Just picked up the custom mugs Artik made for me, and they are great! Very happy with the work they did, and the short timeline they had to do it. I needed 100 mugs with a logo on it, by a certain date, and they worked with me to make it happen. They even helped me find the perfect mug and price it out accordingly. I would definitely use this company again!

Elevate Your Brand with Custom Embroidered Patches from Artik
In the world of physical branding, few things carry the same weight of tradition and durability as a custom embroidered patch. Whether you are outfitting a security team, building a local social club, or launching a streetwear line, the tactile quality of embroidery creates an immediate sense of authority.
For over 35 years, Artik has been the premier destination for high-quality custom embroidered patches and crests. Based in Toronto but serving clients worldwide, Artik combines decades of craftsmanship with modern ordering efficiency. Here is everything you need to know about leveraging custom patches for your organization.
Why Choose Custom Embroidered Patches?
Custom patches, often referred to as crests, offer a versatility that direct embroidery cannot match. While direct embroidery is permanent to one garment, patches allow you to brand multiple items—from hats and hoodies to bags and tactical vests—without the need for complex logistics.
Professionalism and Authority
Embroidered patches are the gold standard for uniforms. Organizations like police departments, fire rescue, EMS, and military branches rely on patches because they signify rank, identity, and professionalism. When your team wears a crisp, high-thread-count patch from Artik, it tells the world your brand is established and detail-oriented.
Durability That Lasts
Unlike screen-printed logos that may crack or fade over time, embroidered patches are built to endure. Using fade-resistant polyester threads and sturdy backing materials, Artik’s patches can withstand harsh weather conditions and repeated industrial laundering, making them the ideal choice for outdoor industries and active organizations.
Customization Options at Artik
Artik specializes in "design-to-reality" manufacturing. They don’t just take an order; they help you engineer a product that fits your specific needs.
1. Sizing and Measurement
Calculating the cost of your patch is straightforward. Artik uses a simple formula to determine size: (Width + Height) / 2. For example, if your design is 4" wide and 2" tall, your patch size is 3". This transparent pricing model ensures you stay within budget while maximizing your design's impact.
2. Edge and Border Choices
Details matter. You can choose between a Merrow Edge (a classic, wrapped-thread border that gives a traditional look) or a Laser Cut Edge (perfect for complex shapes that require a sharp, clean finish).
3. Backing for Every Application
The way you attach your patch is just as important as the design itself. Artik offers several backing options:
-
Iron-on: For quick application with a standard heat press.
-
Velcro (Hook & Loop): Ideal for tactical gear or uniforms where patches need to be swapped frequently.
-
Peel and Stick (Adhesive): Great for temporary events or promotional giveaways.
-
Sew-on: The most permanent and traditional method for long-term wear.
The Artik Advantage: A Seamless Ordering Process
Many businesses hesitate to order custom patches because the design process feels daunting. Artik eliminates this friction with an artist-first approach.
In-House Art Support
Unlike many competitors, Artik provides in-house artwork creation. You don't need a finished vector file to get started; their team can work with your ideas to create a professional digital proof.
Approval Before You Pay
Artik operates on a "satisfaction first" model. You won't be charged until you approve the digital proof of your custom patch. This includes unlimited revisions, ensuring the final product matches your vision exactly.
Fast Turnaround and Shipping
With free Priority Air shipping on orders, Artik ensures that your custom crests arrive on time, whether you are located in Toronto or across the globe.
Boost Your Marketing with Tangible Branding
In a digital-first world, physical "swag" that people actually want to keep is a powerful SEO and word-of-mouth tool. High-quality patches have become a staple in the "patch game" community on social media, where fans collect and trade unique designs.
By creating a limited-edition embroidered patch for your brand, you aren't just giving away a logo—you’re providing a piece of wearable art. This increases brand impressions every time the wearer steps out in public, creating a "walking billboard" effect that digital ads simply can't replicate.

Whether you need 50 patches for a local scout troop or 5,000 for a national corporate rollout, Artik’s expertise ensures a premium result every time. Their commitment to quality materials, fair pricing, and expert design support makes them the go-to provider for custom promotional products.

Here’s What Our Clients Say:
I created a bandana for my husband's celebration of life and I had Artik create the bandana’s for the guests. As soon as they arrived, I started crying because they were absolutely beautiful. Very good quality and excellent printing. I will definitely be ordering again.
We've been using them for years for our team hockey jerseys. Amazing help with logo design and we can still re-order years later. Excellent customer service. Emails are answered right away.
Highly recommend! I ordered 120 toques with logos for an event and all the guests loved them. The hats looked great and were warm. The whole process was super easy.
