Unlimited color

No per-color charges and no color counts. Gradients and blends print exactly as designed.

Built for outdoors

UV-cured ink resists sun, rain, and wear without losing color intensity.

Compare

UV printed hat patches vs. embroidered patches.

Embroidery is a strong choice for a traditional stitched look. UV printing is usually the better fit when your design depends on gradients, photographs, fine lines, or small readable text.

Continuous gradients & full-color artwork Yes Simulated with thread
Photo-realistic detail Yes Limited
Small text stays legible Yes Limited
Outdoor durability Designed for outdoor use Depends on thread and backing
Heat-activated adhesive available Pre-applied Available from some suppliers

FAQ

Custom UV hat patch questions, answered.

File requirements, previews, materials, minimums, pressing, and turnaround information for custom UV printed hat patch orders.

What are custom UV printed hat patches?
Custom UV printed hat patches are full-color patches printed with UV-cured ink. UV printing reproduces gradients, photographs, small text, and unlimited colors with sharp detail that embroidery cannot match.
Can I preview my custom patch before ordering?
Yes. Upload your artwork on the product page and the live patch designer shows an instant mockup on Bright White, Rawhide, or Black. Choose an automatic die cut or standard shapes like circle, wide hex, and oval, then enter the finished width and height and fine-tune the cut line before you add to cart.
Is the live preview my final proof?
The live preview is an auto-generated proof mockup. If your image has a solid background we remove it automatically for the preview, and you can turn that off. Before anything prints, a real person inspects your artwork and cut line to make sure there are no errors — if something looks off, we contact you before production.
How are UV patches different from embroidered patches?
Embroidery is a strong choice for a traditional stitched texture. UV printing is usually the better choice for photographs, continuous gradients, fine lines, and small readable text.
Is there a minimum order for custom UV patches?
No. Flat UV printed patches have no minimum order — order 1 or 1,000. Raised UV patches have a 12-piece minimum.
What base materials are available?
Custom UV patches are available on three base materials: Bright White, Rawhide, and Black. Choose the base that best complements your artwork and hat colors.
How do I apply UV printed patches?
Every patch ships with industry-leading Lonestar Adhesive already applied. Position the patch on the hat and press it into place — no sewing required.
Can I upload my own logo or photo?
Yes. Upload PNG, JPG, WebP, HEIC, SVG, AI, or PDF artwork on the product page. PNG, JPG, WebP, HEIC, and compatible SVG files can preview on the page. AI and PDF files are accepted with the order but do not display an on-page preview. Clean vector artwork or a high-resolution transparent PNG produces the best result.
How fast do custom UV patches ship?
Custom UV hat patches are covered by our 72-hour patch shipping guarantee. Turnaround starts once your artwork is approved for production.

Custom UV hat patches shipped in 72 hours.

Upload your artwork, preview compatible files on your selected base material, and order full-color custom hat patches with adhesive already applied — no minimum and no setup fees.
