Patch Price Factors: Build a Comparable RFQ
Understand which construction and order variables should be visible in a custom patch quote.
Buyer perspective
Two patch prices cannot be compared honestly if they describe different sizes, stitch coverage, mould detail, backing, quantities, or packaging. A buyer does not need to know a supplier's internal cost ledger to request a transparent scope. The goal is to identify which choices change the quoted item and which charges sit outside the unit figure.
What to decide
Build a brief that can be tested
Buyer worksheet
- 01
Specify the physical object
Record finished dimensions, shape, edge, color count, artwork detail, material, thickness or stitch character, and backing. For a raised or moulded patch, include relief and tooling assumptions. Ask each bidder to mark deviations from the reference sample.
- 02
List project-level charges
Request setup or tooling, sampling, inspection, labels, individual packing, master cartons, and shipping as separate lines where applicable. Clarify whether the quoted quantity is per design or pooled and whether taxes or duties are included.
- 03
Compare at equal quality
Place candidates beside the approved sample and evaluate edge finish, detail, attachment, and after-care observations. A cheaper offer that changes the construction is an alternative proposal, not a direct price improvement.
Buying matrix
Reconcile the patch quote line by line
A patch quotation can bundle distinct activities into the unit figure or list them separately. Before comparing bids, normalize what will actually be delivered and at which order quantity.
| Line item | Evidence to record |
|---|---|
| Construction | Check artwork scale, coverage or relief, material, edge, backing, and physical sample identity. |
| Setup | Identify tooling, artwork work, sample fees, and whether any item is reusable on a later order. |
| Fulfilment | Clarify labeling, pack, carton, freight, and taxes, marking unknown amounts rather than assuming inclusion. |
A fair comparison may reveal that one quote is for a different patch; request a corrected scope before treating it as a price difference.
