Product Details
- Default size: Unless another size is specified, we will size the patch so it reaches either 2.25 inches tall or 4 inches wide, whichever limit comes first. Other sizes are available by request.
- Shape: Merrowed patches require a simple outside shape that allows the stitched border to run smoothly and consistently. Good examples include circles, ovals, squares or rectangles with rounded corners, and hexagons with rounded corners. Other simple shapes may also work. Complex contours, sharp points, tight inside corners, and intricate die-cut shapes may not be suitable for a merrowed edge.
- Material: Premium leatherette with USA-made heat-activated adhesives.
- Edge: Stitched merrowed border for a traditional finished patch appearance.
- Merrow thread color: Thread color is currently selected as part of the artwork/order process. Black, white, and silver are the standard options.
- Wholesale pricing: Quantity discounts are shown below.

Artwork Requirements
Upload your finished artwork and add any special production notes.
Preferred files: AI, EPS, SVG, vector PDF with text converted to outlines, or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background. JPG files may work, but quality depends on the original image.
AI-generated artwork: Must be high resolution with a clean, clearly defined outside edge. Do not include shadows, glows, faded edges, or background effects. Use a solid white or transparent background.
Merrowed shape requirement: Artwork must use a simple outer shape suitable for a consistent stitched border. Circles, ovals, rounded rectangles, and rounded hexagons are good examples. If you are unsure whether your shape can be merrowed cleanly, contact us before ordering.
Artwork must be complete, correctly spelled, and ready to print. The listed price does not include logo recreation, design work, extensive cleanup, or vectorization. Free mockups are not provided before purchase. If we find an issue that could prevent clean production, we will contact you.
Screen colors may vary slightly from the finished patch. For artwork help or large wholesale orders, contact sales@proofengraving.com.
