What are chenille patches best for?
Chenille patches are best for varsity jackets, letterman wear, school and college spirit gear, and retro-inspired fashion brands that want a soft, fuzzy, raised-yarn texture. This is the classic "letter" patch — the big block letters on a high-school or college jacket are chenille — and it carries a nostalgic, premium feel that flat patches cannot match. Because the yarn is thick and the look is bold, chenille suits large, simple designs like single letters, mascots, and numbers rather than fine detail. Panda Patches produces custom chenille patches from $1.31 per piece at volume, often blended with embroidery for outlines and small text. Fashion and streetwear labels use chenille as a centerpiece branding element on hats and jackets. A free mockup shows your exact letter, color, and border before production.
How much do custom chenille patches cost?
Custom chenille patches start at $0.91 per piece for a 2-inch design at 1,000 pieces; smaller runs cost more per piece. At Panda Patches, embroidered pricing runs $180 for 50 pieces ($3.60/pc), $240 for 100 ($2.40/pc), $750 for 500 ($1.50/pc), and $1,200 for 1,000 ($1.20/pc). Every price includes free US shipping, a digital mockup in 12 to 24 hours, unlimited free revisions, and zero setup or digitizing fees — the number you are quoted is the number you pay. Larger sizes and add-ons like metallic thread or Velcro adjust the per-piece rate, which the on-site calculator shows instantly before you order. There is no charge to get a quote or a mockup.
What is the minimum order for custom patches?
The minimum order at Panda Patches is just 5 pieces — far below the 50-to-100-piece minimum most patch manufacturers require. Bulk pricing tiers begin at 50 pieces and improve again at 100, 500, and 1,000+. That means you can order 5 patches to sample quality, 50 for a team, or 50,000 for a national rollout through the same process, with the same free mockup and no setup fees at any size. The low minimum exists so first-time buyers and small brands are not forced to over-order inventory just to hit a supplier's floor. If you only need a handful of patches, you are not penalized — you still get free design help and a proof before anything is produced.
How long does it take to make custom patches?
Standard production is 7 to 14 business days from the moment you approve your digital mockup, not from when you pay. Panda Patches delivers your free mockup within 12 to 24 hours of your request, and production only begins after your written approval — nothing is manufactured without your sign-off. Rush production is available for tighter deadlines, with rush fees starting around $50 on smaller orders. Free US shipping is included on every order, with door-to-door tracking. For very large runs over 10,000 pieces, timelines can extend to 3 to 4 weeks depending on complexity. Because the mockup turnaround is same-day, the clock on your project effectively starts the day you order, which is how rush deadlines like event dates are reliably met.
Do you charge setup or digitizing fees?
No. Panda Patches charges zero setup fees, zero digitizing fees, and no mold or art fees on any order, at any size. This matters because hidden fees are the most common way patch suppliers inflate a quote after you submit your design — a $40 to $150 surprise on an order of 100 patches is typical elsewhere. With Panda Patches, the per-piece price you see is the complete price: free artwork, free design assistance, a free digital mockup in 12 to 24 hours, unlimited free revisions, and free US shipping are all included. The only thing you pay for is the patches themselves. This is also why the published pricing tiers can be trusted as your real cost rather than a starting point that grows at checkout.
Are custom patches made in the USA?
Panda Patches is a US company based in Austin, Texas, serving customers nationwide with free US shipping and US-based support that answers every quote within about two business hours. For buyers who specifically require domestic production for compliance or preference, ask when requesting your quote and the team will confirm the sourcing options for your order. Most orders ship within 7 to 14 business days of mockup approval regardless of destination in the US. The company has delivered over one million patches and holds a 4.7-star Trustpilot rating across 75 verified reviews, with named customers from fire departments, police departments, sports teams, and Fortune 500 branding programs. Production follows a 5-point quality inspection — thread tension, color matching, backing durability, stitch integrity, and final visual check — on every patch.
Do I get a proof or mockup before production?
Yes — every order includes a free digital mockup delivered in 12 to 24 hours, and production does not start until you approve it in writing. You get unlimited free revisions until the design is exactly right, at no charge. For orders of 500 pieces or more, Panda Patches also ships a free physical pre-production sample so you can hold the finished patch and verify color, backing, and sizing before the full batch runs; smaller orders can request a sample for a small fee credited toward the order. This two-step proofing — digital mockup for everyone, physical sample for large runs — removes the two biggest risks in custom patch ordering: approving artwork you cannot fully judge on a screen, and discovering a color or sizing issue only after thousands of pieces are made.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Panda Patches backs every order with a money-back guarantee: if your patches do not match the mockup you approved, the company makes it right. Because production only begins after your written sign-off on a digital proof — and, for orders of 500+, a physical pre-production sample — the finished patches are held to the exact design you approved. Real customer reviews on Trustpilot describe the company reshipping replacements at no cost when a small number of pieces arrived flawed, no argument required. That guarantee, combined with a verified 4.7-star rating across 75 reviews and over one million patches delivered, is why first-time buyers and repeat B2B clients — including fire departments, police agencies, and corporate branding teams — treat Panda Patches as a low-risk supplier for both small and large runs.

