Quality and production

Quality, Customization and Production

Every patch is planned before it is made, then built to the shape, size, backing and colors your design needs.

Built From a Planned File

Every embroidered patch starts as a digitized file planned by our designers. Stitch direction, density and underlay are set so small text stays crisp and edges stay clean.

Made for Real Use

Beach days, sun and salt air are hard on fabric. For outdoor and water use, PVC is the most weather-resistant option. For garments washed often, sew-on backing lasts longest.

01How much do custom patches cost in San Diego?

Price depends on patch type, size, embroidery coverage, backing and quantity. The cost per patch drops as quantity goes up. Send your artwork for an exact quote before any work starts.

02What is the minimum order?

Our minimum order is 10 patches. Need only a few? Contact us and we will suggest the best option for your quantity.

03How long does it take to get custom patches?

Timing depends on proof approval, production and shipping. If you have an event date, mention it when you request a quote.

04Do you have a store or pickup location in San Diego?

No. We serve San Diego customers online. You send artwork and approve proofs digitally, and your patches are shipped to your address.

05What kind of artwork do I need?

A vector file is ideal, but a PNG, JPG, photo or hand sketch is enough to start. Our designers prepare the artwork for production.

06Which is better, embroidered or woven patches?

Embroidered patches have a raised, textured look and suit bold designs. Woven patches are flat and better for small text and fine detail.

07Which patches hold up best at the beach or on the water?

PVC patches are waterproof and easy to rinse clean, making them the most practical choice for surf, boating and outdoor gear.

08Should I choose iron-on or sew-on backing?

Iron-on is quick and convenient. Sew-on lasts longer on garments that are washed often, like uniforms and work shirts. You can also iron on a patch and add a few stitches for extra hold.

09What patches work best on hats?

Leather, woven and PVC patches are popular on cap fronts, and small embroidered patches work well on dad hats and beanies. Hat patches are usually stitched on for a clean finish.

10Can you match my brand colors?

We match thread and material colors as closely as possible, including Pantone references. Your proof shows the planned colors before production.

11Can I order patches for my whole team or company?

Yes. Bulk orders are common for uniforms, leagues, schools and merchandise, and they keep every patch consistent while lowering the price per piece.
