Patch pricing
Patch pricing published per unit, not a form you have to fill in to find out. The grid below is for standard embroidered patches; every other construction is quoted from it with a style uplift, and anything past 1,000 pieces or 4.5 inches is priced individually up to 10,000 units.
How much do custom patches cost?
Custom embroidered patches cost between $0.75 and $6.15 each, depending on size and quantity. The biggest lever is quantity: a 3 inch patch is $3.95 each for 50 pieces, $2.55 for 100 and $1.05 for 1,000. Woven patches start at $0.95, PVC at $1.85 and leather at $1.95. Shipping is free worldwide, and the minimum order is 50 pieces per design.

Starting price by construction
| Construction | From | Priced this way because |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidered | $0.75 | Stitch count is the cost; coverage drives the price more than size |
| Woven | $0.95 | Loom set-up is fixed, so small sizes are relatively cheap |
| PVC / rubber | $1.85 | A mould is cut per design; 3D relief adds an operation |
| Leather | $1.95 | Material cost dominates, and hides are cut with waste |
| Keychains | $1.95 | Hardware is a fixed per-unit cost on top of the face |
| Chenille | $2.50 | Runs large by necessity, and yarn covers a big area |
| Sublimation | $1.25 | Printed rather than stitched — full colour at one rate |
| Metallic thread | $1.45 | Specialty thread runs slower and breaks more often |
| Bullion (hand-made) | $13.18 | Hand-sewn metal wire; priced per piece with its own 12-piece minimum |
