custom round patches

Custom round patches are available in any diameter from 1 inch to 5 inches. The most popular sizes are 2 inch, 2.5 inch, 3 inch, and 4 inch diameters which fit standard clothing placement areas like sleeves, chest pockets, and cap fronts. Small 1 to 1.5 inch patches work well for hats and bags, while larger 4 to 5 inch patches make statement pieces for jacket backs. We can produce any custom diameter to match your specific design requirements and placement needs.

Custom round patches typically cost $1.50 to $5 per patch depending on size, quantity, and construction method. Simple embroidered 2 inch patches start around $1.50 each in quantities of 100 or more. Detailed 3 inch patches with complex logos cost $2.50 to $4 each. Larger 4 inch patches range from $3.50 to $5 per unit. PVC rubber patches cost slightly more than embroidered versions. Bulk orders of 250, 500, and 1000 units receive automatic volume discounts of 25 to 40 percent off base pricing.

Our minimum order quantity is 50 patches for most custom round patch orders. This low minimum makes custom patches accessible for small businesses, new clothing brands, and organizations with limited budgets. Some complex designs or specialty materials may require higher minimums of 100 pieces. Rush orders and expedited production typically require minimum orders of 100 patches. Wholesale accounts can negotiate lower per unit pricing on minimums of 500 or more patches.

Round patches work with most common fabrics including cotton, polyester, denim, canvas, fleece, nylon, and leather. Iron on patches adhere best to natural fiber fabrics like cotton and cotton blends. Sew on patches attach permanently to any fabric type and are recommended for stretchy materials like athletic wear. Velcro backed patches require loop panel surfaces to attach properly. PVC patches work well on outdoor gear and waterproof materials. Consult with our team about specific fabric applications to choose appropriate backing options.

Iron on round patches attach using household irons set to cotton or high heat settings. Place the patch on the desired location with design facing up. Cover with a thin cloth or pressing paper to protect the patch surface. Apply firm pressure with the iron for 30 to 45 seconds, ensuring even heat distribution across the entire patch. Allow to cool completely before handling. For best results, do not wash garments for 24 hours after application to allow adhesive to fully cure. Sewing around patch borders provides extra security for items that receive frequent washing.
