval: A digital mockup is initially provided to review the size and quantity. This helps customers visualize the design application.
Production Sample Photo Approval: After the digital mockup is approved, a photo scan of the actual production sample is provided. Customers give final approval based on this production sample photo, which reflects the exact design, colors, and details of the final product.

This two-step process ensures that customers have the opportunity to review and confirm all aspects of the badge before full production begins.
Returns are not accepted for custom goods, including printed items, unless the products are defective or do not match the approved final production sample scan. Customers have a 14-day window from the delivery date to report any defects or discrepancies, which will then be rectified at no charge by us.
If you have any concerns or issues with the sample or the final product, please contact us immediately, and we will do our best to address them.

Resource Center

F.A.Q's

FAQ for Printed Badges

1. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for printed badges?

The MOQ for our printed badges is 25 pieces. Each design typically needs to meet its own MOQ due to the specific setup and production requirements involved in creating custom badges.

2. Can I combine different badge designs to meet the MOQ of 25 pieces?

Generally, we do not allow combining different badge designs to meet the MOQ requirement. Each design usually needs to meet the MOQ independently. However, in rare cases, if the badge designs share the same border color and all shapes and sizes are exactly the same, we may consider combining them to meet the MOQ. If you think your designs might qualify for this exception, please reach out with the specific details, and we will evaluate the feasibility.

3. What is the approval process for printed badges?

We follow a two-step approval process:

Digital Mockup: This step is for reviewing the design, size, and color details. It helps you visualize how the final badge will look.
Production Sample Photo: After the digital mockup is approved, we provide a photo scan of the actual production sample. This final approval ensures that you see exactly how the final product will look before full production begins.

4. What should I do if my printed badge is defective or doesn’t match the approved sample?

If you receive a badge that is defective or does not match the approved final production sample scan, please contact us within 14 days of delivery. We will review the issue and provide a replacement at no additional cost if the product is found to be faulty.

5. How long do I have to report an issue with my order?

Customers have a 14-day window from the delivery date to report any defects or issues with their printed badges. We recommend checking your order as soon as it arrives to ensure everything meets your expectations.

6. What is the delivery time for printed badges?

Once you approve the final production sample scan, your badges will be dispatched within 7 working days. Typically, it takes us 24 hours to upload the production scan for your approval. The sooner you approve it, the sooner we can begin the production process and ship your order.

7. How can I ensure that the final product will meet my expectations?

Start by considering your artwork size and detail. If your design includes very small or intricate details, consider making those elements larger. Badge sizes of 6-7 cm provide decent detail, while 8-9 cm sizes can deliver even better results. Avoid very small sizes, like 3 cm, unless the artwork is very simple. Review both the digital mockup and the production sample photo carefully during the approval process, and communicate any desired changes or concerns. For more tips, see our blog

post: “How to Get the Best Results with Your Custom Printed Badges.”

8. What if I have specific Pantone colours for my badge design?

If you have specific Pantone colors that need to be matched, please provide these details when placing your order. We will use this information to ensure your printed badges are produced with the exact colors you require. Note that there is about a 5% loss in print, so choose slightly darker colors if needed.

Custom Eco Green Badges with a Two-Step Approval Process.

Free mockup, expert design checks, and no upfront payment required.

Our Eco Green Badges are created for organisations that need reliable, high-quality embroidered badges while actively reducing environmental impact.
Specifically, we combine recycled materials with expert embroidery control to ensure clarity, durability, and consistency on every badge.

Furthermore, with over 35+ years of embroidery experience and more than 1.5 million designs digitised, we understand exactly how artwork behaves when stitched — not just how it looks on screen.

Recycled Materials from Post-Consumer Plastic

The Eco Green Badge production process begins with recycled PET sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles.
First, these bottles are cleaned and shredded into flakes; then, they are transformed into recycled polyester yarn suitable for embroidery.

Consequently, by using recycled polyester instead of virgin material, we significantly reduce plastic waste while also lowering water and energy consumption.
As a result, your badges support a circular manufacturing model without compromising professional quality.

Precision Embroidery with Reduced Waste

We stitch your Eco Green Badges using modern digital embroidery machines combined with recycled polyester thread.
Therefore, every stitch follows a controlled production path that ensures consistent results across all quantities.

