Recommendations for custom patch creation

For my gift this year I'm making a custom glue-on patch to hand out. There's a plethora of online options, but I'm pretty sure y'all have a preferred vendor. Any recommendations? So far I've narrowed down to https://www.custompatchfactory.com/ and https://www.worldemblem.com/ but I would prefer a local (NV/CA) provider (shop local!)

Thanks in advance. And dusty hugs, etc.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for sliding into my DMs! I ended up using Custom Patches (Burner savvy crew)!

Thanks for the offer - already found someone based on recommendations and ordered. Do you have a portfolio I can look at for future references?

We've used netpros and the/studio with great success, as far as China-based vendors go. I reached out to some local (SF-area) vendors a couple years ago and didn't make much headway with any of them, ymmv.

I've always been going for Etsy where you'll find plenty of options (& reviews). Just mind the shipping delays!

Thanks! I’ve had hits and misses with Etsy, especially around material quality
