We can make gigantic eighteen-inch by eighteen-inch printed patches for a full square foot-and-a-half of patched awesomeness.
Yes — for clarity’s sake on your patch, we can only do eight colors. For more than that, we recommend the printed patch which has no color limits.
Detail we can handle, but small lettering — especially smaller than 5mm or roughly half an inch — we tend to advise against as virtually all designs except printed items become illegible at this size. We’ll let you know if a detail in your design is too small to be effectively rendered on your item or necessitates a change in production style.
For us, patch size is just a simple height by width measurement that can be accomplished by an everyday ruler. Some patchmakers complicate this by making it a matter of dividing the height by width and charging you based on the answer, but we spare you the long division.
Unfortunately, the terry cloth material would make a direct print at best a fuzzy copy of what you wanted. Our patches — including our printed patches — will do a much more satisfactory job of getting your design on right and keeping it there game after game.
Patches’ maximum size depends on their type; though for most it’s going to be a maximum of eleven twelve inches (corner from corner), speciality patches like PVC and bouillon can only be made up to five inches. Name patches can also exceed twelve inches across, in certain circumstances. Your creative specialist will be able to fill you in on the details — and if you order is large enough, we might be able to break the rules and make an exception for you.
Our minimum order quantity is ten patches. However, we’re happy to discuss pricing and quantity options for special orders.
Once you approve your final sample, your patch order will go into full production! We’ll notify you of this as well as the moment it ships, providing tracking information so you can watch it all the way to your door.
Each order’s turnaround time depends on your design and its complexity. During the design and manufacturing processes, your representative will be able to provide you with delivery and shipment estimates — you’ll also receive email updates as your order makes it way through our system.

Since each patch is unique, pricing is provided in the individual quote process — meaning you get the best possible price for the options and design you request. You can get a custom quote in your inbox within seconds by filling out the quote form above.
After you approve your artwork mockup, we will manufacture an actual sample for you within 5-8 business days. Upon completion of your sample leather patch/label, we will email a digital photo of your sample to your inbox. At this point you are welcome to approve the sample (if you are 100% satisfied), or request an edit (if there are any changes you would like to be made).
We typically provide a free sewn-out sample photos for your approval through email before we move your order into full production. Bullion patches/crests are a special product because the actual sample typically differs from the digital mockup more so than other custom products. Before you decide upon your design requirements to receive your mockup, it’s recommended to discuss with your The/Studio representative the manufacturing limitations that result from the hand-crafted and age-old materials that are involved with this special type of emblem.
We do not, however, ship physical samples for free. If you do require an in-hand tactile experience with your bullion patch/crest before you approve full production, we can ship a single physical sample to you for an surfee of $75.00 USD, and a time of 3-6 days will be added onto your total turnaround time.
We’re more than happy to provide a digital mock-up of what your patches will look like before you pay your invoice. While this mock-up will differ slightly from the final technical mock-up you’ll approve — what the factory actually feeds into its machines — it provides a highly accurate and often exact copy of what the final product will be. No surprises with us.
We put a lot of thought into our prices. Some of the more important variables are quantity, stylistic add-ons, size and “surface area” of the modifications — i.e., how much printing, sowing or other graphically-related work does the project require? The person most equipped to give you a price for your product is your sale representative or our useful DIY — both can give you a detailed analysis of your quote and what things featured into our per-item price. Happy hunting!

No, we don’t. If you’re looking for a no-minimum patch producer, we’re one of the few folks who do that. Still, we recommend that if you’re going the through trouble to order one patch, you might as well have a dozen or more made — your sales representative would be happy to show how the per-price item goes down tremendously after even ten items. That’s because we spread the cost of your unique custom patch’s set-up across however many that you order.
That said, if you want something that’s truly one of a kind, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll be happy to make a limited edition run of just one.
We work with an international network of factories to fulfill our orders — in places from China and the Philippines to the United States and beyond. Your order will be matched with the factory that can best execute your design. If you have specific production requirements like made-in-the-USA, we’re happy to make accommodations.
Yes. After your patches have been manufactured, they are checked at the factory and double-checked at our distribution center to ensure design fidelity and quality. If there are any issues, we will notify you and work together to address any issues.
