Fees Other Patch Companies Charge — and Panda Patches Doesn't
Most custom patch quotes aren't the price you actually pay. Across the US market, companies commonly add a digitizing fee ($10–$30), a PVC mould fee ($50–$100), plus art, proof, and setup fees on top of the advertised per-patch price — which is how a "$1 patch" becomes $3–$5 at checkout. At Panda Patches, your quoted price is the all-in price.
| Fee | Typical elsewhere | Panda Patches |
|---|---|---|
| Setup fee | $20–$50 | $0 |
| Digitizing fee | $10–$30 | $0 |
| PVC mould fee | $50–$100 | $0 |
| Art / proof fee | $10–$25 | $0 |
| Revisions | Per revision | $0 — unlimited |
| Iron-on & sew-on backing | Sometimes extra | $0 (both free) |
| Velcro backing | Per patch | Charged separately |
| US shipping | $8–$25 | $0 — free worldwide |

Patches are priced on the longest dimension, rounded up to the next inch. As a rough guide:
- Small (under 2"): lowest per-piece cost — hat, sleeve, and pocket patches.
- Medium (2"–4"): the most common size — left-chest and cap patches.
- Large (4"+): higher per-piece cost — back patches and banners.
