What is the Round Patch with Black Stitched Border?
Item SBL230 is a patch in quality materials, chosen for how well it takes a mark and how long that mark lasts. It measures 2 1/2" diameter. This is the black colorway.
Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer..
Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top. Patches let one apparel blank serve many teams, departments or locations.
Giveaway pricing, which changes how you should think about quantity. Running short at a booth costs more in missed conversations than the extra units would have cost to print. Concretely: $3.36 each at 1-11, $2.08 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 1.5 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.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
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.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Uniform programsBuilt for uniform programs. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Team and club identitySpecified regularly for team and club identity. The imprint area at 1.5 in x 1.25 in is sized for exactly that job.
Apparel customisationWorks well for apparel customisation, where the patch format does what a printed handout cannot.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
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.
1
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
2
Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs
Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. At $3.36 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
3
Franchise & Multi-Location Brands
The hard problem in multi-location branding is consistency, not creativity. A single approved item list, locked artwork and a repeatable re-order path stop forty locations producing forty versions of the logo. Stocked programs with fixed pricing are what make that governable. An imprint area of 1.5 in x 1.25 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
4
Construction, Trades & Field Services
On a job site, an item survives or it disappears. Crews compare what they were given. Handing out two grades of the same item across a site causes more friction than giving nothing at all, so buy one specification deep rather than two shallow. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

What do buyers ask about SBL230?
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 1.5 in x 1.25 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SBL230 is 1.5 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.
Can I see a proof before you produce the order?
Yes, and nothing runs until you have signed it off. Read it properly rather than skimming, because the approved proof is the specification we produce against. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on SBL230 runs from $3.36 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.08 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. SBL230 measures 2 1/2" diameter. Built to survive real use rather than a single event, that is what separates a promotional item that keeps working from one that ends up in a drawer.
What is the minimum order for SBL230?
SBL230 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SBL230 runs from $3.36 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.08 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SBL230 is 1.5 in x 1.25 in.

What SBL230 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 | $2.69 | $2.50 | $5.19 | $249.12 | Priced by weight |
| 96 | $2.49 | $2.25 | $4.74 | $455.04 | Free |
| 250 | $2.28 | $2.00 | $4.28 | $1,070.00 | Free |
| 500 | $2.08 | $1.75 | $3.83 | $1,915.00 | Free |
- Ground freight is free from 96 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.5 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 7% 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.
