Leatherette or genuine leather?

Leatherette is what most hat lines run. Genuine leather is what you reach for when the customer will hold the product before they buy it.

Patch questions

Can you cut a patch to the shape of my logo?

Yes, on both materials, at no extra charge. Send vector art with a closed outer path and pick Cut to logo in the configurator. Very thin necks or spikes narrower than about 0.1" will get softened so they don't tear.

What size should a hat patch be?

For a structured 6-panel, 3" × 2" is the workhorse. Low-profile and dad hats take 2.75" × 1.75" better. Rope hats and trucker fronts can go to 3.5" wide. Beanies use a folded tag, usually 2" × 1".

Do you offer color printing on patches?

Not on leather or leatherette — the mark is a laser engrave, which is single-tone by nature. For full color on a patch-shaped piece, order a die-cut sticker or a DTF transfer instead.

How long does production take?

Five business days standard from proof approval, three on rush, two on super rush. Rush is available on both materials at any quantity.

Are there setup or artwork charges?

It depends on the product and the state of your file. Clean vector art that is ready to run generally is not charged for. Artwork that needs cleanup, vectorizing, redrawing or layout work is quoted based on how much work it takes. Anything applicable is shown before you pay — you will not find a surprise line item after the fact.
