Custom patch FAQs

What custom patch types can I request?

You can request embroidered, PVC, leather, chenille, woven, sublimated, iron-on, hook-and-loop and sew-on patch projects from Dynamic Digitizers.

Which patch type is best for uniforms?

Embroidered patches are the most common choice for uniforms because of their durability and professional look. Woven patches work well when fine detail or small text is needed. PVC patches are popular for tactical and outdoor gear.

What is the minimum order for custom patches?

The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 25 pieces for most patch types. Some specialty styles may have a higher minimum. Contact Dynamic Digitizers to confirm your specific project.

Do you offer iron-on patches?

Yes. Iron-on backing is one of several attachment options. Other choices include sew-on, hook-and-loop (Velcro), and adhesive backing depending on the patch type and use case.

Embroidery digitizing FAQs

What is embroidery digitizing?

Embroidery digitizing converts artwork into stitch instructions (DST, PES, EMB, JEF, VP3 files) that embroidery machines can read for caps, shirts, jackets, patches and uniforms.

Can rush digitizing be requested?

Rush turnaround may be available depending on artwork complexity and workload. Timing is confirmed after the file is reviewed.

What embroidery file formats do you produce?

Dynamic Digitizers produces DST, PES, EMB, JEF, VP3, XXX, and other common embroidery file formats. The format is chosen based on the machine type and production requirements specified.

Can you digitize for caps and hats?

Yes. Cap and hat embroidery digitizing requires different stitch planning than flat garments because of the curved frame and limited stitch area. Dynamic Digitizers handles cap-specific digitizing as a separate service type.

Vector art FAQs

What is vector art used for?

Vector art is used for patch artwork, embroidery prep, screen printing, DTF, sublimation, signs and any production file that needs clean scalable edges without pixelation.

Can a blurry logo be redrawn?

Yes. Low-resolution logos can often be manually redrawn into clean vector artwork. The redraw time depends on the complexity of the original logo.

What vector file formats do you deliver?

Completed vector files are delivered as AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG depending on the intended production use. The output format is confirmed during project review.

Pricing FAQs

What affects custom patch pricing?

Pricing depends on patch size, type, quantity, backing, border, color count, artwork complexity, and delivery timeline. Each project is quoted after artwork review so the price reflects the actual order.

Do you publish fixed patch prices?

Dynamic Digitizers does not publish fixed price tables because cost changes with size, type, quantity, backing, colors, and artwork complexity. An exact quote is provided after artwork review.

Do larger orders cost less per patch?

Yes. Bulk orders can reduce the cost per patch because setup and production time are spread across more pieces. The exact discount depends on patch type, size, and production details.

Shipping & turnaround FAQs

How long does it take to get custom patches?

Standard turnaround is 8 business days from digital proof approval. Rush service (5-7 business days) is available for an additional fee. Shipping time depends on destination and carrier.

Is USA delivery available?

Yes. Dynamic Digitizers ships to all 50 US states from our Downingtown, PA facility. Worldwide shipping is also available.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Dynamic Digitizers ships to customers in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and many other countries worldwide. International shipping details are confirmed during quote review.

Artwork & file FAQs

What files can I upload for a quote?

AI, EPS, PDF, PSD, PNG, JPG, JPEG, SVG, and WEBP files are accepted. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are preferred when available because they give the clearest artwork for production review.

What project details should I include?

Send your artwork, patch size, quantity, patch type (embroidered, PVC, leather, etc.), backing preference (iron-on, hook-and-loop, sew-on), border choice, colors, need-by date, and any special instructions.

What if I do not have artwork?
