Custom Patches for Hats: MOQ, Pricing & Turnaround

Minimum order, pricing and turnaround when you are putting patches on hats and beanies.

Ordering custom patches for hats

Patches on hats and caps are one of the most common uses we produce for — brand merchandise, team gear, and uniform caps all typically use an embroidered, PVC, or leather patch applied to a blank or customer-supplied hat.

Minimum order quantities

Custom hats and beanies have a 5-piece minimum order. The patch itself follows the same 5-piece patch MOQ, and the two are typically combined into one order when the patch is being applied directly to hats you're ordering through us.

Blanks vs. customer-supplied apparel

You can either have us source the hat blanks, or send your own caps for us to apply the patch to. If you already have a hat supplier or specific blank you need to match, sending your own apparel is the more common route for larger brand orders.

Turnaround

Standard patch production is 8-12 working days, with 5-7 working day rush available. Hat production takes 7-12 working days when you supply the blanks and 12-22 working days when we source them, plus 5-7 business days for international shipping — talk to our team for an exact timeline on your order.

Pricing

Hats and patches are priced by custom quote, based on the hat type, patch type and size, quantity, and any special techniques such as 3D puff embroidery. Quotes come back within 24 hours, with no commitment required.
