Printing Patagonia clothing: how does it work?
At Maximum Image, we give companies and organisations the opportunity to have high-quality, sustainable clothing printed. At the moment we cannot offer printed Patagonia clothing. Contact us for more information. We do, however, have plenty of great, sustainable (and more affordable) alternatives to Patagonia clothing.Â
Patagonia is known for its sustainable, environmentally friendly approach, which makes it a popular brand with organisations that want to minimise their ecological footprint.
What is the Patagonia clothing brand?
Patagonia is an internationally renowned outdoor clothing brand committed to environmentally friendly production and the use of recycled materials. The brand stands not only for style and functionality, but also for ethically responsible production processes. By choosing Patagonia, you choose quality clothing that lasts and is good for the environment.
Why choose Patagonia clothing?
Patagonia is more than just clothing. The brand is synonymous with sustainability, ethical responsibility and innovation. When you choose Patagonia clothing, you contribute to protecting the environment, as the brand is committed to using recycled and organic materials. The clothing is also known for its excellent quality and long life, making it perfect for companies that want to give their employees durable, functional workwear.
Is Patagonia expensive?
A question we are often asked. Yes, it isn’t cheap, but you are buying top quality with sustainable credentials.Â
Are there alternatives to Patagonia clothing?
Absolutely! Think of brands such as Columbia or The North Face. We also have Stormtech in our range. This clothing is slightly cheaper but of similar quality. Discover the Stormtech range here.  That said, the sustainable, eco-friendly character of Patagonia is and remains unique!
Is my company eligible for co-branding?
Important information: Patagonia has a strong set of sustainability values and standards that it actively promotes. This means that not every company is allowed to co-brand. When you submit a request, we check with Patagonia whether your company is eligible for co-branding with Patagonia clothing. Every request MUST be approved by Patagonia, which means a longer approval process. Need printed clothing sooner? Ask us about alternatives to Patagonia.Â
Printing Patagonia clothing? These types of companies are eligible.
Essentially, they look for companies that actively do things to have a positive impact on the environment. I’ll list the levels below 
Levels 1 + 2 are a clear yes. I would describe level 3 as a grey area: some are approved, but most are not. Patagonia reviews these case by case and looks at things such as their climate and sustainability status, the news and what they do. Your current client does indeed use sustainable materials, but Patagonia will also consider the environmental impact of producing metal. Level 4 is a 100% no.
Level 1 – outdoor and sports organisations, non-profit organisations that protect people or the planet.
Level 2 – for-profit organisations with a clear focus on social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. B Corp companies are a good example.
Level 3 – for-profit organisations focused purely on profit and creating shareholder value. Most of these are rejected, but it is still worth asking whether they have programmes in place and are trying to have a positive impact on the environment (not CO2 offsetting). In the past, technology and financial companies in this category have been approved.
Level 4 For-profit companies that harm people or the planet. Industries such as tobacco, cars, junk food, raw material extraction and pharmaceuticals.
Case: Patagonia clothing for MALAX Engineering.
MALAX Engineering was looking for sustainable Patagonia clothing, more specifically a fleece and a bodywarmer. We provided a beautiful embroidery with a colour gradient. The result speaks for itself.

Printing or embroidering Patagonia clothing: personalisation tips.
Corporate clothing is, of course, personalised. This can be done in different ways: we can embroider or print your clothing. Within these main categories there are many other ways to personalise your corporate clothing, depending on the product. Our team will be happy to guide you through the process. Don’t hesitate to contact us.
Printing Patagonia clothing: usually possible from just 1 piece. That said, it is often not advisable, because printing usually involves a fixed set-up cost that weighs heavily on smaller quantities. The printing techniques we offer include: transfer printing, screen-printed transfers, screen printing, DTG, flex, 3D print (for larger quantities), …
Embroidering Patagonia clothing: also possible from 1 piece. The programming cost is usually a one-off, so if your artwork doesn’t change you save on repeat orders. Embroidery is a high-quality way to personalise, but it has its limits. Logos with gradients and fine details are very difficult to embroider.
Printing and embroidering Patagonia clothing: you can of course combine different techniques, bearing in mind a potentially longer lead time (more handling) and a fixed cost that weighs more heavily. But it can create a beautiful, unique effectÂ

Why have Patagonia clothing printed for your business?
Having Patagonia clothing printed for your business is a smart move to strengthen your brand identity and to promote and boost unity and professionalism within your team.
By printing Patagonia clothing with your company logo, slogan or other distinctive elements, you create a powerful tool for brand recognition. Whether worn at events, in the workplace or at company parties, printed Patagonia clothing can be an effective way to put your business in the spotlight in a positive way.
Printed Patagonia clothing also fosters a sense of belonging and team spirit within your organisation. By giving all employees the same jumpers, you create a sense of unity. This not only contributes to a positive working atmosphere, but also strengthens your team’s engagement and loyalty in the long term. Because it is an outdoor brand, your team can wear this clothing on many different occasions.
As well as strengthening your brand and boosting team spirit, printed Patagonia clothing also offers practical benefits. It can serve as comfortable corporate clothing or workwear on colder days, or as a uniform for staff who deal with customers a lot.
