Why These Custom Embossed TPU Heat Transfer Patches Work
First, this patch style gives apparel a more dimensional look than a flat printed transfer. However, it can still look cleaner and lighter than many thick molded PVC or rubber patches.
Second, the raised white logo, textured navy surface, and shield-shaped outline create a premium athletic look. Therefore, these custom embossed TPU heat transfer patches work especially well for sportswear, streetwear, teamwear, and branded merchandise.

Production and Quality Confidence
Before sampling, buyers should confirm the artwork, patch size, logo height, color, PET carrier film, garment surface, and heat-press requirements. This step is important because the final application result depends on both the patch structure and the fabric compatibility.
As an SGS verified manufacturer, DOY provides supplier and factory information that helps buyers evaluate production capability, quality process, and business reliability. However, SGS verification should be understood as supplier evaluation support, not automatic product-specific testing or approval for every order.
Our production facility supports custom garment accessories, patches, and related brand trims with material checking, in-process control, final inspection, and packing verification. Therefore, approved samples and clear specifications are the safest way to reduce color, size, and logo-detail mistakes before bulk production.
FAQ
What are custom embossed TPU heat transfer patches made from?
They are usually made with a TPU surface and a PET carrier film. The TPU creates the flexible raised patch effect, while the PET film helps position the patch during heat transfer application.
Are these TPU patches sew-on patches or heat transfer patches?
These patches are designed for heat transfer / iron-on application. Therefore, they are different from traditional sew-on embroidered patches.
Can I customize the shape, color, and logo?
Yes. Shape, size, logo, color, and surface details can be customized based on your artwork and application requirements.
What information should I send for a quote?
Please send your logo file, target size, quantity, Pantone colors if available, application fabric, expected use, packing needs, and delivery country. In addition, a photo of the target garment can help us review application suitability.
What is the MOQ for custom embossed TPU heat transfer patches?
This product usually starts from 100 pcs, depending on size, process, artwork complexity, and project value. However, very small sample-only requests should be confirmed separately.
How long does sampling take?
The reference sample time is about 3–9 working days, depending on artwork complexity and production schedule. After the sample is approved, bulk production can be arranged more smoothly.
How long does bulk production take?
The reference bulk production time is about 3–11 working days, depending on quantity, size, color details, and final sample approval.
Are TPU patches waterproof and durable?
TPU is commonly used for flexible, wear-resistant, and water-resistant branding trims. However, final performance depends on material selection, surface, thickness, application method, and usage conditions.

Not automatically. The fabric must be compatible with the required heat, pressure, and pressing time. Therefore, please share the garment fabric before sampling.
Can you provide certification documents?
Relevant documents may be available for selected materials or products. However, certification support depends on the exact material, product structure, certificate scope, and order documents, so it should be confirmed before sampling or bulk production.
