Patches Made For Teams At

Panda Patches delivers rush custom patches in hand in as fast as 5 business days on eligible orders. Order from just 5 pieces with a free 12-24 hour mockup and no setup fees. Embroidered, PVC, chenille, woven, leather and printed patches all qualify on material; PVC rush production takes 5–8 business days, so PVC dates run later. Because we own our production facility, rush capacity scales: we delivered 9,600 patches for Wise's Nasdaq Times Square activation in two shipments, both on the contractual dates. We confirm your exact in-hand delivery date by email within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST) of ordering — if we can't hit your deadline, we remove the rush fee.
The floor this runs on. Our own facility in Pakistan, operated by Panda Apparel & Technology: computerized embroidery, digitally controlled chenille, PVC molding and laser-engraved leather, ending in the stock room. Owning the floor is why rush capacity is ours to schedule rather than something we queue for. More about how we make patches.

Earliest date we'd confirm if you approve your mockup by 5 PM ET — exact date by email within our staffed hours. If we cannot hit your date, we remove the rush fee.
Takes your type, size, quantity, backing and destination up to the form. You add artwork, your in-hand date and how to reach you.
Prices are all-in USD with free worldwide shipping, a free digital mockup in 12–24 hours and no setup or digitizing fees. For an exact quote at any size or quantity from 5 pieces up, use the full patch calculator.
Rush Delivery Policy
The full terms, in the order they affect you. If anything here conflicts with a quote we sent you in writing, the written quote wins.
- Who can rush
- Rush is confirmed order by order against one rule with five parts: the patch type is one of our standard rush materials (Embroidered, PVC, woven, chenille, leather, printed); the destination; the quantity per design (up to 250 pieces per design gets a rush date straight away, above that we confirm it by email); how complex the artwork is; and our production capacity on your dates. We confirm your in-hand date in writing within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST) of ordering, before the rush fee is charged. Specialty finishes (sequin, chenille TPU, chenille glitter and 3D embroidered transfers) are reviewed by hand before we commit to a rush date.
- When the clock starts
- At your written mockup approval — not when you pay, and not when you submit artwork. Production cannot begin before sign-off, so that is the only honest start point.
- When we confirm your date
- Within 2 to 6 staffed hours, Monday to Saturday, 11 AM to 7 PM EST. A request arriving outside those hours is answered first thing the next staffed day.
- What rush costs
- 25% of the patch subtotal including backing add-ons, with a $50 minimum. Shipping is already free, so nothing else is surcharged. Negotiated wholesale terms override this — see our guarantees.
- If we cannot meet your deadline
- We charge no rush fee and offer the standard date instead. If you decline before production starts, you are refunded in full.
- If we miss a date we confirmed
- The rush fee is refunded in full. That is the remedy, and it is what has happened on every rush order where we missed a confirmed date.
- Physical samples
- Rush orders proceed on the digital mockup. Asking for a physical sample first adds its own production and transit time and pushes the in-hand date out — it is a trade-off, not an extra.
- Split shipments
- A rush order ships in more than one shipment only under a written plan that we send and you accept before production starts. The plan sets which pieces ship first and the in-hand date of each shipment. Without an accepted written plan, the whole order ships together on the confirmed date.
Which patch types can be rushed
All six materials the calculator prices qualify, from 5 pieces. The window is the same for five of them — what changes your date is the destination and how quickly you approve the mockup. PVC is the exception: its rush production alone is 5–8 business days, because every design needs its own mould.

| Material | Rush available | Fastest in hand (US) | Design notes | Date confirmed | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embroidered | Yes | As fast as 5 business daysat or below 250 pieces per design | Minimum text 4 mm sans · 8 mm serif · 10 mm decorative | Yes | Specs |
| PVC | Yes | As fast as 9 business daysat or below 250 pieces per design | Minimum text ~3 mm | Yes | Specs |
| Woven | Yes | As fast as 5 business daysat or below 250 pieces per design | Minimum text 1.5 mm sans / 2 mm serif | Yes | Specs |

| Printed | Yes | As fast as 5 business daysat or below 250 pieces per design | Minimum text 2 mm | Yes | Specs |
Above 250 pieces per design the calculator shows an estimate and we confirm the date by email rather than quoting one automatically — we will not commit to a date we have not scheduled.
Specialty finishes — sequin, chenille TPU, chenille glitter and 3D embroidered transfers — are reviewed by hand before we commit to a rush date. They are not excluded; they are quoted rather than auto-quoted.
Rush production is 1–3 business days from written mockup approval. Based on the delivery policy above and the carrier-verified order log. Design notes are the published manufacturability minimums from each material’s product page.
How Rush Orders Work
- Send your design and deadline. Upload artwork (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG, JPG) or describe your idea in the form above — and tell us the date you need patches in hand.
- We confirm your in-hand date within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST). You get your exact delivery date by email before any rush fee is charged. Doesn't work? We remove the rush fee.
- Approve your mockup in 12-24 hours. Unlimited free revisions — production never starts without your sign-off.
- Patches in hand in as fast as 5 business days on eligible orders. Who qualifies is one rule, set out in the rush policy below; free worldwide shipping with full tracking either way.
The clock runs from your mockup approval, through production, to transit. How those stages add up to an in-hand date is explained in our glossary entry on turnaround time: production, transit and in hand.
Recent Rush Orders
Shipping to the UK? UK rush orders are in hand in as fast as 3 business days, duty paid — carrier verified, with the waybill on the page.
Real orders from our production log — updated as rush orders complete. Rush is the exception, not the norm: 68 of 1,232 orders to 9 September 2026, about 1 in 18. That counts orders where rush was actually requested or the rush fee was charged. An earlier version of this line said 1 in 10 by also counting any order carrying a customer deadline, which is a different thing — telling us when you need patches is not the same as asking us to rush them.

