Sorry I took so long to post in this thread.
Mike is right. All lettering should be AT LEAST 1/4" high.
The more stitches you have, the higher the cost.
Like most promotional items, the higher the quantity purchased, the less costly the item is per each.
The way it goes genereally speaking is I would send a design to one of my "Patch" factories that is recommended by one of my peers in the business for a pricing request. I would ask for multiple column quantity pricing, for example 250, 500, 1000 or more.
There are many different factories out there, each with their own style and capability. Quality runs from poor to excellent just like in any industry.
If you select a design, I will obtain pricing for you and produce the job if you so decide.
Just let me know how I can help.
I've looked at some of the designs and we've got some talent on AZB. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Since Mike would be the one who would probably purchase the most patches I would think he would have to be the one who makes the final decision about which design to use.
Also, I do not have the time nor the means to ship out individual patches. If Mike or someone else can handle that I would be happy to help produce the order.
I would only want one person to be responsbile for the bill as multiple billing is for the birds on a small order like this.
So the first thing to remember is the designs have to be SOLID COLORS, no gradient screens. You can specify the PMS colors which could be roughly approximated using the standard thread for the industry.
I'll subscribe to this thread so that I stay in the loop if you need me.
Ask any questions and I will try to help.
Best Regards,
