Custom Round Patches
Custom round patches give crests, club logos and event emblems a balanced circular frame. A clear center and carefully spaced outer lettering help a circular patch remain readable at its final diameter.

Lay out the circle from the outside in
Start with the overall diameter and reserve space for the border. Round embroidered patches with curved text need a clear gap between lettering and the center graphic. Avoid compressing a long organization name into a circle that is too small to read.
Choose the construction for the center detail
A simple crest can work in embroidery, while a detailed central illustration may suit woven or printed construction. Round logo patches are a shape choice, not a material choice. Decide which details matter before selecting the fabric or molded face.
Fit the circle to the placement
Check that the full diameter fits the garment or loop panel. A circle placed near a pocket or curved seam may have less room than a rectangular measurement suggests. Include the attachment preference and quantity with the approved artwork.
Questions about custom round patches
Does the stated diameter include the border?
Specify the overall finished diameter including the border to avoid ambiguity.
Can text follow the circular edge?
Yes. Provide the wording and final diameter so spacing and letter size can be reviewed.
