How to Order Custom Dance Patches (No Minimum Required)
Ordering custom dance patches is simple: submit your design, approve a free digital mockup, and we produce and ship your patches — with no minimum order on patches or lanyards (just 10 pieces to start). Custom pins have a 25-piece minimum, since pin manufacturing works differently from stitched or printed patches.
The Ordering Process
From idea to delivery — here's exactly what happens when you place a custom dance patch order with us.
Send us your design (or tell us your idea)
Upload existing artwork, or describe what you're picturing — your studio logo, a team mascot, competition lettering. No design file? No problem. Our team can work from a rough sketch or even a verbal description.
Review your free digital mockup
Every order — patches, pins, or lanyards — includes a free digital proof before anything goes into production. Stacy personally reviews each design for size, color accuracy, and stitch or print feasibility, and will flag anything that might not reproduce cleanly at your chosen size.
Approve and confirm quantity
Once your mockup looks right, confirm your piece count. There are no setup fees and no digitizing fees added on top — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Production begins
Patches and lanyards typically move to production immediately after approval. Pins take longer due to the metal manufacturing process — see the turnaround table below.
Free express shipping
Orders ship via express courier to the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia at no extra cost on qualifying orders. Other international destinations are available on request.
Ready to start? It takes 2 minutes.
Submit your design, choose your quantity (as few as 10 patches), and Stacy will send you a free digital mockup.

Why Order Custom Dance Team Patches Online?
Most local embroidery or promo shops apply a blanket minimum across everything they sell — often 50 or 100 pieces regardless of product type. Ordering online through a specialist gives you:
No setup or digitizing fees
Local shops frequently charge upfront before you see a single sample. We don't.
Free digital mockup reviewed before production
Stacy personally checks every design — no surprises on arrival.
Per-product minimums that make sense
You're not forced to over-order patches just to hit a shop's blanket 50-piece rule.
Shipping to USA, UK, Canada & Australia
Free express courier delivery on qualifying orders — worldwide reach.
Ordering Multiple Product Types Together
Many studios combine orders — patches for jackets, pins for competition trading, and lanyards for staff or event credentials — into a single purchase. Submit everything together, and you'll get one consolidated mockup and one shipment, rather than managing separate orders and separate shipping charges.
