Patch Sizing Guide
Patches are priced and designed around dimensions, so getting the size right early saves a proof round. These are the sizes that work in practice, garment by garment.
Sizes that work, by placement
| Placement | Typical size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Left chest | 70–100mm | The default for club and company crests |
| Sleeve / shoulder | 60–90mm | 85mm is the sweet spot on softshells |
| Full back (MC clubs) | 250–300mm | Three-piece sets quoted as one job |
| Cap front | 50–65mm | Must clear the centre seam |
| Beanie turn-up | 40–55mm | Keep it low-profile |
| Name tape | 100–130 × 20–25mm | Woven reads best at this scale |
How size moves the price
Price follows the average of width and height: up to 40mm is our smallest band, 60–80mm the standard band, and each step above adds roughly 15–20% per patch because stitch count and fabric grow together. The quote builder shows the effect of every millimetre instantly.
Common questions
By the bounding box: the widest and tallest points. A 90 × 70mm shield is priced as an 80mm patch (the average).
Different sizes of the same design are separate digitised runs, so each size counts as its own 10-piece minimum. Clubs usually standardise on two sizes to keep reorders simple.
