What Should Your Morale Patches Say About You?
Deciding you want an order of custom patches is remarkably easier than deciding what you want on those patches. If they’re intended to be a part of a uniform, the requirements are quite clear and sometimes out of your hands. If you’ve got the ability to create an order of patches to your own specifications, then you get to decide what you want those patches to look like. PVC morale patches custom made with unit emblems and mottos are always a popular choice, but the possibilities for design are endless.
Hallmarks of Military Morale Patches
Military patches often feature images specific to a unit of soldiers or an individual soldier’s rank. While these types of patches show a person’s membership to a team and are often a source of pride, they have strict rules when it comes to size, color and shape. Custom morale patches are also used throughout the military, but there’s much more room to play with the design because they’re more about adding a little levity to the unit and improving morale.
Soldiers deployed into battle have one of the most difficult and taxing jobs imaginable. Adding a little levity to their day is the kind of thing that goes a long way towards helping the time pass and keeping them ready for the task ahead. In an effort to accomplish those goals, military morale patches often feature funny quotes and images, as well as easily recognizable images from pop culture.
With a lot of these patches being ordered for soldiers and other military personnel, the sayings on them can often be crass, or adult in nature, but lucky for you, we don’t censor our customers’ creativity or their senses of humor. If you want a funny morale patch that perfectly encompasses you and your unit, but you’re worried that the text or artwork for it is too crass to be created, give us a try. There’s nothing we haven’t seen.
Knowing the Difference Between Woven and Embroidered Patches
The difference between woven and embroidered patches is something you can see and feel. Woven patches use a thinner thread with a tighter weave, resulting in a smoother patch design. Embroidered patches have a thicker thread that creates a layered design with more depth in the artwork.
Custom patches embroidered with detailed artwork have a traditional look and feel, perfect for anyone wanting a design with classic appeal. We only use the best quality threads available when crafting embroidered and woven patch designs, so no matter which style you prefer, you can be sure the artwork will not fade or fray over time.
While military morale patches are the most well known, we’ve helped create all kinds of civilian morale patches inspired by many of the same things. Drawing on pop culture or inside jokes within the group is a great way to make a unique design that will boost the morale of any team.
Getting Started on a Custom Morale Patch Design
Over the years, we’ve earned a reputation as one of the best PVC morale patch makers in the industry thanks to our dedication to quality and unbeatable service. However, we make several different types of morale patches, and while PVC is the most popular style, we can also make woven and embroidered morale patches, as well as several other styles. Knowing which type of patch you need is the best place to start when coming up with a design.
Custom PVC morale patches are the most popular option for soldiers because they’re flexible, waterproof and weather resistant. If your unit is looking for a design with small wording or detailing, a custom PVC morale patch is your best bet as well. The polyvinyl chloride material is perfect for molded 2D or 3D artwork with clean lines and intricate detail.
Threaded options like our woven patches are also a great choice for civilian morale patch designs with rich colors and beautiful detail. The tight weave and small thread create a smooth surface. For customers looking for a more classic, layered appearance, our custom embroidered morale patches are perfect for the job.
