Bulk Custom Patches Pricing: How Unit Cost Drops
You can start at 5 pieces, then reorder larger. Per-piece price falls as quantity rises for the same size and style.
Quick answer: bulk custom patch pricing at GetUSAPatches is quoted in USD by size and quantity. The minimum is 5 pieces, and unit cost typically drops at higher tiers such as 50, 100, 500, or 1000. Every run still includes a free mockup in 4–5 hours before production.
What drives patch price
- Finished size in inches
- Quantity tier
- Patch type (embroidered, woven, PVC, etc.)
- Backing and border choices
- Design complexity confirmed on the proof
Why small orders still make sense
A 5-piece run lets teams and shops test fit, color, and customer response before committing to bulk. When the proof-approved design works, reorder the same specs at a higher quantity for a lower unit price. Low MOQ guide: 5-piece minimum.
How to estimate before you quote
Check the public pricing chart for size and quantity ranges, then submit exact artwork for a firm quote. Charts guide planning; proofs and specs finalize the number.
Bulk timeline notes
Proof timing stays 4–5 hours. Delivery is typically 5–7 days after approval; very large quantities can add production time, which we confirm on the quote. Details: production time.