In addition, because the embroidery process is digitally optimised, we use only the required materials.
This approach minimises waste while maintaining sharp detail, clean edges, and long-lasting durability.

Environmentally Safer Colours

All Eco Green Badges use azo-free dyes.
As a result, we eliminate harmful chemicals commonly found in traditional dyeing processes while still achieving strong, vibrant colours.

Importantly, this makes the badges safer for both the environment and for people who wear or handle them regularly.

Finished Badge & Application Options

Once complete, Eco Green Badges deliver a durable, eco-conscious finish suitable for uniforms, workwear, promotional garments, and accessories.

Sewn-on application
Heat-seal application

Therefore, your organisation can visibly demonstrate its sustainability commitment while maintaining a professional embroidered appearance.

Why Choose Eco Green Badges?

Made from recycled PET plastic bottles
Lower water and energy usage during production
Azo-free, environmentally safer dyes
High-quality embroidery with long-term durability
A clear and credible sustainability story for your brand

Our Two-Step Approval Process

Every Eco Green Badge order follows our proven two-step approval workflow.
First, our specialists create and send a digital embroidery mock-up for your approval.

Next, once approved, we produce a production sample photo so you can review the real stitched result before full manufacturing begins.

Because real embroidery behaves differently from digital artwork, this process ensures accuracy, reliability, and zero surprises.

Trust & Experience

Leather badges may look simple, however the final finish depends on the right material choice and the correct engraving depth.

Edge treatment and stitching also play a key role, so small decisions can change the final look.

That’s why we review your artwork and size first, before anything is made.

As a result, the badge you receive matches the approved look with no surprises.

Why We Offer a Free Quote & Free Mock-Up

Our free mock-up is more than a visual preview.

It is a suitability check for embossing, engraving, contrast, and readability.

Before you commit, we review fine detail and line thickness so the engraving does not fill in or lose clarity.

We also show how engraved areas will appear as a darker shade of the chosen leather colour, which helps you judge contrast accurately.

Therefore, you can approve with confidence before production begins.

Check fine detail and text clarity
Confirm the best size for visibility
Recommend small improvements without changing design identity

What Are Leather Badges?

Our leather badges are made using faux leather, which gives a premium look without using real leather.

Your design is embossed or engraved into the surface for a clean, vintage-style finish.

Engraved areas appear as a darker shade of the selected leather colour, so contrast is created naturally.

Optional stitching can be added for extra definition and a more traditional, “workwear” style edge.

Options & Application

Leather badges can be cut to shape and finished to suit your product. Because faux leather behaves differently to fabric, we also guide you on the safest application method.

Finish: embossed / engraved effect
Stitching: optional stitch detail
Application: sew-on (faux leather is not heat-seal suitable)

For appliqué use, we can supply a simple outline stitch file if required, so your team can attach them cleanly on an embroidery machine.

Two-Step Approval for Complete Peace of Mind

Step 1 — Free Mock-Up & Quotation

You receive a digital mock-up and pricing based on your size and design detail.

Nothing proceeds without your approval.

Step 2 — Production Approval

We produce your badges using the agreed material and engraving method.

You then approve high-resolution production sample photos so you can confirm colour tone, engraving depth, and finish.

Only after approval do we begin full production.

So what you receive matches what you approved.

Approximate Pricing

Pricing depends on size, design detail, and quantity.

Why Choose PVC Badges?

Unlike fabric patches, PVC badges resist fraying, fading, and cracking. Moreover, because colours mix directly into the PVC before moulding, your design stays vibrant for years. Consequently, custom PVC badges remain the reliable choice when performance truly matters.

In addition, PVC supports both flat and raised (3D) designs. Therefore, logos gain depth and texture without adding unnecessary bulk or stiffness.

Every custom PVC badge can be tailored to suit your brand and application. Specifically, our specialists help you select the correct size, depth, and backing so the badge performs reliably in real-world use.

Custom Chenille Badges and Patches with a Two-Step Approval Process

Chenille badges and patches deliver a bold, raised texture that adds warmth and character to garments. Consequently, they remain a trusted choice for varsity jackets, sweaters, uniforms, and premium fashion collections where visual impact matters.

