New resource helps buyers compare patch suppliers by materials, backing options, sampling, lead times, and support

“This guide is meant to help buyers ask better questions up front so they can get patches that match how the item will be worn, washed, and used.” – Eric Turney

BEND, OR, UNITED STATES — The Monterey Company released an updated buyer guide for organizations and individuals seeking to source military-style patches, including unit-style designs, morale patches, and patches for uniforms, hats, and gear.

The guide, titled “Best Military Patch Manufacturers,” is designed as a practical reference for comparing patch suppliers and avoiding common ordering issues such as unclear backing requirements, artwork that does not translate cleanly to thread, and unexpected production constraints.

The article includes:

▸ A short set of criteria used to evaluate manufacturers (materials, backing, sampling, lead time, minimums, and customer support)

▸ A YouTube video on vetting your suppliers.

▸ A comparison framework that buyers can apply across vendors, even when some details are not publicly listed

“Most patch problems start before production, during the quote and proof stage,” said Eric Turney, Owner of The Monterey Company. “This guide is meant to help buyers ask better questions up front so they can get patches that match how the item will be worn, washed, and used.”
