Paramedic Unit Diamond Patch — Order This Open-Frame Design
Design S1305A at a glance
A diamond patch with a red border framing an open white center — the middle is left blank by design. Lettering on the frame carries a first-responder service name and a paramedic callout split into two words, with a standalone unit numeral plus a unit line. White, red and black keep it stark and readable from across a scene.

About this open-frame paramedic diamond design
Open-frame patches put almost everything on the border, which leaves the white center free for a unit numeral or whatever your crew wants to place there. That makes this diamond one of the most adaptable layouts in the EMS range: the frame carries the identity, the center carries the assignment. Red, black and white is the classic ambulance palette, so the patch looks at home on any EMS uniform.
Customize it to your service: your agency name on the frame, EMT or Ambulance in place of the paramedic callout, a different unit number, or a Star of Life added to the blank center. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Paramedic unit diamond patch questions
Can the blank center carry a Star of Life?
Yes. We can place a Star of Life, your seal or a large unit number in the open center at no art charge, and your proof shows the placement.
Can we order several unit numbers from one design?
Yes. List every numeral and quantity in the quote form and we lay out each version on your proof before production.
Can the paramedic line say EMT or Ambulance instead?
Yes. Every line on the frame restitches to your wording — service name, role and unit — and the 4-hour mockup shows the exact text.
What backing works for EMS vests and helmets?
Hook-side velcro mates with the loop panels on most EMS vests and helmet covers. Sew-on stays the standard for uniform shirts.
How do I mark up the open frame?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to pin a note in the blank center, circle any frame lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote.