Furthermore, with 35+ years of embroidery experience and over 1.5 million designs digitised, we understand exactly how artwork behaves when stitched using chenille yarn. Because chenille uses a lofty pile stitch, experience—not automation—determines whether a design succeeds.

At EmbroideryBadge.uk, specialists review every design manually. In contrast to automated systems, a human-eye review allows us to identify potential blurring, yarn spread, or spacing issues early. As a result, we prevent costly mistakes before the first stitch is laid.

We produce each chenille patch to your exact size and layout. In addition, we stitch premium chenille yarn onto a durable felt base to ensure long-term structure, colour retention, and consistency. When suitable, we can also offer environmentally responsible yarn and production options.

Why Choose Chenille Badges?

Chenille badges and patches stand out because of their soft, raised texture and traditional appearance. Additionally, the plush surface creates strong contrast at distance, which works especially well on letterman jackets and varsity-style garments.

Our production process combines premium chenille yarn with a robust felt base. Therefore, you achieve the classic chenille look without compromising durability or wear resistance.

Combining Chenille with Standard Embroidery

In some cases, designs benefit from combining chenille with traditional embroidery. For example, chenille can create a bold, 3D texture for main shapes, while flat embroidery adds clarity to smaller text or sharper outlines.

Consequently, this mixed approach allows greater flexibility without sacrificing legibility. Our specialists will advise if this method improves your final result.

Ensuring Design Suitability

Important: Not every logo translates well into chenille badges and patches.

Because chenille uses a lofty pile stitch, extremely fine outlines and small details can soften or merge as the yarn blends during stitching. Therefore, design suitability checks are essential before production begins.

The Thumb Rule

Print your logo at the final patch size. Then, review the smallest elements carefully.

If your thumb comfortably covers each detail, chenille usually works well. However, if an element is thinner than your thumb, it may blur once stitched.

What Works Best

For best results, use bold shapes, thicker lettering, and open areas. Specifically, generous spacing improves clarity and often reduces production costs.

Every chenille badge includes a felt base. Therefore, background colour selection plays a critical role. Choose an appropriate option from our

Send your logo and intended size via live chat. Also let us know which areas you want produced in chenille. Then, we will advise you honestly before production begins.

We produce chenille badges and patches from just 25 pieces. However, this technique delivers the best value at higher quantities.

They are best for bold designs with large shapes, thick lettering, and open areas, where texture and visual impact matter more than fine detail.

Not ideal for:
They are not ideal for small text, thin outlines, or intricate details, as the fluffy chenille yarn can soften or merge fine elements. In these cases, embroidered or woven badges are usually a better choice.

Pricing and lead times

Because every chenille design is unique, pricing is bespoke and calculated based on size, design suitability, yarn coverage, and quantity. Current estimated turnaround times are displayed live on this page; please request a quote for a final confirmed price and delivery schedule.

Why Design Review Matters for Chenille

Because chenille badges use a lofty pile stitch, artwork behaves differently compared to flat embroidery or woven patches. Consequently, designs that look sharp on screen can soften once stitched.

For this reason, our embroidery specialists manually review every chenille design before sampling begins. As a result, we identify spacing risks, lettering issues, and yarn spread early, preventing avoidable delays or redesign costs later.

How Chenille Pricing Is Calculated

Pricing for chenille badges is based on practical production factors, including:

Final badge size
Yarn coverage and stitch density
Design suitability for chenille stitching
Total quantity ordered

Because chenille production is labour-intensive, higher quantities offer better value. Therefore, many customers see significant savings when ordering 300 pieces or more.

Our Two-Step Approval Process

We use a strict two-step approval process to ensure accuracy and avoid surprises.

Step 1: Digital Mockup Approval
We provide a computer-generated mockup showing layout, proportions, and design elements. At this stage, you can request amendments free of charge.

Step 2: Production Sample Photo
Once approved, we create a stitched chenille sample and share a photograph of the actual badge. Only after this second approval do we proceed with full production.

Consequently, you remain in control from artwork review through to final manufacturing.

Helpful Ordering Tips

Review approvals on a high-resolution (retina) screen.
Do not print approval images to judge colour accuracy.
Provide Pantone colour references where possible.
Using the same chenille badge across multiple garments improves value.

Ordering in bulk provides significant savings. The more you order, the lower the cost per chenille patch becomes. Many customers also reuse the same chenille badge across multiple garments to maximise value.

