Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our premium patch manufacturing process

•

Chenille vs embroidered for school/sports?

Chenille is soft and plush (iconic for letterman jackets and awards). Embroidered is stitched and durable (best for uniforms and detailed logos).

•

Can you do small text on chenille?

Chenille is best for bold letters/numbers. For small text, woven or embroidered usually works better.

•

Is chenille only for jackets?

No. It's great for hoodies, sweaters, and bags too — anywhere you want that varsity texture.

•

Do you offer iron-on backing?

Often yes, depending on the design and size. We'll confirm the best backing on your proof.

•

Do I approve before production?

Yes. Every order includes a free proof and revision stage.

•

How much do custom patches cost?

Pricing depends on size, quantity, type, and backing. Starting prices begin at $1.25/piece. Quantity discounts start at 51 pieces: 5% off at 51–200, 10% at 201–500, 15% at 501–1,000, and 20–25% at 1,000+. Final discount depends on product type, size, and artwork complexity.
