Send milestones
A patch for a first V5, a first lead climb or 100 visits. Members collect them, and they keep coming back to earn the next one.
Merch for climbing & bouldering gyms
Gym merch that fits every member.
T-shirts tie up cash in sizes that never sell. A woven patch fits every chalk bag, crash pad, jacket and beanie in the building, so you can test a design in a small run and reorder only what moves.

Where climbers put a patch
Climbers already decorate their gear. Give them your gym's mark to add to it.
Patches vs. T-shirts for a gym shop
Both carry your logo. Only one of them makes you guess how many mediums you'll sell.
| Question | Woven patches | Printed T-shirts |
|---|---|---|
| Sizes | One size fits every member | S to XXL, and the wrong ones sit on the shelf |
| Shelf space | A full run fits in a drawer behind the desk | Racks, bins and folded stacks |
| Testing a design | Order 50, see what sells, reorder in one click | A new design means a new size curve to guess |
| Where it ends up | On chalk bags, pads and jackets, seen at every crag | In a drawer once it's worn out |
| Member rewards | Cheap enough to give away for milestones | Too expensive to hand out every month |
| Detail | Micro-HD weave keeps route grades and small type legible | Fine at chest size, crude when scaled down |
Patch programs that work in a gym
A patch earns its place when it means something. These are the formats gyms come back to.
Comp and league swag
One design per comp or season, dated. A run of 50 to 250 covers the field, and nobody asks for a size exchange.
Route-setter series
A small run of setter-designed patches released with a reset. It's limited and collectible, and it gives the setting team some recognition.
Membership welcome
Hand new members a patch with their key fob. It's a cheaper welcome gift than a shirt, and it's on their chalk bag by the end of the week.
Youth team badges
Team patches for youth climbing programs, sewn onto team jackets, with a new design each season as the team grows.
Multi-location identity
A shared gym mark with a location name below it. You reorder each location's run separately as it sells through.
From logo to front desk
No quote requests and no minimum-order haggling. The whole order happens online.
Drop in the gym mark
Upload the logo you already use on the front desk sign; pick a chalk-bag or jacket size and the price appears instantly.
A setter-eye check
Within a day a person looks at your file the way a setter looks at a wall: what is too thin, too small or too busy to hold up in thread.
Woven for chalk and abrasion
A dense micro-HD damask weave that shrugs off chalk dust and crash-pad scuffs, ready in 6–10 business days.
Sell, then reorder
Your approved design is saved, so restocking a sell-out takes one click.
Practical notes for gym patches
Size and backing
- A 2–2.6″ patch suits chalk bags and caps; go to 3″ for jacket backs and crash pads
- Iron-on works on cotton hoodies and canvas; chalk bags and nylon pads should be sewn
- Hook-and-loop backing lets youth teams swap season patches on one jacket
Design that survives weaving
- Keep route grades and dates at a readable height; see the minimum line thickness guide
- Simple outlines suit a merrow edge; holds, mountains and odd shapes suit hot-cut
- Two to four thread colors read best from across the bouldering floor
Worked example: a bouldering milestone set
Three designs (first V3, first V5, 100 visits) at 50 each is three runs of $78. The V3 patch is earned most, so it is the one you reorder; the 100-visit patch may last a year. Add one dated comp patch at 250 ($152) and the season's merch is covered without a single size.
Climbing gym patches, answered
For a chalk-bag-sized 2″ patch in two colors, a first run of 50 is $78 ($1.56 each). A comp or league run of 250 drops to $0.608 each. There is no setup fee, so a new design costs only the patches, and the configurator prices your exact size and backing before you pay.
Standard runs start at 50 per design, and a Proof Pack lets you order just 5 first to see the real thing. There is no setup fee, so a small test run of a new design costs only the patches themselves.
Yes. Sew them on: chalk bags and pads are usually nylon or coated fabric, and an iron-on adhesive won't hold on those. Cotton hoodies, canvas totes and structured caps take an iron-on patch well.
Yes. They're your design and your product. Many gyms sell them at the front desk next to chalk and tape, and reorder each design as it sells out.
Work back from the comp date: allow a day for the artwork check, 6–10 business days to weave, then tracked delivery. Ordering three weeks out leaves room to adjust the design.
Woven is our standard product, priced live online, because it keeps fine detail sharp. Embroidered patches can be made on request — contact us with your artwork and quantity.
Turn your logo into gear your members wear. Start with one milestone patch this month and see how many members chase the next one.
