Custom Embroidered Patches

Embroidered patches are a vibrant, long-lasting, and affordable way to personalize apparel and accessories. Be it for gifting, advertisement, communities, or any other usage, we can help you bring your vision to life. 

Our small business primarily focuses on made-to-order custom accessories in smaller quantities(<50), this way we can guarantee that every item we create is made with care and attention to detail. If you’re searching to get hundreds of patches for as cheap as possible, we’re not the right company, but if you’re looking for handcrafted patches made in the USA with no minimum order quantity, you’re at the right place. 

What we provide: 

• Fully embroidered patches in up to 5” size
• Embroidered name tags with merrow edge
• Sew-on or iron-on backing
• Options for pin-back or keychain/jet tag variants
• Die-cut patches cut to the shape of your custom designs
• No minimum order quantity 
• Quick turnaround time
• Design work in case you don’t have one yet
• Test stitch-out for approval before production

Our process: 

Design 

If you already have a design: we’ll need your design(s) its image files (png, jpeg,pdf etc.). For best results, please try to provide the image in good quality and higher resolution. 

Please send or share files with sweethavencottageme@gmail.com

If you don’t have a design yet: We can make it for you! 

We’ll need a detailed description of your idea and any reference images you might have to help bring your concept to life. 

The prices entail the possibility of redrawing/ major changes in the artwork up to 3 times in the check-in phases. Major changes include redrawing elements, changing the layout and composition etc. Changes such as colors or font types are not considered major changes. 

The client will receive progress shots of the phases to follow my work and submit change requests as needed. 

Once a phase is approved by the client, no free revisions can be asked on that part of the designing process. 

At the end of the design process, the client will receive the design in hi-res image format (png, tiff, pdf, jpeg etc.).   

Turnaround time for design process: 1-5 business days, depending on complexity 

Design fees:

Simple design (simple shapes, text, logos): $25

Complex design: Starting $40 - please inquire

 

Digitizing 

Digitizing entails the process of converting artwork into a digital file using a software that allows embroidery machines to understand the needle's path. Digitizing can make or break an embroidery design, and make a real difference between results. Each of our designs is hand-digitized with expertise, we never use auto-digitizing to ensure the best quality for your patches. 

The client will receive a digital mock-up of the digitized version for approval. 

Upon approval, a test stitch-out will be made and the client will receive photos/videos of the embroidered design. 

Digitizing turnaround time: 6 hours to 2 business days, depending on complexity 

Digitizing fees:

Simple design: $25

Complex design: $40 to $80 depending on complexity 

The digitizing fee includes the test stitch-out and up to 2 changes if needed. 

 

Making the patch(es)

Once the test stitch-out is approved by the client we’ll begin making the final patch(es). 

Turnaround time: 1-5 business days depending on quantity and complexity.
