Made by Cooper

Made by Cooper is a custom merchandise maker based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. It makes products to customers’ own designs for businesses, clubs, sports teams and organisations. Its range includes soft and hard enamel pin badges, embroidered patches, knitted socks, keyrings, coins, fridge magnets, medals, wristbands, lanyards, caps and drawstring bags.

The website publishes prices and offers a free design proof with every order, subject to terms. Buyers can request free samples of previously made work to assess the product or production process before ordering. These are distinct from samples made to a buyer’s own design, which require an enquiry and a quote.

Products and customisation

Its pin badges include soft enamel versions with a textured finish. For embroidered patches, the company offers thread colour matching and iron-on, sew-on, stick-on and hook-and-loop fixing options. Its patch design service can work from a logo, sketch or basic description, and the digital proof shows size, colours and layout. Production starts after approval, with unlimited design revisions available.

Custom knitted sports socks can incorporate team colours, crests and logos, with extra elastic in the leg and foot. Printed lanyards offer choices of sizes, fixings and safety clips for identification at businesses, educational facilities and events. The range also includes bespoke baseball caps and hard enamel keyrings.

Ordering and delivery

The published minimum order is 50 pairs for sports socks and 100 for printed lanyards. The sports sock page gives approximate production times of 50 days on the standard service or 33 days on express. Printed lanyards have an approximate standard production time of 37 days; that product’s FAQ directs buyers with deadlines to contact the team.

Online quotes use the design details and quantity required. Buyers without finished artwork can contact the team to develop the design before obtaining a quote. The website’s ordering process moves from price approval to an emailed design for approval, then manufacture and dispatch.

Repeat orders and commemorative merchandise

The Encore repeat-order scheme lists discounts for eligible badges and patches when the order matches the previous one. Buyers email their earlier order number for a quote. For anniversaries and milestones, the business also describes custom coins, medals and fridge magnets, alongside pins, patches and keyrings.
