A staff member\u2019s name needs to be readable from an arm\u2019s length away. A club crest needs to be recognised from the other side of a pitch. Those are two different jobs and name patches and logo patches are made for each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a name patch when the garment needs to show who someone is or what they do. Choose a logo patch when it needs to show a brand, a club or a piece of artwork. This guide is for businesses, clubs and teams in Ireland and covers materials, attachment, club kits and how to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A name patch carries a person’s name, job title or role. It is small, text only and usually sits on the chest of a work shirt or jacket where customers can read it at normal talking distance. It belongs to the person wearing it so it changes when the staff member does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A logo patch carries a brand mark, club crest or artwork. It is larger, often uses several colours and goes on the back of a jacket, the front of a cap or the side of a bag. It stays the same no matter who wears it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many teams order both: one logo patch for the garment and a name patch for each person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A customer talking to a mechanic, a parent speaking to a coach or a patient asking a carer for help all do better when the name is visible. A name patch gives that information at a glance and keeps the uniform looking consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any role where staff deal directly with customers, patients or parents. A name on the chest saves people from having to ask and it reads as more professional than a handwritten badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The patch belongs to the wearer, not the business. When someone leaves, the name comes off and the next person\u2019s goes on so the jacket stays in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick a colour that contrasts strongly with the fabric, such as white on navy. Script fonts look smart up close but are hard to read from a few steps away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A caf\u00e9 apron, a tradesman\u2019s jacket and a club tracksuit all carry the same message about who the wearer belongs to. A logo patch puts that message in one place and it looks the same on every garment, whoever is wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any group that wears the same clothing in public. A logo on the back of a jacket or the front of a cap is seen long before a name tag can be read so it works as free advertising every time staff are out on a job or a team is at an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/td> Name patch<\/strong><\/td> Logo patch<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> Content<\/td> Name, title or role<\/td> Logo, crest or artwork<\/td><\/tr> Size<\/td> Small<\/td> Medium to large<\/td><\/tr> Placement<\/td> Chest or sleeve<\/td> Cap front, jacket back, bags<\/td><\/tr> Usual material<\/td> Embroidered or printed tape<\/td> Embroidered, woven or PVC<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Use A Name Patch When People Need To Know Who Is Serving Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
