What is the 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" Basketball Laserable Leatherette Hex Patch with Kota Pro Adhesive?
The 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" Basketball Laserable Leatherette Hex Patch with Kota Pro Adhesive is a patch built around Laserable polyurethane leatherette bonded to a contrasting core. It measures 3 1/2" (L) x 2 1/2" (H) x 1/16" thick.
Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
This is one of the highest-contrast decoration surfaces in the industry. The laser removes the top layer and reveals the core color underneath, so the logo appears as a crisp, permanent, two-tone mark with no ink and nothing to wear off. Patches let one apparel blank serve many teams, departments or locations.
Treat this as reach inventory. The point of the tier is that you can put one in every hand at an event without the total ever becoming a conversation with finance. Concretely: $3.24 each at 1-11, $2.01 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 2.1 in x 1.25 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Debossing
A heated die presses the artwork into the material. A subtle, tactile, recessed impression in the surface color.
Leather and leatherette gifts where understatement is the point.
Blind (no color) or foil-filled.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. At this price the risk is under-ordering, not over-ordering.
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. Participation medals for the field, distinct pieces for placegetters, and something with real presence for the overall champion. Production timing is usually the binding constraint, so lock artwork well before the event rather than after the results are known. Down to $2.01 at volume, which is where this stops being a cost.
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. Local operators will source their own if the approved path is slower or costlier than the alternative. The way to hold brand consistency is to make the compliant option the easy one, with stocked items and fixed pricing. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. The item has to survive a truck bed in July and a tailgate in January. Thermal performance and impact resistance are the specification; everything else in this segment is decoration on top of that. Patches let one apparel blank serve many teams, departments or locations. At $3.24 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.

What do buyers ask about PTH966?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on PTH966 is 2.1 in x 1.25 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not soak or machine wash. PTH966 measures 3 1/2" (L) x 2 1/2" (H) x 1/16" thick and is made of leatherette. Leatherette solves the two problems real leather has as a promotional substrate: it is consistent from unit to unit, so a hundred pieces look like a hundred of the same piece, and it does not absorb moisture, stain, or fray at cut edges.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. PTH966 sells from a single unit at $3.24, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 663 of PTH966 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for PTH966?
PTH966 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on PTH966 runs from $3.24 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.01 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on PTH966 is 2.1 in x 1.25 in.

What PTH966 costs at each quantity
The piece, the engraving and the freight, worked out at every break on this item's own ladder. Most suppliers publish the piece price and leave you to find out the rest at checkout.
| Quantity | Piece | Engraving | All-in each | Order total | Ground freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | $2.59 | $2.50 | $5.09 | $244.32 | Priced by weight |
| 96 | $2.40 | $2.25 | $4.65 | $446.40 | Free |
| 250 | $2.20 | $2.00 | $4.20 | $1,050.00 | Free |
| 500 | $2.01 | $1.75 | $3.76 | $1,880.00 | Free |
- Ground freight is free from 96 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 2.1 in by 1.25 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 8% of the 435 other priced items in Apparel & Headwear. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- The table starts at 48 because below that the engraving setup costs more than the goods, and we will not guess at a price there. Ask us and we will quote a smaller run from your artwork.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 48.
