Patch pricing

Patch pricing

Published per-unit prices, 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.

Embroidered patch price grid

Per patch, including digitizing, up to nine thread colours, twill backing and a merrowed border, at up to 50% embroidery coverage.

Starting price by construction

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