Planning around your date
Events have fixed dates, so build production time into your plan. Request a quote as early as possible and enter your required delivery date in the form — we will confirm what is achievable for your patch style and quantity.
Collectible series
Recurring events can build a collectible tradition: same shape, new design each year. Attendees come back to complete their collection. We keep your files on record to make each year's update simple.
Selling patches at events
Event patches are an easy, profitable item for merch tables. Their low cost and small size make them popular with attendees who don't want a T-shirt.
Common patch applications
- Race and marathon finisher patches
- Festival and concert commemoratives
- Conference and convention patches
- Reunion patches
- Car shows, rallies and fly-ins
Recommended sizes & shapes
Event patches are typically 2.5 to 3.5 inches. Custom shapes — mountains, guitars, cars, state outlines — make them more collectible.
Durability
Embroidered patches are classic keepsakes. Sublimated and printed patches capture full-color event artwork affordably.
Design considerations
Include the event name, year and location. Keep the design simple enough to produce quickly. For annual events, design a consistent frame that can be updated each year.
