Expert Answers About Custom Patches & Tailored Emblems
Clear answers on artwork preparation, volume discounts, turnaround lead times, and care instructions.
For heavy-duty industrial uniforms, outdoor backpacks, and tactical gear, both 100% embroidered patches with merrowed borders and waterproof molded PVC rubber patches offer the highest abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance.
Merrowed borders feature a heavy, wrapped rolled thread edge ideal for regular geometric shapes (circles, shields, rectangles, squares). Laser-cut borders follow complex, irregular, or contoured silhouettes with microscopic heat sealing that prevents fraying.
Our minimum order quantity starts at just 25 pieces per design. We provide tiered volume discounts for orders of 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, and 5,000+ pieces with zero hidden mold or digitizing fees.
Standard factory production takes 8 to 12 business days following digital proof approval. Expedited rush production (5 to 7 business days) is available upon request for urgent event deadlines.
