How much do embroidered patches cost?

The cost of your embroidered patch order is going to depend on the apparel you're applying the patch to, the number of units you're ordering and the size of the patch. The size of the patch is considered the height + width / 2.

Can I order embroidered patches on their own, or do they have to be applied to a garment?

Typically, we only sell patches as part of a finished merch item. However, if let us know a little bit more about your needs and we're always happy to see what we can do.

Can you Pantone match embroidered patches?

We can't guarantee exact Pantone matches when working with thread colors; however, we'll always do our best to get as close as possible. If you're in need of an exact match we recommend checking out our sublimated patch option.

What's the difference between woven and embroidered patches?

Embroidered patches are made by stitching threads onto a fabric backing, giving them a textured, raised look. They’re perfect for bold designs with simple shapes and thicker lines. Woven patches, on the other hand, use thinner threads and tighter stitching to create a flatter surface with more detail. If your design has small text or intricate elements, woven is the way to go.

Can I customize the shape of my patch?

Yes! We can go with a standard circle or rectangle, or you can go wild with a full custom shape.

Can embroidered patches get washed?

Embroidered patches are fine to go in the washing machine. We recommend flipping the garment inside out and using a gentle cycle and mild detergent.

Do embroidered patches require a border?

Yes, all embroidered patches require a border. You can either have a thick border that pops, or a narrow border that will more closely blend in with your design.
