Design Your PatchFrequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom police patches?
Our minimum order is just 10 patches of the same design. This low minimum allows small departments, specialty units, and K9 teams to order custom patches without large quantity commitments. Bulk discounts begin at 25 pieces and increase significantly at higher quantities.
How long does production take?
Standard production time is 2-3 weeks from order confirmation to delivery. This includes design conversion, embroidery production, quality inspection, and shipping. Rush production is available for time-sensitive orders at additional cost. Contact us for rush availability on your specific order.
Can I add my department’s logo and state seal?
Yes, you can upload your department seal, state emblem, city logo, or custom artwork directly in our patch designer. We accept vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) and high-resolution images (PNG, JPG at 300 DPI). Our team optimizes artwork for embroidery reproduction while maintaining design accuracy.
What backing options do you offer for tactical vests?
For tactical vests and plate carriers, we recommend velcro (hook and loop) backing. Your patches receive the hook side, which attaches to the loop panels on your gear. This allows quick swapping of ID patches and unit insignia. We can include both sew-on patches for dress uniforms and velcro patches for tactical gear in the same order.
Do you verify law enforcement affiliation?
For certain patch types and quantities, we may request verification of law enforcement affiliation. This typically includes a department email address, official purchase order, or other documentation. This helps ensure patches go to legitimate agencies and maintains the integrity of law enforcement identification.
Can each patch have different officer names or numbers?
Yes, we offer variable data patches where each piece can have unique text such as officer names, badge numbers, or unit designations. This is ideal for name tapes and ID patches. Contact us with your requirements and we will provide a custom quote for variable data production.
What if I am not satisfied with my order?
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your patches do not match the approved design specifications, we will remake them at no additional cost. Our quality control process catches issues before shipping, but if anything slips through, contact us and we will make it right.
Do you accept purchase orders from government agencies?
Yes, we accept purchase orders from government agencies, municipalities, and departments. NET 30 payment terms are available for qualified accounts. We can also work with your procurement department to meet specific purchasing requirements. Contact us to set up a government account.
