Custom Merch Ideas: Embroidered Patch Totes and Sweatshirts for Any Brand or Group

Whether you are a creator, a podcast, a running club, a nonprofit or a growing brand, custom merch is one of the best ways to build community. Embroidered patch merch stands out because it looks crafted, feels premium and gets worn again and again.

How custom patch merch works

  1. Send us your logo, artwork or idea.
  2. We turn it into a custom embroidered patch.
  3. We hand-apply it to the totes or crewneck sweatshirts you choose.

Custom merch ideas

  • Creators and influencers: a signature patch your audience can rep.
  • Podcasts and newsletters: a logo crewneck for loyal listeners and subscribers.
  • Run clubs and sports leagues: team crewnecks and gear totes.
  • Nonprofits and causes: merch that raises funds and awareness.
  • Musicians and bands: see our concert merch guide.
  • Businesses: see custom business merch.

Design tips for great patches

  • Use bold shapes and a limited color palette.
  • Keep text short so it stays readable when stitched.
  • Pair your custom patch with patches from our collection to create a few different looks from one design.
