One thing Embroidered Patches Plus customers do not have to worry about is whether or not trying to keep them clean will damage their custom patches. Personalized patches are made to maintain their high quality look and feel even with regular cleaning. Sewing patches onto clothing or other everyday items provides added protection from wear and tear. Sustaining Characteristics of a Custom Patch

The key aspects of that allow the patch to hold up to routine laundering are:

Color Fastness – As a custom patch maker we recognize the importance of using color fast threads versus other types. No one is ever happy to find clothing ruined by the dyes in other articles. This is why we use color fast threads. The threads are able to withstand regular washing without bleeding their colors onto the host garment or other items.
PVC Backing – We protect the back of the patch with a PVC coating. Though our customer can choose from four backing options based on how the patch will be used, PVC backing is our standard. PVC is a thin coat of plastic applied to the back of the patch sealing the threads and helping it maintain its quality.
Permanence – Sewing a patch onto the garment makes it a permanent part of it. With your embroidered patch attached to a larger article it will barely be affected by a typical washing cycle.

All of these elements combined with the industry knowledge and skill of Embroidered Patches Plus guarantees your patch, and custom patch design, will keep its high quality look and feel for many years to come.
