What is the Shield Patch with Black Stitched Edge?
This is a patch in quality materials. Straightforward to decorate, and durable enough that the decoration outlasts the occasion. It measures 3" x 3 1/2". This is the black colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: 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..
Patches let one apparel blank serve many teams, departments or locations. Decoration method is matched to the substrate so the mark is permanent rather than printed on top.
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: $3.42 each at 1-11, $2.12 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 1.8 in x 1.75 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
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- 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
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 1.8 in x 1.75 in is sized for exactly that job.
Apparel customisationApparel customisation is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
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
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. 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.. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.
2
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. Volume is the point at $3.42; nobody is auditing this line item.
3
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.
4
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. An imprint area of 1.8 in x 1.75 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Cheap enough to over-order slightly, which is the right call for a table.

What do buyers ask about SBL239?
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on SBL239 is 1.8 in x 1.75 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 is this decorated?
We run laser engraving on SBL239 as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SBL239 is 1.8 in x 1.75 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
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 SBL239 runs from $3.42 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on SBL239 is 1.8 in x 1.75 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
How should this be cared for?
Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. SBL239 measures 3" x 3 1/2". 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.
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 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 is the minimum order for SBL239?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on SBL239. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on SBL239 runs from $3.42 a piece at 1-11 down to $2.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

| Quantity | Piece | Engraving | All-in each | Order total | Ground freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | $2.74 | $2.50 | $5.24 | $251.52 | Free |
| 96 | $2.53 | $2.25 | $4.78 | $458.88 | Free |

- Ground freight is free from 48 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 1.8 in by 1.75 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 6% 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.
