Calculate Your Patch Size for Accurate Pricing
Custom patches come in a variety of shapes and sizes, suitable for different applications like scout uniforms, military gear, biker jackets, or sports team apparel. To provide you with an accurate price, we base our quotes on the size of your patch.
Here’s a simple way to calculate the size:
- Measure the Length and Width of your desired patch.
- Add these two measurements together.
- Divide the total by 2.
This calculation gives us the average size of your patch, which is crucial for determining the price. Accurately measuring your patch ensures we can provide you with a precise and fair quote tailored to your specific needs.
How To Determine Your Patch Size
If the height of your patch is 2″ and the width of your patch is 4″, you would add 2 + 4, which equals 6. You then divide 6 by 2, which equals 3, The size the size of your 2″ x 4″ patch would be 3".
Your patch size is determined by taking the height and width,
adding them together, and dividing by 2.
Example: 3W + 2H / 2 = 2.5" Patch
This is for pricing purposes only.
Patch Backing Options
We offer a choice of traditional sew-on backing, iron-on, button loops or Velcro. Each backing type has its advantages for specific uses. Our experienced staff can help you decide which type is best for your particular application.
Tape Backing
An adhesive backing that is a versatile and less permanent than other backing options. It is perfect if you need a quick, easily removable backing option for an outfit or costume.
Iron On Backing
Allowing for quick and easy attachment, all you need is an iron. Simply place the patch on the garment, cover it with a thin, damp towel to prevent burning, then hold the iron over the patch for 20-30 seconds until fully secured.
Velcro Backing
Velcro backing allows you to quickly and easily remove your patch from a garment. Velcro is great for when you have multiple patches or need to be able to remove the patch often.
Plastic Backing
A rigid plastic backing is added to your patches. This gives your patches extra support, meaning they will maintain their shape, even after constant use.
Patch Borders
Hot Cut Edge
Instead of the standard rounded edges, hot cut patches have sharp, detailed edges. Great for patches with fine levels of detail and intricate designs that really stand out!
Merrow® Border
Merrow® sometimes called merrowed borders are the standard in the industry and are considered a classic look. For a simple, yet elegant design on your patches, Merrow® borders are the ideal choice.
Other Patch Options
Metallic Thread
