Custom Patches — FAQ

What types of custom patches do you offer?

Patch&Bagel offers four types of custom patches: embroidered (classic thread stitching, up to 100% fill), woven (fine weave for small text and detail), silk screen × embroidery hybrid (photographic detail and gradients), and PVC rubber (waterproof, 2D/3D moulded). Fabric types come with iron-on, sew-on, or velcro backing. Not sure which to pick? See our patch type comparison guide.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom patches?

Our MOQ is 20 pieces for custom embroidered, woven, and silk screen patches, and 30 pieces for PVC patches — low enough for a small team, club, or first order.

How much do custom patches cost?

Custom embroidered, woven, and silk screen patches (within 9cm) are S$8 per patch at 20 pieces, S$7 at 30+, S$5 at 100+, and S$3 & below at 300+. PVC patches are S$10 per patch at 30+, S$7 at 100+, S$5 at 300+, and S$4 & below at 500+. Pricing drops with larger orders.

Can I get an instant price estimate?

Yes. Use our Instant Custom Patch Quote tool — choose your patch type, quantity, and currency to see an indicative price in seconds. Your final price is confirmed with a free digital proof.

Do you make woven patches?

Yes. Custom woven patches (MOQ 20, from S$8/patch) use a fine loom weave that holds small text and intricate detail more sharply than embroidery — ideal for brand labels, crests, military name tapes, and unit insignia.

How long does it take to produce custom patches?

Production for embroidered, woven, and silk screen patches takes 10–15 working days (about 2 weeks) after digital mock-up approval. PVC patches take around 4 weeks due to the moulding process. Shipping time is additional and varies by destination.

Do you provide a mock-up before production?

Yes. We provide a free digital mock-up for your approval before any production begins. No manufacturing starts until you confirm the design, colours, and dimensions.

Do I pay before or after approving the mock-up?

You approve the mock-up first. Patch&Bagel sends your free digital proof, and production only begins once you have approved it — so you never pay for a patch you have not seen. Revisions to the proof are free and unlimited.

What file format should I send for my design?

We accept PNG, JPEG, AI (Adobe Illustrator), and PDF files. For the most accurate colour matching, provide Pantone (PMS) colour codes alongside your artwork. If you only have a low-resolution image, send it anyway — our team can advise on what is workable.

Do you ship custom patches internationally?

Yes. Patch&Bagel ships custom patches worldwide from Singapore. We offer free worldwide shipping on all custom orders, plus free shipping on other orders over USD $48. International delivery times vary by country.

What is the difference between embroidered and PVC patches?

Embroidered patches use coloured thread stitched onto a fabric base — a classic, textured look that works well for most logos. PVC patches are moulded from soft rubber, making them fully waterproof, more durable outdoors, and better suited to sharp-edged or 3D designs. PVC has a higher MOQ of 30 pieces. Full breakdown: Embroidered vs Woven vs PVC vs Silk Screen.

Which backing options are available?

Three: iron-on (heat-activated adhesive for easy home application), sew-on (raw edge for permanent stitching), and velcro (hook-and-loop, removable — popular for tactical gear, bags, and hats). All three are the same price.

Can I order custom patches for my school, company, or event?

Yes. We produce custom patches for schools, corporations, sports clubs, military and uniformed groups, events, and retail brands. Whether you need 20 pieces or thousands, we can accommodate — WhatsApp +65 8925 9422 to get started.
