How long does it take to get custom patches?

Updated June 2026
Quick Answer

Custom embroidered patches ship in about 10 business days - from when you approve your artwork to the parcel leaving us, with production included and shipping free. The AI design step itself takes only minutes.

Custom embroidered patches ship in about 10 business days: once you approve your final artwork, that window covers the pre-production sample and the full run, and the parcel goes out free. Transit time to your door depends on where you are. There is no separate "rush" tier to pay for; 10 business days is simply the standard for every order, and shipping is free.

The design step itself is where PatchDesign.AI saves the most time. Instead of emailing files back and forth with a graphic designer for days, Parker - our AI - generates a production-ready patch design from your description in seconds. You can iterate, refine, and approve in a single session, cutting what used to be a 3-5 day design phase down to under an hour.

The clock that matters starts at artwork approval, not when you first place your order, so settling your design quickly is the single biggest lever on your timeline. The most common reason an order runs long is revision rounds after approval - which is exactly why we let you fully dial in the design with Parker before you sign off, so there are no surprises.

How does the AI patch design process work?
Describe your patch to Parker our AI in plain English, review the generated image, refine until it is perfect, then submit for a quote.
How does custom patch pricing work?
Designing your patch is free, and so is shipping - you only pay for production (the cost to manufacture your patches). This page covers that production pricing, which depends on patch type, size, and quantity. Our calculator gives an instant estimate, and your production price is guaranteed to be the lowest.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom patches?
There is no minimum if you only need one: a single patch is a real order, $30 photographed or $60 mailed, with $30 credited back on a later run. Production runs have floors, and they are low - 10 for embroidered and PVC, 25 for woven and printed/sublimated, 50 for chenille. Per-piece pricing then drops at 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 500+.
