Custom Patch Size Chart by Garment and Placement

Cap Front

2.25″–2.75″ high

Crown panels limit height, so wide, short layouts stitch cleanest.

Cap Side

Approx. 2.5″ W × 1.25″ H

A compact accent area for small marks, initials, or short text.

Cap Back

Approx. 2.75″ W × 1.25″ H

Sits above the closure, so keep the design short and simple.

Beanie / Cap Cuff

Approx. 3.5″ W × 1.5″ H

The folded cuff is shallow, so horizontal artwork works best.

Visor Front

Approx. 2.5″ W × 1.25″ H

A very shallow strip; small lettering and simple icons read best.

Bucket Hat Front

2.25″–2.75″ high

Soft, unstructured panel with a similar usable area to a cap front.

Up to about 4″ (longest side)

The classic branding spot for logos and compact lockups.

Center Chest

Up to about 6″ (longest side)

A bolder statement area that still keeps the garment balanced.

Up to about 12″ (longest side)

Room for large graphics, arcs, and multi-line lettering.

Jacket Front

Up to about 4″ (longest side)

Standard shoulder position for unit, agency, and team patches.

Pocket

Up to about 3.25″ (longest side)

Keep the design inside the pocket seams for a clean finish.
