Leather Patch Size Guide
We manufacture leather patches from 1 inch up to 12 inches. Size is measured as the average of width and height, so a patch 2 inches tall and 4 inches wide is quoted as a 3-inch patch.
| Size | Common uses |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 inches | Brand tags, pocket tabs, hang tags, sleeve marks |
| 2 to 2.5 inches | Beanies, sleeves, small logo patches |
| 2.5 to 3.5 inches | The most ordered range. Trucker and five-panel cap fronts |
| 3.5 to 4.5 inches | Jacket chests, tote bags, backpack panels |
| 4.5 to 7 inches | Large bag panels, jacket fronts, club chest patches |
| 8 to 12 inches | Vest and back panels |
One inch is a genuine minimum, but laser engraving is the method that works at that size. Debossing and embossing need more surface for the die to press against, so below about 1.5 inches, they lose definition.
