You
don't have to be artist to design a great patch.
Many patch vendors can create a patch from whatever artwork
you submit. Patch vendors also have many stock designs that
you can choose from and just add your own title and date.
A great way to get a really cute and interesting patch is
to have a 'Patch Design' contest with your troop or several
troops.
Patches can take anywhere from three to six weeks to arrive
after they receive your final artwork. Be sure to order patches
for your event in plenty of time to be able to give them out
at your event.
Patches vary in price based on size, the amount of colors
used and various add-ons, such as iron-on backing and qty
ordered. If the patch is completly embroidered it will cost
more than a patch that uses the background color of the patch
as one of the colors.
A patch ordered in a small quantity (less than 100) can run
as high as $2.50 per patch. A large quantity (400+) can run
as low as $1.00 per patch.
