Choose woven patches when your design has fine detail, small text, or an intricate crest, and embroidered when you want bold, raised, classic texture. Woven patches use thinner threads on a tighter loom, so they reproduce small lettering and complex line work that embroidery would blur — ideal for luxury brand labels, detailed logos, and university seals. They sit flat and lightweight against fabric. Embroidered patches, by contrast, have a raised, tactile surface that reads as premium on uniforms and team gear, and cost less per piece at volume ($0.91 vs $1.54 at 1,000 from Panda Patches). If your art is simple and bold, go embroidered; if it is fine and detailed, go woven. Panda Patches provides a free mockup either way so you can see your specific design in both before deciding. ### How much do custom woven patches cost? Custom woven patches start at $1.54 per piece for a 2-inch design at 1,000 pieces; smaller runs cost more per piece. At Panda Patches, woven pack pricing under 4 inches runs $220 for 50 pieces ($4.40/pc), $350 for 100 ($3.50/pc), $1,200 for 500 ($2.40/pc), and $2,000 for 1,000 ($2.00/pc). Every price includes free worldwide 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 woven patches? The minimum order for woven patches at Panda Patches is 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 7-10 business days from the moment you approve your digital mockup, not from when you order or pay, and standard US delivery is 11-15 business days from that approval. Panda Patches delivers your free mockup within 12-24 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 at 25% of the order total with a $50 minimum, refunded if we cannot meet the date. Free worldwide shipping is included on every order, with door-to-door tracking. For very large runs over 10,000 pieces, we confirm the delivery date in writing at quote time. Because the mockup comes back within 12-24 hours, a quick approval is the fastest way to start the clock, which is how event deadlines 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 worldwide 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 U.S.-registered company (My Custom Patches LLC, a Wyoming LLC) with a U.S. mailing address in Austin, Texas, serving customers nationwide with free worldwide shipping and US-based support that answers every quote within about two business hours. Its custom patches are produced at the company's own facility in Pakistan, operated by Panda Apparel & Technology; no products are manufactured in the United States. Most orders ship within 7 to 10 business days of mockup approval regardless of destination in the US. The company has delivered over one million patches and holds a 4.8-star Trustpilot rating across 115 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 per design, 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 4.8-star rating across 115 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. --- Panda Patches (My Custom Patches LLC, t/a Panda Patches), Austin, Texas.
