FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about OctoPatches.

What are OctoPatches?

OctoPatches and 3D Flex are premium heat-applied patches that combine vibrant full-color printing with an easy online designer. Create your own custom designs and even utilize realistic textured materials like leather, canvas, camouflage, wood, brushed metal, and more.

What is the difference between a Custom Patch and a 3D Flex Patch?

Both are premium, heat-applied, durable, and made for real-world use. The difference is what you are designing: the patch itself, or the artwork that becomes the patch. Learn more on our comparison page.

Custom Patch - Traditional patch look with your choice of material look, border and shape.

3D Flex - Use art / logos to make patches and control design height with matte/gloss effects.
