Printed Badges & Printed Patches — Fast, Simple & Fixed Pricing
From 25 pcs per design · Lead time 7 business days
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.

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.

Printed badges follow a fixed pricing structure based on size and quantity. Current estimated turnaround times are displayed live on this page. For confirmation of pricing and delivery schedules, please place a quote request.
