Custom name patches are the simplest way to label a child's uniforms, bags and sports gear so lost items find their way home. Patch&Bagel produces custom embroidered name patches in Singapore from a minimum order of 20 pieces per design (from SGD $160 for 20 pieces and $210 for 30), with a choice of iron-on, sew-on or velcro backing, a free digital proof, and roughly a 2–3 week production time. This guide covers what to put on a name patch, which backing lasts through school washing, and how to order.
What is the minimum order for custom name patches in Singapore?
The minimum order for custom embroidered name patches at Patch&Bagel is 20 pieces per design, from SGD $160 for 20 pieces. That covers a full set for one child across uniforms, PE kit, bags and jackets, with spares — or a small batch for a class or CCA group. Each order includes a free digital proof before production so you can check spelling and colours.
Which backing should you choose for a child's name patch?
Choose sew-on backing for school uniforms that are washed often and hard, iron-on for quick application on casual clothing and bags, and velcro for items where you want to swap the patch between bags or seasons. Sew-on is the most durable for daily school wear; iron-on is the fastest to apply at home. All three backings are available on embroidered name patches at the same price.
What should you put on a child's name patch?
Keep it to the child's name in a clear, well-spaced font, sized about 5–8 cm wide so it reads at a glance. Add a small icon or the school or CCA colours if you like, but avoid tiny text that stitching cannot hold cleanly. Woven patches suit very small or fine lettering; embroidered patches give a classic, hard-wearing finish for most name labels.
How long do custom name patches take?
A typical order takes about 2–3 weeks from approved proof to delivery, plus 1–2 business days for the free digital proof. Order before the school term starts and allow a few extra days for any spelling revisions, since production only begins once you approve the proof.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order name patches for a whole class or CCA? Yes. The MOQ of 20 pieces per design suits both a single child's full set and small group orders; larger quantities are priced per tier (SGD $210 for 30).
Will iron-on name patches survive washing? Iron-on patches hold well on casual clothing, but for uniforms washed frequently we recommend sew-on backing for the longest life.
