What you get

A small run gets the full process.

A real patch before the rest

We make one actual Production Proof patch and photograph it for you. We make the rest only after you approve it.

Unlimited Digital Mockup revisions

Your free Digital Mockup arrives within 24 hours, and you can revise it until it is right.

No setup fees

Artwork setup is part of the patch price, on your first order and every reorder.

Reorders start from your design

We save the design you approved, so your next order starts from it, with no setup to redo.

Pricing

What 25 patches cost.

3-inch patches with sew-on backing, embroidered at 75% coverage. Generated by the same engine as the calculator, so these are the prices you pay.

Chenille$5.30$132.50$3.95$2.70

The price per patch falls as the quantity climbs, because the setup work on a new design is shared across more pieces. If you can stretch to 50 pieces, that is our Best Value. Our guide to what custom patches cost goes through every factor.

Questions

Small order questions, answered.

What is your minimum order for custom patches?+

Our minimum is 25 pieces, on embroidered, woven, PVC, UV printed PVC and chenille patches. We call that a Small Run. At 50 pieces the price per patch drops further, and that is our Best Value.

Do you make custom patches with no minimum?+

Orders start at 25 pieces, so there is no single-patch option. You still see a real patch before the rest are made: every new design gets a Production Proof, one actual patch made and photographed for your approval. Planning a large program and want a sample in hand first? Ask us when you request a quote.

How much do 25 custom patches cost?+

25 3-inch embroidered patches with sew-on backing come to $162.75, or $6.51 each, with artwork setup and shipping to the 48 contiguous US states included. The calculator shows the exact number for your type and size.

Is there a setup fee on a small order?+

No. Artwork setup is part of the patch price on small orders too, and the Digital Mockup is free, with unlimited Digital Mockup revisions.

Why do fewer patches cost more each?+

Every new design carries the same setup work: your artwork prepared for production, a Digital Mockup, and one real Production Proof. On a small run that work is shared across fewer pieces, so each patch carries more of it.

How long does a small order take?+

With prompt approvals, embroidered and woven patches take about 4 to 5 weeks from order to door, and PVC about 5 to 6 weeks. Need it sooner? Contact us about rush availability.

Can I reorder a small run later?+

Yes. We save the design you approved, so your reorder starts from it, with no setup to redo and no new proof round. Reorders are paid in full at checkout.
