View product →What drives patch pricing?
Construction, material, size, detail, colour count, backing, tooling, quantities, inspection, packaging and delivery all contribute.
Why are two same-size patches priced differently?
Stitch count, stone count, relief, edge complexity, colour changes and material grade can differ.
Does a larger order reduce cost per piece?
Fixed work can be spread over more units, but material, production, inspection and delivery remain.
Are tooling and samples included?
They may be separate or included. Ask for each scope line and any production credit.
How can I reduce cost without reducing quality?
Simplify unnecessary versions, consolidate materials or colours, optimise size and use suitable packaging.
How do I compare supplier prices?
Issue one controlled RFQ and align specification, quantity, sample, pack, currency and delivery basis.
