What custom products are available?

In addition to our custom metal badges, pins, coins and letters, Hero’s Pride now offers you the ability to design your own custom patches and transfers directly on the site with our new custom design tool.

Design requests & Orders

How do I start a custom design?

For eligible products, start designing a custom product directly from the product detail page. You can also select our new Start Designing button directly in the top navigation bar.

How should I submit my artwork?

We prefer to work with camera-ready artwork to ensure the best possible results for your design. We accept most digital file formats, including AI, EPS, PDF, CDR, JPG, PNG, and DST.

While we do our best to work with any artwork you provide, please note that the quality of the final product depends heavily on the quality of the original design. For optimal results, we recommend submitting high-resolution or vector files whenever possible.

Our new AI design tool can help evaluate and optimize your uploaded designs and provide recommendations if improvements are needed.

What is WEVision?

WEVision is our AI-powered artwork and design assistance experience. It can evaluate uploaded artwork, identify potential quality issues, suggest improvements, and automatically optimize or vectorize artwork when appropriate.

Will WEVision change my artwork automatically?

WEVision may recommend or apply artwork improvements as part of the optimization process. You'll also have the option to skip optimization and continue through the manual Design Request process.

What if my artwork can't be uploaded?

The new Design Request experience provides clearer messages when an uploaded file cannot be processed, including issues related to file quality, file format, or other processing problems.

If you experience issues with your file and cannot resolve them using our AI optimization, you can also contact Client Services at 1-800-766-0448.

Can I preview my design before submitting it?

Yes. WEVision provides a simulated preview to help you visualize how your design may appear on the selected product.

Please remember that the simulation is a preview and may not exactly represent the final manufactured product.

Can I reuse or reorder an existing design?

You must have an account to reorder an existing design. If you previously checked out as a guest, create an account using the same email address and your previous orders will automatically be linked.

Once your account is set up:

  • Dealers can reorder designs from My Design Catalog. My Design Catalog is available from your Dashboard or from the Account & Orders menu.
  • All other customers can reorder designs from Order History.

 

Do I place my order before seeing my proof?

WEVision is an AI tool that optimizes your design and generates a preview of your emblem before you order. This feature is available for most types of patches and emblems.

For Dealers, a digital proof is sent for approval before the design is added to your Design Catalog. Other customers may request a digital proof during checkout to review and approve before production.

What are your turn around times?

Hero’s Pride on-time delivery performance is a priority, and we work hard to meet the production timelines listed below. The following production times are in business days and do not include shipping. 

Stock Orders placed before 1:00 PM EST ship the same business day. Orders placed after 1:00 PM EST will ship the next business day.

Why do I need to re-enter my saved credit card?

Credit card processing has moved to a new payment system. For security reasons, previously stored card information cannot be transferred, so you'll need to add your card again the first time you use it.

Will I see my complete order total before placing my order?

When you're not paying on terms, the checkout experience shows applicable product costs, taxes, and shipping so you can review your total before completing your purchase.

What is Economy / No-Rush shipping?

For eligible products, Economy / No-Rush provides a discounted shipping option in exchange for a longer turnaround time.

What happened to Saved Carts?

Saved Carts are now called Lists. Lists allow eligible customers to save reusable order templates for future purchases.
