how to measure a patch size and how to order - signature patches

When it comes to ordering custom patches, a few questions may come to mind. One of them is, “What is the standard size for patches?” There is no standard size of patch. We custom make each and every one of our products so that they can reflect your interests and needs.

The design that you choose to include on your custom patches will help determine how tall and wide they should be. This also will help you decide what shape they should be. Patches can be circular, triangular, rectangular, square or cut-to-shape.

We measure our patches based on the following calculation: (Height + Width) / 2 Simply add together the largest height and largest width of your desired patch, then divide that number by two. The result is your patch size.

Custom Patch Customer Reviews

Signature patches was easy to work with

Signature patches was easy to work with and were helpful in assisting with the proof process and color selection. They also had the best pricing for PVC patches that I've found to date. I'm very happy with the final product and will definitely be using them in the future!

Fantastic patches and support, couldn't be happier! The PVC quality is great and will hold up well. My squadron is in Japan and they securely shipped everything very expeditiously. As they say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu!
