Custom girl scout patches

Custom girl scout patches typically cost between $1.50 and $3.50 per patch depending on size, complexity, and order quantity. Simple 2-inch patches start around $1.50 for orders of 100 pieces. Larger 3-4 inch patches with multiple colours cost $2.50 to $3.50 each. Minimum orders of 25 pieces make custom patches affordable for small troops. Volume discounts apply at 50, 100, and 250 quantities, with per-piece costs decreasing significantly for larger orders benefiting council events and camps.

Cheap custom girl scout patches are available from manufacturers offering low minimum orders and competitive pricing designed for troop budgets. Look for suppliers with 25-50 piece minimums and transparent pricing showing volume discounts. Quality affordable patches balance cost with durability ensuring patches last throughout a scout's program. Avoid extremely cheap patches that may fade or fall off quickly. Reputable manufacturers provide budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality scouts deserve.

Iron-on girl scout patches feature heat-activated adhesive backing allowing application using household irons without sewing. Parents or older scouts place patches on vests or sashes and apply heat for 30-60 seconds, creating permanent bonds. Iron-on patches provide convenient application for families without sewing skills or time. Quality iron-on patches remain securely attached through normal wear and gentle washing throughout a scout's time in the program.

Most custom patch manufacturers require minimum orders of 25-50 pieces due to setup costs and production efficiency. True no-minimum custom patches are rare and significantly more expensive per piece. For Girl Scout troops, 25-piece minimums are typically manageable as patches can be distributed to current members with extras for new recruits. Some suppliers offer stock fun patches individually, but custom designs specific to your troop require minimum orders making production economically viable.

Custom girl scout patches typically require 10-12 business days for standard production after artwork approval. This timeline includes design digitising, production setup, manufacturing, quality inspection, and shipping. Rush production services can reduce turnaround to 7 business days for urgent needs with additional fees. Add 3-5 days for shipping to most locations. Plan patch orders at least 3-4 weeks before needed dates allowing time for design consultation, approval, production, and delivery.

Iron-on backing is best for Girl Scout patches when convenience and easy application are priorities for busy families. Iron-on patches allow quick application at home without sewing skills. Sew-on backing provides maximum durability for permanent attachment lasting throughout a scout's entire program. Velcro backing works for interchangeable patches scouts can swap based on activities. Most Girl Scout troops prefer iron-on for fun patches and event commemorative, while some choose sew-on for troop identification patches and major achievements.
