Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our premium patch manufacturing process

🧵

What's the difference between embroidered and woven?

Embroidered uses threads stitched into the base, giving a textured look. Woven uses thinner threads, so it's better for tiny text and fine detail.

🎨

Can you match my brand colors?

Yes. We match thread colors as closely as possible and confirm everything on the proof before production.

✅

Do you send a proof before production?

Always. Every order includes a free sample/art proof. Production starts only after you approve.

📌

What backing should I choose?

Iron-on is great for DIY application, Velcro is perfect for gear, and sew-on is the most universal. If unsure, choose 'Not sure' and we'll recommend.

🧵

How much do custom patches cost?

Pricing depends on size, quantity, type, and backing. Starting prices begin at $1.25/piece. Quantity discounts kick in at 50+ pieces — you save 5% at 50, 10% at 200, 15% at 500, and up to 25% at 1000+. Use the Instant Quote for an exact number.

🎨

What's your minimum order quantity?

Most products start at a 5-piece minimum — perfect for trial runs or small teams. No setup fees, no hidden charges.

✅

How long does production take?

Standard production is 7–14 business days after proof approval, depending on quantity and product type. Rush turnaround is available on request for a small priority fee.

📌

Do I get a free digital proof before production?

Always. You'll receive a free digital mockup within 24 hours of placing your order. Production only starts after you approve — and basic revisions are included at no extra cost.

🧵

What file formats do you accept?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) are ideal. We also accept PNG, JPG, and hand-drawn sketches — our design team will clean up your artwork as part of the proof process.

🎨

What backing options are available?

Iron-on, sew-on, Velcro (hook & loop), adhesive, and pin-back. Each has specific use cases — we'll recommend the best option for your application during the proof stage.

✅

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship across the US with standard and express options, and to Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe, and Australia. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on weight and destination.

📌

What's your quality guarantee?

Every order passes a 5-point quality check before shipping. If your patches don't match the approved proof, we'll remake them at no cost. 30-day satisfaction guarantee on every order.
