Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best patch sizes for a hat?
Whether you're looking for an embroidered design or a custom hat patch, we'll make sure your design stands out. Our standard patch sizing falls between 2" and 2.25" tall, depending on the hat, and with the width adjusted according to its proportions. The max width we generally see is 4”. If you opt for direct embroidery, your logo can be up to 4.5" wide by 2.5” tall - the perfect size to fit almost any cap or hat perfectly. For more information on finding the best hat patch size, please read our blog on Choosing the Right Patch Size for Hats.
How are patches applied to hats?
Hat patches are typically sewn directly onto a hat using industrial sewing machines. A heavy-duty needle is used with the thread color of your choosing. If you choose this option, applying velcro to the back of a patch is done with the same sewing machines. With some hats having an unusual outline, the patch can be heat pressed and also stitched if the shape is not too difficult to follow the border. Check out this article on Sewing Custom Patches to Hats for more information.
What type of patch looks the best on a hat?
The answer to this question depends heavily on your company logo or design. The best results for simple artwork are embroidered, woven, leather, or PVC patches. Printing techniques like dye sublimation patches is the perfect solution for more complicated images.
Can I get a sample before starting production of my order?
Yes, ask your sales rep for a free sample photo option. We always provide a digital proof with required proof approval before any custom product is moved into production. Also, ask your customer service rep about free patch samples. We offer free shipping on sample packs to any address within the United States.

For example, if you need to order 36 Richardson 112 Hats, then that will cost about $20 each. In contrast, 150 hats would only cost $15.00 per hat. The pricing will include a custom patch sewn directly to the hats. If you are just producing the custom patches, we can do that as well. Customized patches are inexpensive and can run as little as $0.29 per piece. Depending on the customization options. We offer outstanding price breaks for large orders.

Reviews
Working with the Monterey Company was a fantastic experience. I had an idea for some charms to use for knitting/crochet stitch markers. They turned out better than I was imagining. Their customer service was top-notch. They responded to my questions so quickly. I highly recommend the Monterey Company, and I will be using them again!
Very easy to work with the team, quick and clear conversations, and great quality patches delivered on time for a reasonable price. Couldn't ask for more!
Wonderful company to work with! So communicative and clear and fantastic quality of items. Best decision to order them for our fundraising gala
Thanks to the team at Monterey -- great communication, very helpful with taking our concept and making a great coin. Lots of 1-1 attention along the way and the process was completed on time as described!
I would give this company and product more stars if I could. What more could I ask for? Monterey was phenomenal to work with - start to finish. From the personal and immediate responses to questions, to the excellent design, to the top quality finished product, I felt like my order mattered as much to them as it did to me. I don’t remember the last time I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. Terrific company. (The box for packaging was purchased separately.)
Patches turned out great. My order was completed and arrived on the time frame they gave me. Great customer service and communication. Look forward to placing my next order.
Incredibly happy with the quality and attention to detail in the pins. Monterey overdelivers on their products!
Was a pleasure working with Monterey every step of the way and the hats turned out perfect!
I worked with Monterey Company to create a charm for a professional business women's group who will be hosting a national convention in 2026. The process was so easy from start to finish & everyone I dealt with was fantastic, especially Sarah M. I would give Monterey Company 100 stars if I could. Many thanks to Sarah and the staff for a great job!! Mona K.