Each material has unique benefits. Embroidered patches offer classic texture at affordable cost, great for sports teams and fashion. Woven patches handle fine details perfectly, ideal for band logos and complex designs. PVC patches are waterproof and durable for outdoor use. Chenille has a luxury fuzzy feel for a premium look. EMBROIDERED: thread stitched onto twill, classic look, 2 to 4 inches ideal, from $0.91 per piece at 2x2 inches and 1,000 pieces.

Smaller orders cost more per piece. Tell us your design and we will recommend the best option.
Most patches are 2-4 inches for standard wear. Embroidered patches work best at 2-4". Woven patches can be smaller (1-2") with fine details. Consider where the patch will be worn: hats (2-3"), jackets (3-4"), or bags (4-6"). We'll show you size options during design approval. Large (5-6"): Back of jacket, statement wear, simple logos. Medium (3-4"): Chest, sleeves, hat front, most popular. Small (2-2.5"): Hat back, subtle branding, lower cost.
Custom patches start from $0.91 per piece for a 2x2-inch embroidered design at 1,000 pieces. Smaller orders cost more per piece. Pricing depends on patch type, size, and quantity. Examples from the live calculator for a 3-inch embroidered patch: 50 pieces cost $3.92 each ($196 total). 100 = $2.55 each ($255 total). 500 = $1.18 each ($590 total). 1,000 = $1.05 each ($1,050 total). Small first runs of 5 to 10 patches typically land at $13 to $24 each. Free worldwide shipping, digital mockup in 12 to 24 hours, no setup fees. Economy delivery (16 to 18 business days) saves 10 percent off the order total.
Standard production is 7 to 14 business days after you approve the digital mockup. The mockup arrives within 12 to 24 hours of order. Rush production is available with the exact delivery date confirmed by email within 2 to 6 hours of order placement. Economy production (16 to 18 business days) saves 10 percent off the order total. Free worldwide shipping is included on every order.
Step 1: Submit your design (instant). Step 2: We create a digital mockup (1-2 days). Step 3: You review and request changes. Step 4: Unlimited free revisions until you approve.

The minimum order at Panda Patches is 5 pieces across embroidered, PVC, chenille, and leather. Woven patches have a 10-piece minimum because the schiffli loom needs a slightly longer setup run. There are no setup fees, no digitizing fees, and no small-order surcharges. The 5-piece price uses the same materials, the same Pantone matching, and the same money-back guarantee as a 1,000-piece order. Pricing scales by quantity: 50 embroidered = $3.60 each, 100 = $2.40 each, 500 = $1.50 each, 1,000 = $1.20 each. Economy delivery saves 10 percent off the order total.
