Prices vary between different suppliers. This is why you should do a little comparison, looking at production techniques, material quality, and any unique offerings from different companies. Ultimately, custom patch prices are determined by a nuanced interplay of different factors, so it takes careful consideration.
Custom embroidered patches are a popular option for our customers. In terms of how much embroidered patches cost, the main variables are size and quantity. For the smallest size (2”), you could order 10 at $6.17 per patch, but the price per patch decreases with larger bulk orders. Let’s take a look at a few options:
This is a common thread between different patch types. Naturally, larger sizes come at a higher cost per patch. Make use of the pricing table at the top of the custom patch page you are exploring.
Iron-on patches are a little more complicated. For example, a basic heat transfer patch to add to a t-shirt can be quite low cost, but you might order an embroidered patch with an iron-on backing, and the pricing is different for this.
Let’s take a look at the pricing for simple custom heat transfer patches in a size of 6”.
Consider patch options when exploring custom patch prices. An iron-on backing is a popular choice for embroidered patches, as it is straightforward to iron on a patch. But they will likely be more expensive per patch than basic heat transfer patches.
There are many other types of patches, with different costs depending on the material, design, and size of the patch. Bulk discounts always help you save money on larger orders, regardless of the other considerations. Let’s take a look at a few other popular patch types:
So, as you can see, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question ‘How much do custom patches cost?’
If you order 50 x 4” embroidered patches, it will cost you $2.90 per patch. For the same size and quantity of printed patches, the price will be $3.56. Embroidery is generally more cost-effective because it is easier to achieve intricate details with embroidery methods than it is with printing. For smaller bulk orders, the setup costs for embroidery machines can be more economical than the setup required for printing.
Of course, there can be exceptions to this. If you choose luxury embroidered patches that involve things like gold thread or 3D/sharp-angled textures, embroidered patches can become more expensive.
Whilst simple embroidery on custom patches is priced lower than printing, it still is not considered a budget option. And more complex designs can actually be among the more expensive patch types available. This is because production requires specialist machines requiring complex setups, and may use a substantial amount of resources for 3D and textures designs.
You are paying a premium for luxury craftsmanship, and also for the durability of the product. Even if you remove an embroidered patch from a garment, it is likely to still be usable. Printed patches can look great, but the design is likely to fade over time with washing and exposure to sunlight. If the cost of custom embroidered name patches seems high, remember what you are getting for your investment.
Meticulous steps are involved in the creation of custom embroidered patches, and this impacts how to price embroidery patches for the customer.
This is a labor-intensive process that requires skilled operators and quality control. With more complex designs, the time and skill required is even higher, and more resources are consumed in production. When you factor in material expenses as well, it is clear that the cost to make a patch is the main reason for the final custom patch pricing.
There are many factors that can impact the timeline of production for a bulk order of custom patches. Design complexity, the quantity ordered, and the production capacity of the manufacturer are all key variables.
The timeline might look something like this:
For smaller orders, this process might take between 1-3 weeks, while it could take a little longer with very large bulk orders. Custom patch cost will reflect this, but we always give a guaranteed delivery date for your planning.
There can be hidden charges that impact custom patches prices. Things that can add to the cost include:
In addition to this, unique requests like luxury thread colors or special backing options might further escalate the cost of custom patches. We will always be completely transparent about our charges and provide definitive estimates that help with your planning.
Custom patch pricing involves a detailed look at factors like the complexity of a logo and the stitch count involved. For a custom embroidered logo patch, higher stitch counts lead to higher costs, affecting the overall cost of the custom patches.
When you place bulk orders, you can expect a reduced price per unit due to lower production costs in economies of scale. Individual custom projects, meanwhile, will usually incur a higher cost per product. These considerations are crucial for accurate cost analysis.

Embroidered Patches
We realize that some patches require a large amount of detail, which is why we offer a technique called dye sublimation. Embroidered and woven patches use thread; some intricate designs can’t be created as clearly as we’d like. With our dye sublimation technique, we use special dyes that bond to fabric molecules, which means we can create detailed printed patches that are nearly photographic in quality. Custom patches pricing provided on an individual basis and will be completed upon request.
