I was talking about the same company the whole time. I was told by them that their minimum is 50 patches but when I pulled up the quote for the 6.5" patch I realized they quoted me on 25 so I figure they will do less than 50 if the patch is over a certain size. I do all my smaller patch orders in house and anything 50 or larger I send to them. Their quality is excellent and their turnaround is consistent for being a overseas company approx 4 weeks. They use all Madiera poly thread and you can ask them for a swatch and they send you a small card that shows thier twill colors and their main thread colors but you can also send them PMS #'s, R/A, Madiera. Here is a copy of what they send when they quote which gives you some good info on how they work. This is the only patch company I have used with the exception of ANdrew at Salem Emblem Shop but he is in Oregon and the prices are not close to what you can do overseas. I am not big on the whole overseas thing but for patches it definitely has its place if you want to compete. Thanks for the quote request. Quote is based on a patch with a twill background at the below size. If size changes, price may change accordingly. Prices quoted are based on our shipping in approximately 30 days from time of receipt of order with all information needed, including clear art with colors and deposit. *This is a quote only.

Heat seal is to be used at your own risk and we advise you test the material you will be ironing on first for heat resistance. We do not recommend using heat seal on leather. We normally ship in approximately 4 weeks, however with back patches, it may take a little longer. We will try our best to get these to you in 4 weeks, but with the detail on a back patch and the desire to get it perfect, it may be delayed. We try to accommodate you with offering our rush services on the back patches, but to make sure everything comes out exactly how you want it, we would rather have the time to meet your needs. If you order, prior to production our digitizer will sew out a sample which you will receive a scan of by .jpg for approval. We take pride in the quality of our products and guarantee your satisfaction 100%. Also, please keep in mind that if the sew out is just like the art, but the customer decides to make changes, such as wording changes or image changes, there may be a fee. For small changes, the fee will be a $20 amendment charge, and it may be higher for a lot of changes or for larger changes. So, make sure your art is how you want the patch to look in order to avoid these fees. Please call or reply if you have any questions! We require a 50% non-refundable deposit on the patches by credit card at the start of your order. On back patches, we will also charge the set up fee in full. We require a 50% non-refundable deposit by credit card at the start of your order. We will accept checks or money orders, but will wait until we receive them to start your order. We will require a credit card to keep on file and will do a test charge which may show up on your account initially but will never go through. We keep the credit card on file and have the right to charge it if we send out orders net 30 and don't receive payment on time. If you place an order via email, please make sure that you get a response from us. We will not be responsible for lost or misdirected emails or emails deleted automatically with spam. We will respond to all orders placed via email, which means if you didn't hear from us, we didn't get it. If we give you an ETA prior to ordering, it is only valid if the order is placed the same day. If you want an ETA for an order placed at a later date, please let us know. As noted above, we ship in approximately 4 weeks from time of order. If you need something by a certain final date, like for an event, please let us know. Rush Service is available. Please allow for shipping time from CA to you. Prices quoted do not include UPS charges, which are at your expense. We typically ship by UPS 3 day, depending where in the country you are. Please advise if you want your order shipped by faster method or if ground, which can take up to a week for delivery, will do. Please call if you should have any questions.
