Types of Emblems
Emblems are made of fabric, backing, and merrow thread. They are perfect for almost any decoration need and method, including embroidery, screen printing, and sublimation. Typically, emblems are sewed or sealed to the garment with a heat press. There are several types of popular emblems.
- Embroidered emblems. These are often considered the gold standard for promoting a brand. No other type of emblem can match the durability and look of a custom embroidered emblem.
- Screen printed emblems. These are highly resistant to fading and offer unmatched color definition. If the person wearing the emblem does a lot of work outdoors or is exposed to the elements, a custom silk screening emblem may be the smart decoration choice.
- Sublimated emblems. Sublimated badges are a good option for designs with a large number of gradients, fades, or colors.
- Reflective emblems. Reflective emblems are useful for uniforms where visibility at dawn, dusk, or night in all weather conditions is required. This type of patch is in the safety category.
- Applique’. This is a very unique type of emblem that will stand out in a crowd. An applique’ patch is typically cut in a shape or follows the contours of a design. This is a very eye catching technique.
