If you have looked very far, you know that a minimum of just 6 patches is unusual to get your custom shape, size, and with a stitched edge.
Six patches is our minimum for "regular" shaped patches, those with relatively uncomplicated shapes with outside corners that a merrowing machine can stitch around.
For "irregular" shapes, with ins and outs to the design such as flames, scrolls, and other more complicated shapes, the minimum is still less than most companies we've seen, at 25 patches. A mill fee will also apply.
So, you will be ahead in time and money if you are able to work with our standard shapes and sizes, or can utilize something from our Leftover List, or can live without a stitched edge, since all these have no minimums, but if you cannot....
We can get your special shape, size, and edge.
"Regular" shapes with outside corners only
- Price of regular patches + $2
- Up to 12 square inches are standard size, over 12 square inches are oversize
- 6-piece minimum
- Allow at least 10 days
"Irregular" shapes with ins and outs to the shape
- Price of regular patches + $5 + $40 mill fee
- Up to 12 square inches are standard size, over 12 square inches are oversize
- 25-piece minimum
- Allow at least 10 days
- Subject to approval by our mill - some shapes simply cannot be edged
A "regular" shape is something with a few corners and curves, such as ovals, squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, shields, rockers, etc. All their shapes are convex, meaning a merrow edging machine can go around the outside of all the corners.
An "irregular" or "unusual" shape is something with filigrees, banners, stickouts, etc. If some of the shapes are concave, meaning they turn inward, then a simple merrow edging machine will not work and your design will have to be digitized, edge-embroidered, and cut out after the edging is on.
In most of our work we do not need to see your design to give you a quote. For special ordering where you require a stitched edge, we probably do need to see it in order to give you your options accurately.
Regular patch prices, before add-ons
Add $2 for "regular" shapes, minimum 6

What are dyed patches?
- Fabric patch with satin-stitched edge, customized with your logo or personalized
- Image is permanently DYED into patch, not embroidered or stitched
- Made with the same permanent dye process as colorful polyester clothing
- Machine washable and dryable, scrubbable, dry cleanable
- "Feminine", "masculine", or block font available for names, or use a custom font - see font samples
- Fabric glues available for the sewing-challenged - choose washable/dryable or washable/dryable/drycleanable
- Iron-on backing available
Are they durable?
The design is molecularly bonded with the fabric, so they are extremely durable. Customer tests report you can do anything to the patches - scrub them, launder them, expose them to salt water, wear them in the rain - they do fail the broil test, however.
If you can go out in the rain wearing polyester, you can do the same with our patches. The image will not run or bleed because it is permanently dyed into the fabric. The image will not scratch off as in screen printing or get snagged as in embroidery because it is molecularly bonded, subsurface.
Why would I want these rather than embroidered patches?
- Can order smaller quantities, as low as one patch
- Unlimited colors and gradients available
- Extremely fine detail
- Edges and background can match exactly
- No threads to fray
- Clean-looking text without thread between the words

We Do Not Make Embroidered Patches
Below are photos of embroidered patches we were
asked to reproduce, with the embroidered on the left and our dye sublimation versions on the right. We
sometimes add drop shadows to text to simulate three-dimensionality. Note that the lettering is
actually more readable and the map is more accurate and detailed in our dyed version.

♦ Some companies pride themselves on how rough a sketch they can turn into a beautiful patch. Although we are quite skilled with our software, we expect art to be in usable form because we do not charge a setup or art fee or require a minimum order. We will gladly do minor touch-ups, enhancements, and text resets, but we do not create art from scratch or from rough pencil sketches.
♦ We will email back a proof before making your patches. Most products take 2-4 days to make. If you have a deadline, please fill in the must-receive-by date on the shopping cart so we can keep your needs visible as we work.
♦ We ship anywhere in the world.
♦ If you have additional questions, you are welcome to call or write before placing your order.
Please do not submit crude or off-color designs or text, or images for which you do not hold the copyright. We will not make products we consider lewd, vulgar, or just generally inappropriate and we will refund your money
