Can I Order Mixed Patch Types in a Single Bulk Order
Ordering custom patches for a team, event, or brand often involves more than one design requirement. A uniform programme may call for embroidered name tapes alongside PVC unit badges. A corporate gifting set may combine woven patches for fine detail with silk screen patches for photographic artwork. The question many buyers ask at this stage is a practical one: can I order mixed patch types in a single bulk order, or does each patch type require a completely separate transaction?
The short answer is yes, mixed patch types can be ordered together. However, there are several important details about how minimum order quantities, pricing, and production timelines work across patch types that every buyer should understand before placing an order.
Each Patch Type Has Its Own Minimum Order Quantity
When ordering mixed patch types, the most important thing to understand is that minimum order quantities (MOQs) apply per patch type, not per order. Each patch type is manufactured through a distinct production process, which means each type must meet its own MOQ independently.
At Patch&Bagel, the MOQs per patch type are as follows:
- Embroidered patches: 20 pieces per design
- Woven patches: 20 pieces per design
- Silk screen patches: 20 pieces per design
- PVC rubber patches: 30 pieces per design
This means a buyer who wants 20 embroidered patches and 30 PVC patches can absolutely include both in a single enquiry and a single order. Each type simply needs to meet its own minimum. A buyer cannot, for example, order 10 embroidered and 10 PVC patches and have the two types count toward a combined MOQ of 20.
┌──────────────┬───────────┐
│ Patch Type │ MOQ (pcs) │
├──────────────┼───────────┤
│ Embroidered │ 20 │
│ Woven │ 20 │
│ Silk Screen │ 20 │
│ PVC Rubber │ 30 │
└──────────────┴───────────┘

Pricing Is Also Calculated Per Patch Type
Volume pricing tiers are applied independently to each patch type within a mixed order. The per-piece price for embroidered patches is determined by the quantity of embroidered patches ordered, and the per-piece price for PVC patches is determined by the quantity of PVC patches ordered. The two quantities do not combine to unlock a lower tier across both types.
For reference, embroidered, woven, and silk screen patches are priced at SGD $8 per piece at 20 pieces, falling to SGD $5 per piece at 100 pieces and below SGD $3 per piece at 300 or more. PVC patches are priced at SGD $10 per piece at 30 pieces, falling to SGD $7 per piece at 100 pieces. No setup, mould, or template fees apply to any patch type.
Production Timelines Differ Between Patch Types
A practical consideration when combining patch types in a single order is that production timelines are not identical across all types.
Embroidered, woven, and silk screen patches typically take approximately two weeks (10 to 15 working days) from proof approval to dispatch. PVC patches require a longer lead time of approximately four weeks, because a mould must be produced before manufacturing can begin.
For buyers who need all patch types to arrive together, the PVC production timeline will set the overall delivery schedule. For buyers who are flexible on delivery, it is worth discussing with the team whether separate dispatch dates are preferable.

PVC (Moulding): [=============== 4 Weeks ===============] -> [ Ship ]

Each Design Receives Its Own Free Digital Proof
Regardless of how many patch types are included in a single order, each individual design receives its own free digital proof before production begins. Nothing proceeds to manufacturing until the proof is reviewed and approved. Revisions are free and unlimited at the proof stage.
This applies across all patch types within a mixed order. A buyer ordering three embroidered designs and two PVC designs will receive five separate proofs, one for each design, and can request changes to any of them before approving production.
How to Place a Mixed Patch Type Order
The process for placing a mixed order is straightforward. Buyers send their designs, quantities, preferred patch types, and backing preferences via WhatsApp or email. Patch&Bagel will return a quote, typically within one business day, covering each patch type separately with the applicable per-piece pricing. Once payment is confirmed, proofs are prepared and production begins after approval.
For corporate buyers, schools, or government procurement teams requiring formal documentation, purchase orders and invoices are accepted.
Summary
Ordering mixed patch types in a single bulk order is entirely possible. Each patch type must meet its own minimum order quantity, pricing is calculated independently per type, and production timelines vary between types. With those details understood, there is no obstacle to combining embroidered, woven, silk screen, and PVC patches within a single enquiry and order.
If you are planning a mixed patch order, Custom Embroidered Patches, Custom Woven Patches, and Custom PVC Patches are a strong starting point for most team and event requirements. Explore more from Patch&Bagel at Patch&Bagel.