Business days counted from mockup approval to a recorded delivery, Monday to Friday, with public holidays counted as business days — the same rule our delivery estimator uses, which keeps no holiday calendar. Two rows span one: PP-11413 includes Labor Day (7 September 2026) and PP-10191 includes Martin Luther King Jr. Day (19 January 2026); excluding holidays those rows would read 4 and 5 instead of 5 and 6. Rows showing “Delivered: not verified” have a carrier scan but no delivery record in our system — we do not count those as delivered. Regenerated from the CRM on 2 October 2026.

Rush Custom Patches FAQ
Rush orders arrive in hand in as fast as 5 business days on eligible orders, compared to our standard 11-15 business days turnaround. Your free digital mockup arrives in 12-24 hours, and after you order rush we confirm your exact in-hand date by email within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST). If the date doesn't work, we remove the rush upgrade and refund the rush fee.
Yes, when the order qualifies. Rush is confirmed order by order against one rule with five parts: the patch type is one of our standard rush materials (Embroidered, PVC, woven, chenille, leather, printed); the destination; the quantity per design (up to 250 pieces per design gets a rush date straight away, above that we confirm it by email); how complex the artwork is; and our production capacity on your dates. We confirm your in-hand date in writing within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST) of ordering, before the rush fee is charged. A rush order ships in more than one shipment only under a written plan that we send and you accept before production starts. The plan sets which pieces ship first and the in-hand date of each shipment. Without an accepted written plan, the whole order ships together on the confirmed date. For Wise's Nasdaq Times Square activation we delivered 9,600 woven patches across 16 designs in two shipments on May 4 and May 7, under a plan agreed in writing, both on the contractual dates, with every design approved before production. For event deadlines, uniform rollouts, and line-of-duty memorial patches, tell us your date and we plan production around it.
The fastest realistic turnaround is patches in hand in about 5 business days: mockup in 12-24 hours, your approval, rush production, and tracked express shipping. Whether your order gets that date depends on the rush rule: material, destination, quantity per design, artwork complexity and our capacity on your dates. We state turnaround in business days and confirm your exact date by email before production starts — we don't make next-day promises we can't keep.
Rush costs 25% of your order total with a $50 minimum, on every order type — the calculator and the fixed-price packs use the same rule. You see the exact figure before you pay, we confirm your delivery date by email within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST) of ordering, and if we cannot meet that date the rush fee is refunded. Everything else stays the same: free digital mockup, no setup or digitizing fees, and free worldwide shipping.
All six patch types the calculator prices qualify for rush production, from 5 pieces: embroidered, PVC, woven, chenille, leather, and printed. PVC rush production takes 5–8 business days because every design needs its own mould, so a PVC rush date is later than the others and is confirmed in writing for each order. That is not a policy line; it is the order book. Rush is genuinely the exception — 68 of 1,232 orders to 9 September 2026, about 1 in 18, counting orders where rush was actually requested or the rush fee was charged — and the production log below carries a leather and a printed example alongside the others, regenerated straight from our order records, so what it shows is what the CRM holds rather than a curated selection. Backing options — iron-on, sew-on, Velcro, sticker — don't affect the rush timeline. Patch type is one of the five parts of the rush rule; the others are the destination, the quantity per design, how complex the artwork is and our capacity on your dates. That is why we confirm your exact date within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST) instead of quoting one number for every order.
Three things: your artwork (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG, or JPG — or just describe your idea), your quantity, and the date you need patches in hand. Submit them through the quote form; your mockup arrives in 12-24 hours and production starts the moment you approve.
Yes, on eligible orders: we can put patches in your hands in 5 business days. Submit the quote form with your deadline and we confirm within 2–6 staffed hours (Mon–Sat, 11 AM–7 PM EST) whether your order qualifies on the five parts of the rush rule (material, destination, quantity per design, artwork complexity and capacity), before you pay anything for rush.
Who makes your patches
Imran Raza — Founder & CEO, Panda Patches
Rush orders run through the same facility with priority scheduling — which is how we can commit to an exact in-hand date within hours, not days. Panda Patches (legally My Custom Patches LLC) is run by Imran Raza, who has spent 13+ years in custom patch and textile manufacturing. We’re the maker, not a reseller. Most suppliers just want the sale — we get the mockup right first, send unlimited free revisions until you approve, and only then start production. If a finished patch isn’t right, we remake it.
