There are four main factors that determine price. They are size, quantity, number of colors, and percentage of embroidery.
The size of the emblem is determined by adding the length of the patch and the width of the patch, and dividing the sum by two. By this formula, a 3" circle, a 4" X 2" rectangle, and a 5" by 1" rectangle would all be classified as 3" emblems.
Emblems can be ordered in whatever amount you need; however, there are price breaks determined by quantity. These breaks occur at 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 1,000, 2000, 3,000, and 5,000 pieces. Additional price breaks are available for higher amounts.
Each patch design comes with up to and including nine colors of standard rayon thread. If more colors are needed, they are available for a nominal charge per color. Specialty threads, such as metallic, glow-in-the-dark, and UV threads are also available; however they do carry a surcharge.
All embroidered emblems are stitched on a background material. Typically, this material is cotton twill; felt is also available. The amount of stitching on that background determines the percentage of embroidery, and is a factor considered in pricing.
