Frequently Asked Questions

What is 3D embroidery?

Three-dimensional embroidery is embroidery stitched with a layer of high-density foam under the stitches. This gives it a high-raised and rounded appearance, which is unique to fabric patches and gives a bold visual impact.

Standard flat embroidery is stitched flat against the base material. Meanwhile, 3D embroidery or puff embroidery has a foam cover pad between the thread and base layer. This layer of foam creates a 3D appearance.

The standard production time for 3D puff patches is 10 business days. We do have rush options available. Add your email address to our newsletter at the bottom of this page for free shipping promotions (United States shipping only for promotions).

What is the minimum quantity for custom puff embroidery patches?

The minimum order requirement for 3D embroidered patches is 50. We do offer outstanding larger order discounts.

The Monterey Company does not charge a setup fee for any of our embroidered patches. This also includes our chenille embroidery patches as well.

Yes, just like standard embroidered patches, you can heat-apply 3D embroidered patches to hats. For the best results, we suggest using a hat heat press. Iron-on backing is a bestseller! The recommended time and pressure settings do vary depending on your hat press. For additional information, check out our How to Apply Iron-on Patches Guide.

Working with the Monterey Company was a fantastic experience. I had an idea for some charms to use for knitting/crochet stitch markers. They turned out better than I was imagining. Their customer service was top-notch. They responded to my questions so quickly. I highly recommend the Monterey Company, and I will be using them again!

I would give this company and product more stars if I could. What more could I ask for? Monterey was phenomenal to work with - start to finish. From the personal and immediate responses to questions, to the excellent design, to the top quality finished product, I felt like my order mattered as much to them as it did to me. I don’t remember the last time I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. Terrific company. (The box for packaging was purchased separately.)

I worked with Monterey Company to create a charm for a professional business women's group who will be hosting a national convention in 2026. The process was so easy from start to finish & everyone I dealt with was fantastic, especially Sarah M. I would give Monterey Company 100 stars if I could. Many thanks to Sarah and the staff for a great job!! Mona K.
