Custom Dye Sublimated Patches

Dye sublimated patches, also known as printed patches, are full-color printed patches that use dyed ink transferred onto fabric.

Dye sublimated patches can be applied to hats and garments using different backing options. The appropriate backing can be selected based on the garment and how the patch will be used.

Production time is typically 10 to 15 business days. Look out for free-shipping promotions as they happen often.

Dye sublimated patches are made using a heat-transfer process, where heat and pressure transfer sublimation ink into the twill fabric. This process allows detailed, full-color designs to be reproduced directly onto the patch material.

Dye sublimated patches are best for designs with high detail, many colors, or color gradients. Keep in mind that sublimated patches have a flat appearance. Unlike other patch types, dye sublimation can also be used to turn a photograph into a detailed photo patch.