F.A.Q's

Frequently Asked Questions: Chenille Badges and Patches

What is the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order quantity is 25 badges per design. However, prices typically reduce as you order more. Consequently, many customers order extras to keep as spares or to use on additional items such as gym bags, towels, and team kit.

Can I order more than one logo to make up the 25 badges?
No. The minimum is 25 pieces per design. Therefore, if you want two designs, you need 25 pieces of each. This includes any variation in size, colours, border, base material, or layout.

Can I have very fine text or small details in chenille?
Chenille uses a thick, lofty yarn. Consequently, it does not suit very fine text, thin outlines, or intricate details because the pile can soften or merge small elements. If you need detail, we often recommend a mixed media approach—chenille for bold areas and standard embroidery for finer text or sharper outlines.

What if my design is too complex for chenille?
We protect your brand first. Therefore, if the design will look crowded, blurry, or messy in chenille, we will tell you honestly at the digital mockup stage and recommend a better option before sampling begins.

What is the difference between chenille and “faux chenille”?
Traditional chenille uses yarn loops to create a plush, carpet-like texture. In contrast, faux chenille recreates a similar look using specialist embroidery techniques with standard thread. As a result, faux chenille often suits smaller details better, sits flatter, and usually delivers faster turnaround.

Are chenille patches washable?
Yes. We stitch chenille yarn onto a heavy-duty felt base for durability. However, to maintain the “loft” (fluffiness), we recommend washing garments inside out on a cool cycle and avoiding high-heat tumble drying.

Why do chenille patches usually have a felt base or felt border?
Chenille yarn grips best on a stable, fibrous base such as felt. Additionally, felt provides the classic heritage look associated with varsity and letterman garments. We offer a wide range of felt shade options so you can match the background to your garment.

What sizes can I choose for chenille badges?
Chenille badges can be made up to 250mm. The practical minimum is typically around 60mm. Because chenille is “fuzzy” by nature, we also recommend larger lettering and thicker shapes for best clarity.

What colours can I choose?
You can select colours using our shade charts. For example, you can choose felt or twill background colours, chenille yarn colours, and merrow border thread colours if required. Furthermore, if you have Pantone references, please share them because they help us colour-match more accurately.

Can I get a chenille patch with Hook & Loop (Velcro) backing?
We can offer various backings. However, because chenille patches are thicker and heavier than standard patches, we generally recommend sew-on or heat seal so the badge stays flush and does not sag on jackets or sweaters.

Can I see a photograph of the finished badge before full production?
Yes. We follow a two-step approval process. First, we share a digital mockup for your approval. Then, we stitch a production sample and share a photo of the actual chenille badge. Consequently, you stay in control before we manufacture the full quantity.

What is Digital Mock-up approval?
Digital mockup approval is Step 1 of our process. We create a computer-generated mockup to confirm layout, spacing, and key design elements. In addition, changes at this stage are typically free. Once you approve, we move to the production sample stage.

What is the Production / Physical Sample Approval Process?
Production sample approval is Step 2. We stitch your chenille badge and share a photo of the real sample. Therefore, you can check the final look before we produce the full order. If you request changes after Step 2, additional charges and delays may apply because the process returns to Step 1 again.

Can I get a physical sample badge posted to me?
Yes. Most customers approve via photos, however you can request a physical sample. The cost is £35 + VAT plus tracked and signed postage from Brentwood, UK. Please note that a posted sample can add up to 9 days to the final delivery timeline.

Can I amend the design at any time?
Yes, you can request amendments up to the digital mockup approval stage. However, changes after this stage may incur charges, and they can also delay delivery.

Can I cancel at any time?
You can cancel without charge during the digital mockup stage. Once you approve the mockup and pay the setup charge for a production sample, the setup charge becomes non-refundable. After you approve the production sample and pay in full, you become liable for costs incurred, including setup and any applicable postage.

Can I add any artwork?
Yes, in most cases. Please provide a high-resolution file such as PNG or JPEG. Alternatively, we can use PDF or AI files. Consequently, clear artwork helps us produce a more accurate mockup and sample.

Can I repeat an order later?
Yes. We store completed order information on your online account, so repeat orders are straightforward.

How can I contact you for help?
