Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our premium patch manufacturing process

•

Embroidered vs woven: which should I pick?

Embroidered is textured and bold (great for logos and uniforms). Woven patches use finer thread for small text and fine detail. Not sure? Send your art and we'll recommend.

•

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 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.
