See it on the hat before you order
Build the patch, drop it on a hat and download the proof. Same leathers, same cut engine and same sizes as the ones we make, so what you approve here is what arrives.
Add your email and the proof saves straight away.
We will also send you occasional maker tips and offers. Unsubscribe any time.
Runs on your device. Nothing you upload ever leaves this browser.
Is this proof what I actually get?
Yes. This runs the same cut engine, the same leathers and the same size rules as the order pages, so the shape you see is the shape that gets cut.
The one thing that is not automatically to scale is the hat. Set the real width of your hat photo in step 06 and the patch is drawn true to size on it.
Can I use this proof with my customer?
That is what it is for. Add your shop name and logo in step 08 and the saved proof carries your branding, not ours.
Nothing you upload leaves your browser. There is no account and no watermark.
What happens when I order?
Build it once more on the product page and add it to the cart. Volume breaks, oversize charges and the production file all live there.
Patches ship within 48 business hours with LoneStar Durra-Bull adhesive pre-applied.
01How it gets made
Printing puts your artwork on top in full color, so gradients, photos and a six color logo all cost the same as one. Nothing gets traced.
Engraving burns through to what is under the leatherette, so it is a single color the material decides. Raster art is traced to vector first, and the proof shows that trace rather than your original — what you approve is what the machine makes.
02Add your art
Engraves in one color — Black. A laser makes a single mark; color comes from the material, not your file.
Type becomes artwork, so it cuts and sizes the same as a file you upload.
03Leather
04Cut style
Contour cuts follow your art, so it needs a clear or flat background we can drop out.

Order these — UV PrintedThe software behind these
Making patches for other people? Do it in PatchForge.
This page gives you one mockup at a time, which is all most people need. PatchForge is the tool we built for shops running patch work as a business — design, proof, approve and export the file your machine actually needs.
Production files, not pictures
Export a real cut line with your artwork on it, ready to drop into your job. No redrawing someone's PNG at nine at night.
UV or engrave, done right for each
Print files go out in full color at print resolution. Engrave files go out as vector, cut and burn on separate layers, in the convention your machine expects.
Design and mock up in one place
Build the patch, drop it on any hat in the catalog, and get the listing image out of the same file. One tool instead of three.
Client proofing and approvals
Send a link, let them approve or ask for a change, and keep the whole thread against the design. Nothing lost in a text message.
Every design stays put
Your library, your customers' past orders, your sizes. Reorders take a minute instead of an archaeology dig.
Built by a shop that runs these
We make patches every day on the same machines you do. What was missing from the other tools is what we started with.
