Frequently Asked Questions

What are Velcro® patches?

Velcro® patches are embroidered or printed patches fitted with a hook & loop backing, allowing them to be attached and removed repeatedly without damaging the garment. They are widely used on military, police, security, workwear and tactical clothing where badges, name tapes or morale patches need to be changed quickly.

Unlike sew-on or iron-on patches, hook & loop patches provide maximum flexibility while maintaining a professional appearance.

At Emporium Embroidery, we manufacture custom Velcro® patches in the UK using premium hook & loop materials, with a choice of border finishes and backing options to suit your application.


What are Velcro® patches used for?

Velcro® patches are ideal for applications where identification or branding needs to be changed regularly. They're commonly used by the military, police, security companies, airsoft teams, dog handlers, cadet forces, businesses and outdoor enthusiasts for uniforms, backpacks, tactical vests and workwear.

Their removable hook & loop design makes them perfect for name tapes, unit badges, morale patches and promotional branding.

At Emporium Embroidery, we manufacture durable UK-made Velcro® patches for professional, commercial and recreational use.

How are Velcro® patches made?

Velcro® patches are created by embroidering your artwork onto durable twill before a commercial-grade hook & loop backing is permanently attached. Each patch is then finished with either a precision laser cut edge or a traditional merrow border, depending on the design.

This construction provides excellent durability while allowing the patch to be attached and removed repeatedly.

At Emporium Embroidery, every Velcro® patch is manufactured in the UK using commercial embroidery equipment and premium materials for a professional finish.


Can Velcro® patches be fully customised?

Yes, Velcro® patches can be fully customised to match your logo, badge or artwork. You can choose the shape, size, thread colours, border finish and backing to create patches tailored to your organisation or brand.

Whether you require military insignia, company branding, name tapes or promotional patches, almost any design can be produced.

At Emporium Embroidery, every Velcro® patch is professionally digitised and manufactured in the UK, with a digital proof provided before production.


What file should I send for my artwork?

The best files to send are high-quality PNG or JPEG images, although we also accept AI, EPS, PDF and SVG vector files. Vector artwork provides the sharpest results, but we can usually work from any clear, high-resolution image.

Every piece of artwork is professionally digitised before production to ensure the highest quality embroidery.

At Emporium Embroidery, we'll review your artwork, prepare it for production and provide a digital proof before manufacturing your patches.

Can Velcro® patches be any shape or size?

Yes, we manufacture Velcro® patches in almost any size or shape, including circles, rectangles, shields, name tapes and completely custom outlines.

Complex designs are precision laser cut to accurately follow your artwork, while simpler shapes can also be finished with a traditional merrow border.

At Emporium Embroidery, we'll recommend the ideal size and finish to achieve the best result.

What backing options are available?

Velcro® patches are supplied with a commercial-grade hook & loop backing. We can also provide the matching loop panel if your garment or equipment doesn't already include one.

This backing provides a secure attachment while allowing the patch to be removed and replaced whenever needed.

At Emporium Embroidery, we'll recommend the most suitable backing option based on how your patches will be used.

Do Velcro® patches come with both the hook and loop sides?

Our Velcro® patches are supplied with the hook backing attached to the patch as standard. The matching loop material can also be supplied if required, making them suitable for uniforms, tactical equipment and custom garments.

At Emporium Embroidery, we'll advise whether you require both sides based on your application.

Are Velcro® patches waterproof?

Yes, Velcro® patches are suitable for outdoor use and perform well in wet conditions. Premium embroidery threads, fabrics and hook & loop backing are designed to withstand everyday exposure to rain and moisture.

Combined with their excellent durability, they're ideal for uniforms, tactical equipment and outdoor clothing.

At Emporium Embroidery, we manufacture robust UK-made Velcro® patches for demanding environments.

Can Velcro® patches be washed?

Yes, Velcro® patches can be machine washed while attached to garments. Closing the hook side onto a loop panel before washing helps protect the fastener and prevents lint from collecting.

For the best results, wash at moderate temperatures and avoid excessive heat during drying.

At Emporium Embroidery, we use premium hook & loop materials and colourfast embroidery threads to maximise durability.

How durable are Velcro® patches?

Velcro® patches are designed for exceptional durability. Manufactured using commercial-grade hook & loop fasteners and premium embroidery threads, they can withstand regular wear, repeated attachment and removal, and routine washing.

They're ideal for demanding applications including military, police, security and outdoor use.

At Emporium Embroidery, every patch is manufactured to deliver long-lasting performance in professional environments.


How much do custom Velcro® patches cost?

The cost of custom Velcro® patches depends on the size, quantity, number of colours and backing option selected. Larger production runs offer lower unit prices, making them ideal for businesses and trade orders.

Every quotation is tailored to your exact requirements, ensuring you receive the best value for your order.

At Emporium Embroidery, we provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs and manufacture all patches in the UK.

How long does production take?

Production times depend on the size, quantity and complexity of your order. Most standard orders are completed within 5–10 working days following artwork approval.

If you have a deadline, we'll always do our best to accommodate it and provide reliable delivery times.

At Emporium Embroidery, all patches are manufactured in the UK, allowing us to maintain consistent quality and dependable lead times.


Are your Velcro® patches made in the UK?

Yes, all of our Velcro® patches are manufactured in the United Kingdom. From digitising your artwork to embroidery, finishing and quality inspection, every stage is completed in-house using commercial equipment.

Manufacturing in the UK enables us to maintain exceptional quality, faster delivery and direct customer support.

At Emporium Embroidery, we're proud to produce premium UK-made Velcro® patches for businesses, organisations and trade orders.

Can I reorder my Velcro® patches later?

Yes. Once your artwork has been digitised, we securely retain your embroidery file, making future ordering quick and straightforward.

Repeat orders are typically faster to produce, and if your artwork hasn't changed, you can usually avoid paying another setup charge.

At Emporium Embroidery, we make repeat ordering simple, ensuring every batch is manufactured to the same high standard for complete consistency.
