alan802:
Working on a bid that has all kinds of things in it and a small part of it is pressing customer provided patches on the cap front.  We have never done this, we don't have a cap press yet, I don't really know where to price this because I don't know how long it takes to do one cap.  Has anyone done this recently that could give me a round about time to press one patch to one cap?  It will make a huge difference in how I price this part of the bid if it takes 5 seconds or 1 minute.  Screen printed transfers take 5 seconds, sublimated shirts take 50 seconds, what about cap patches?

Thanks y'alls, much appreciated!!!

Frog:
You need to get the exact heat and time from the manufacturer, but I'm guessing about 350 for around 30 seconds

alan802:
That's the problem, they are providing the patches.  I'll try to find out the details on the product.

I was hoping that a typical time would be closer to a screen printed transfer.  5 seconds will mean a much, much cheaper price than 30 seconds.

I can usually do a case of 144 in about 2 hours.....

Frog:
I'm looking at numbers for embroidered patches like the initials from Stahls, or the Little League shoulder patches.
At any rate, whenever someone is supplying this type of thing to you, it is their responsibility to come up with the application instructions. Whoever actually ordered them must have this, or can get it.
