If you are doing more than 50 out source them. Most of the large patch
companies will not do less than 50 unless they are large patches then they do
less. I have patchsupply.com do all of mine. They do great work and the price
is great with 4-6 wek turnaround and you can pay 25% extra for 4 weeks and 50%
extra to get them in 2 weeks. They do them overseas so even the rush 2 weeks
can take an extra week sometimes cause they have to pass through customs and
you just never know what could happen there but 90% of the time mine come
exatly when they say they will. We do a 4.5" tall star for the local sheriff's
department with 16k+ stitches and at qty of 200 my cost is around $2.25. I
mark them up a $1 or so and make a few hundred bucks for doing nothing more
than sending an e-mail for reorders. If you are doing low qty then you can do
them like a few people suggested above or you can buy the patch material and
setup the patch and sew a walk stitch around the logo in the sha
pe and size you want the patch and send them off to someone that does
merrowing (I use Salem Emblem Shop cause they are close for shipping).
Merrowing costs $0.75 up to a few bucks depending on size and quantity but if
you are doing small runs of patches customers should expect to pay extra for
that. Sometimes doing 15 patches at the price I need to do them in house is
more to the customer than having 50 made overseas so make sure you do some math
to figure whats best for the customer. If you need any more information on
merrowers or where to get the patch material let me know. I actually get my
material from Salem Emblem but not sure they normally sell the material but he
sells it to me. They get it from Troy Inc and I would have to find that info.
