Quick answer

You can personalize a CALPAK Kids Patch with UV Printing by selecting a patch design, then using CALPAK's UV Printing service to add custom text or artwork before attaching the patch to a backpack or bag.

Why combine patches with UV printing?

CALPAK Kids Patches come in fun designs like Butterfly, Monster Truck, Unicorn, and more. Adding UV Printing lets you layer a name, initial, or simple graphic onto the patch, making it truly one-of-a-kind. This combination works especially well for school backpacks, lunch bags, or travel accessories where you want to avoid mix-ups.

Things to consider before ordering

UV Printing is a final sale item, so double-check your design before placing the order. The patch itself is also final sale. Choose a patch with a flat, solid-color area for the best UV print readability. Patches with very busy or dark patterns may not show the print clearly.

Steps to personalize a Kids Patch with UV Printing

  1. Choose your patch design: Browse the available CALPAK Kids Patches and pick a design that your child loves. For best UV print results, select a patch with a large, flat area and a lighter color. Avoid patches with heavy textures or very dark colors if you want the print to be highly visible.
  2. Prepare your UV print artwork: Decide what text or simple graphic you want to add. Keep the design small enough to fit within the patch's surface. CALPAK's UV Printing service works best with clean, high-contrast artwork. Test your design by printing it on paper at the same size to see how it fits on the patch.
  3. Place your order as a bundle: Add the Kids Patch and the UV Printing - Bundle to your cart. During checkout, follow the prompts to upload your artwork and specify where on the patch you want it printed. Double-check the placement and design before finalizing, because both items are final sale and cannot be returned.
  4. Attach the patch to your child's bag: Once you receive the personalized patch, attach it to a backpack, tote, or pouch. Most CALPAK patches can be sewn on or attached with a fabric adhesive (follow the care instructions for your bag). If using adhesive, test a small corner first to ensure it won't damage the bag's material.
