Product Details

Custom American flag patches are a timeless way to add identity, pride, and professional branding to uniforms, gear, and everyday apparel. Whether you’re ordering for military units, first responders, veterans’ groups, teams, or custom merch, these USA flag patches are made for crisp detail, clean edges, and reliable durability through everyday wear.

Customize your patch style, size, and shape to match your application—choose full color for a classic flag look or black & white for a tactical or subdued style. Then pick the backing that works best for your use: heat applied (most popular) for fast pressing, peel-and-stick for temporary placement, or Velcro/hook & loop for easy swapping on compatible gear. Every order includes a virtual proof at checkout so you can confirm the design before production, and bulk pricing can save you up to 70% on larger quantities.

Pressing Instructions

Click here to watch our step-by-step patch pressing tutorials.

To ensure your patch looks professionally pressed every time, follow these four simple steps.

  1. Position Your Patch: Being that your patch will be pressed facing down, touching the bottom plate, you will first need to secure the patch to your garment with Thermal Tape (heat resistant tape) to ensure it stays in its desired location when being placed on your heat press.
  2. Load Garment Onto Heat Press Face Down: Now that your patch is taped in place, flip the garment over and place onto the heat press so the patch is facing downwards and touching the lower plate. This makes it easier to melt the low-melt glue on the back of the patch so that the patch will adhere to your garment. The goal is to melt the low-melt glue on the back of the patch, not the visible portion of the patch you’ll see when it’s adhered to the garment.
  3. Press: After laying the garment with the patch face down, lay a Protective Guard Sheet over it to protect your garment from the iron, then press for 20 seconds at 325°F with 70-80 PSI or hard pressure. After pressing, remove the garment from the press and allow it to cool for at least 30 seconds before removing the thermal tape. This allows the melted glue to solidify, thereby bonding it to your garment.
  4. For Thicker Fabrics (Hoodies, Jackets, etc.): If after following these instructions the patch isn’t adhering to your garment, it could be because the garment you’re using is made of thick material, such as a hoodie, jacket, etc. If this is the case, tape your patch to the garment and flip the garment inside out. Then, lay the garment onto the heat press so that the back of the patch is facing up. Lay a piece of parchment paper over the garment and press for 20 seconds at 325°F with 70-80 PSI or hard pressure.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and maintain the integrity of your patch, follow the care instructions below:

  • Washing: Turn the garment inside out before washing. Use cold or lukewarm water, select a gentle cycle, and a mild detergent. Avoid hot water, bleach, and fabric softeners to prevent weakening the adhesive and fabric. Patches from BestPatches are built to last up to 50 wash cycles.
  • Drying: Air dry the garment or use a low heat setting on your dryer. Avoid high heat as it can cause the patch to shrink or the adhesive to weaken.

FAQ

Embroidered patches are decorative pieces of fabric that feature intricate designs stitched onto a base material. They are typically created by sewing threads onto a fabric, forming patterns, images, or text. These patches come in various sizes, shapes, and colors, and they are widely used for both functional and decorative purposes. 

Embroidered patches are made using specialized embroidery machines. A digital design or pattern is first created, specifying the colors and stitches. The machine then precisely sews the design onto a piece of fabric, layering threads to create the desired image or text. Afterward, the excess fabric is trimmed, leaving behind a clean and defined patch.

Our custom embroidered patches are based on your design. Choose your size, shape and border style, and upload your artwork - we’ll bring your design to life.

Amazing

I recently received our custom patch job from BestPatches, and I am absolutely blown away by the quality!

Small Challenge

My patches arrived long after I expected them to and the package was torn open. I'm not sure if this was BestPatches's challenge or the United States Postal Service, however, when I contacted BestPatches with pictures and a story they immediately responded. Sent me what was not in my package and gave me a $20 credit towards my next purchase. Now that is great customer service and a company that I would definitely give another shot.

Custom patch

Received a photo sample with the opportunity to make changes, which they did quickly. After changes were made I received an updated photo sample. I approved it, I felt like I then received my custom patches in a reasonable amount of time. I only wish they had been bigger, much to small for a center hat patch. That was on me. I will order bigger next time which I will be doing soon at that was what I was needing them for. Overall easy to work with received in a reasonable time frame, them look awesome and ironed on well.

For the price not too bad!

Let me start by saying I did not request a proof before shipping. Reason I am giving 4 stars is for two reasons. Reason one, the colors are too dull compared tot the image I provided this could have been caught if I requested a proof first. Reason two, the time from when I placed the order to when the order shipped was not as quick as I hoped.

Awesome!

Was worried the patches I ordered were too big for the Richardson 112 hats I wanted to fix them too. After following the BestPatches instructions I was very happy with my patches after they were applied to my blank hats. Thanks. Will order from again!!

2nd order, still great

This was my second time ordering through bestpatches. They have the best deal for small batches (10 embroidered patches) and the quality is outstanding! Even at 2. 5" by 2. 5" it looks just like the picture I submitted.

Great work. Professional to the core

I recently rcvd patched from your organization and I was impressed with the turnaround time as well as pricing. Your app made it easy to order and the finished product was exceptional. I immediately ordered a series of patches that I’ve been trying to get completed… Looking forward to sending you more business as your product professionally helps to brand a business, product or idea.

Color Color Color

Everything about the patches was great. The service, the embroidery, the timing and the delivery were top notch, except the color was wrong. The primary color was clearly a kelley green and whoever pocked the color picked a more lime light green color. If I was not out of time, I would have rejected them.
