Description
Flex Patch adds a flexible, three-dimensional, heat-applied emblem to caps, bags, and apparel, made in the USA for corporate uniform programs, sports team caps, and branded bag or apparel projects.
Cut to a maximum of 3 inches by 3 inches, with the final shape set by the artwork, Flex Patch comes in a matte or metallic finish and attaches to bags, apparel, and caps, centered on the front of a 5-panel cap or along the side seam of a 6-panel style. Care calls for home laundering only, dried on low temperature. Production takes 14 business days after art approval, and a set of 3 samples ships in 7 business days after art approval. The patch is made in the USA in white.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a flex patch compare to an embroidered patch?
A flex patch is molded from thermoplastic, so artwork reproduces as a smooth raised surface rather than the stitched thread texture of an embroidered patch. Molding holds sharp edges and thin line detail that thread cannot match at small patch sizes. Embroidered patches suit designs that call for a classic stitched look, while a molded emblem suits logos with fine detail or a dimensional retail-style effect.
How much does a custom flex patch cost per unit?
A custom flex patch costs between $5.06 and $22.73 per unit, depending on patch size and order quantity. Pricing runs in seven size bands from under 1 inch up to 4 inches, with quantity breaks at 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1,000, 1,750, and 2,500 pieces; a patch up to 1 inch costs $6.36 each at 50 pieces and drops to $5.06 at 2,500. A $250 mold charge applies to every order, including re-orders. Final cost also depends on your artwork, so submit art to receive an exact quote.
How do I order flex patches with the bags or caps they go on?
You order a flex patch as an add-on to the blank item: add the patch's per-unit price and setup charge to the undecorated price of the bag, cap, or garment. List both the product and the patch on your purchase order so the two process together as one decorated order. Pre-production samples carry a $250 charge if you want to approve the emblem before the full run.
What events or industries use flex patches on apparel and headwear?
Flex patches appear most often on branded caps for company stores, athletic and outdoor brands, breweries, and dealer or fleet uniform programs. The raised emblem also works on tote and duffel bags for trade show giveaways, school spirit merchandise, and employee onboarding kits. Buyers choose a molded patch when they want cap or bag branding that reads as retail merchandise instead of a flat printed logo.
Do flex patch lead times get longer at certain times of year?
Yes, flex patch lead times can run longer than usual during February because some manufacturing partners operate at reduced capacity over the Chinese New Year holiday. Plan February and early-March delivery dates around a longer production window, and confirm current dates with your sales representative before committing to an event deadline.
Can items decorated with a flex patch be dry cleaned or commercially laundered?
No, items decorated with a flex patch are rated for home laundering only, which rules out commercial laundry and dry cleaning services. This matters for uniform programs that route garments through industrial laundering; order a sample set and test your wash process before committing to a full run.
