Without the Late Deliveries, Wrong Prints, or Hidden Costs.
Custom leatherette patches put one consistent mark on your team's gear, and that mark repeats the same way across every unit you order. A patch does not run once and stop, the way an ad does. It stays on the gear it is applied to, so your brand gets seen every time someone wears or uses it, at the office, at an event, or out on a job site.
That consistency matters most at volume. Outfit a full team or roll a look out across several locations, and every patch reads the same, so nobody's badge stands out as the odd one. Businesses turn to custom leatherette patches for employee apparel, promotional giveaways, trade shows, company events, and team uniforms.

Custom leatherette patches, also called faux leather patches, are made from a synthetic material engineered rather than grown. The surface holds one consistent color and finish from the first patch in a run to the last. That consistency is what makes them the right pick whenever every badge in an order has to match.
Real leather comes from natural hide, and its grain varies piece to piece, so no two leather patches look quite the same. Leatherette does not carry that variation. Choose it over leather for a large uniform run, a franchise rollout, or any order where the match across the whole batch matters more than the material itself.
If natural grain is actually what you're after, genuine leather patches are the better fit, and that variation is the whole point of that material. Leatherette is also a genuinely cheaper route to a leather look than real hide, without giving up a clean, even finish.
The consistency lives in the material, not in anything done to it afterward. The surface is uniform before the laser ever touches it, so the same settings produce the same result on patch one and patch two hundred.
A laser burns your mark straight into the leatherette surface, the way it does on any of our custom laser-engraved patches. Nothing is printed on top of it and nothing is stitched in, so the design becomes part of the material itself.
That burn holds one tone, so a bold, simple mark is the one that comes out cleanest. Hairlines and fine detail close up under the beam, so a logo in full color, or a design with tight linework, will not read the way it does on screen. Send us artwork like that and we'll point you to embroidery, which holds solid color and type, or dye sublimation, which handles gradients and full color art without a color penalty.
A synthetic material just costs less to produce than tanned hide, so leatherette runs cheaper than real leather for a similar look. That is a genuine upside for a buyer who wants the look at a lower cost, not a compromise dressed up as one.
Nothing gets engraved until you've approved a digital proof of it. Send your logo file, and we'll come back with a proof showing exactly how it will burn into the patch, so the match across your whole order is confirmed before a single unit is made. Every order is satisfaction guaranteed.
Finished custom leatherette patches go onto Apparel of any kind.
Team uniforms, trade show staffing, employee apparel, company events, and promotional giveaways. Because every patch in an order comes out matching, they work especially well for outfitting a full team or multiple locations with one consistent look.
Yes. Leatherette's surface is manufactured to hold one consistent color and finish, so the same laser settings burn the same result into every patch in the run. Real leather can't promise that, since its natural grain shifts from piece to piece.
Leatherette gives you a consistent, manufactured surface, while real leather's natural grain varies patch to patch. Want that natural variation, or want every badge to match exactly: either is a real reason to pick one material over the other.
No. The laser only burns in one tone, so full color and gradients will not come through. For a color logo, embroidery or dye sublimation are the methods that will actually hold it.
Sewn on, heat sealed, hook and loop, or adhesive. Stitching holds up best on anything laundered or worked in regularly, heat application is the fastest option on cotton fabric, and adhesive backing works best for short use at a single event.
