Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D embroidery?

Three-dimensional embroidery is embroidery stitched with a layer of high-density foam under the stitches. This gives it a high-raised and rounded appearance, which is unique to fabric patches and gives a bold visual impact.

Standard flat embroidery is stitched flat against the base material. Meanwhile, 3D embroidery or puff embroidery has a foam cover pad between the thread and base layer. This layer of foam creates a 3D appearance.

The standard production time for 3D puff patches is 10 business days. We do have rush options available. Add your email address to our newsletter at the bottom of this page for free shipping promotions (United States shipping only for promotions).

What is the minimum quantity for custom puff embroidery patches?

The minimum order requirement for 3D embroidered patches is 50. We do offer outstanding larger order discounts.

The Monterey Company does not charge a setup fee for any of our embroidered patches. This also includes our chenille embroidery patches as well.

Yes, just like standard embroidered patches, you can heat-apply 3D embroidered patches to hats. For the best results, we suggest using a hat heat press. Iron-on backing is a bestseller! The recommended time and pressure settings do vary depending on your hat press. For additional information, check out our How to Apply Iron-on Patches Guide.

Everything about our T-shirt order from the Monterey Company was OUTSTANDING. If your order happens to be small (as ours was), don't worry; they will treat you like you're one of their top customers. The order process was smooth and user-friendly from beginning to end; the communication was frequent and clear; and the quality of the final product was excellent (and captured more detail than we had imagined). Additionally, the T-shirt material was soft and durable - very top notch! And most of all, their suggestions for improving on our original artwork were perfect and added nice touches to our original ideas. Not to mention their pricing options - VERY reasonable! James and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. We will gladly use them again in the future!

We had what is probably considered a smaller order since we are not a company, but we had t-shirts made for an event. The entire process from beginning to end was thorough, professional, and there was great attention to detail so we would get EXACTLY what we wanted at a really excellent price. The quality of the tshirts was excellent. I would not hesitate to use Monterey Company again. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful. Thank you!

I just wanted to take a moment to share a few things about a company that I have been working with for roughly 6 years. My main contact is Josh Knowles and he is AMAZING. Monterey is professional, has quality products and is very easy to work with. Their customer service is 2nd to none and I am sure we will continue to have them produce our patches for many years to come!
