Custom Fire Department Patches
Order for Your Station

Embroidered fire department patches carrying your station number, company designation, and department scramble. Maltese cross profiles, shoulder flashes, and shield shapes for engine, truck, rescue, and squad companies, stitched in Pantone-matched thread with iron-on, sew-on, velcro, or adhesive backing. Tiered pricing from $1.40 per patch at volume on a 10-piece minimum, digitizing free, production 4-6 weeks. Career and volunteer departments order the same way: a new station opening, an academy class about to graduate, an apparatus reassignment that changes a company number, or a department-wide uniform refresh all come through as a single order with one artwork approval.

Maltese Cross Done Properly

The eight-point cross cut and stitched to hold its shape, not a rounded approximation of it.

Station and Company Numbers

Station numerals and Engine, Truck, Rescue, and Squad designations sized to stay legible on the sleeve.

Your Department Scramble

Crossed ladders, horn, and helmet reproduced from your existing emblem rather than a stock clip-art version.

Career or Volunteer, Same Terms

No separate pricing tier for volunteer companies. The 10-piece minimum and the same volume breaks apply either way.

Pantone-Matched Thread

Colors locked to your current patches so a replacement never reads as a different shade on the apparatus floor.

Some agencies need a fire department patch the TruePatch Designer doesn't cover — a custom shape outside the standard catalog, a complex multi-layer department seal, hybrid metal-and-enamel finishes, inlaid stones, photographic memorial elements, or a one-of-a-kind department die. For these, the Owl Badges in-house design team builds your fire department patch from scratch. There is no design fee, no mold setup fee, and no commitment to order.

  • Fully custom shapes outside the standard catalog
  • Complex multi-layer seals with raised 3D elements
  • Hybrid finishes — antique, two-tone, enamel
  • Inlaid stones & memorial badges with photographic elements
  • One-of-a-kind department dies for unique shapes

Custom Fire Department Patches, Order for Your Station

Owl Badges builds fire department patches from $1.40 per patch at volume on a 10-piece minimum, with free digitizing and a 4–6 week build. Career and volunteer departments order on identical terms, and a department wears several marks at once, so where you start depends on the company you are outfitting. Compare options for the whole custom patch range when you are weighing constructions, EMS and paramedic patch programs for cross-trained and EMS division personnel, and law enforcement patch programs for your city when the same purchasing office covers both. Every profile below opens in the designer, and quotes carry free artwork for the chief to approve.

Shop Fire Patches by Profile

Six profile families cover a full department.

Maltese Cross Patches

The traditional eight-point cross, cut and merrowed to hold its points.

Shoulder Flashes

The department flash with station number and city or district name.

Company Designations

Engine, Truck, Ladder, Rescue, and Squad numerals for the assigned apparatus.

Division Emblems

Separate marks for hazmat, ARFF, wildland, fire marshal, and arson investigation.

EMS and Cross-Trained

Star of life and paramedic identifiers for firefighters carrying both certifications.

Honor Guard and Memorial

Presentation-grade and remembrance pieces, including mourning bands and LODD memorials.

Build the Patch Your Company Wears

Every profile opens in the TruePatch Designer, the in-browser patch builder. Change the cross or shield shape, reset thread colors, drop in the station number, and adjust the company line with the finished patch redrawing in front of you before anything is committed to thread.

Fire Patches for Every Division

A department is not one patch. Engine and truck companies, rescue squads, hazmat, ARFF, wildland crews, and the EMS division each carry their own mark, and academy classes and explorers carry another again. Pricing runs from $1.40 per patch at volume, production 4-6 weeks, rush by phone.

Start from any profile below, or open one in the designer and set it to your station. Departments and fire districts order against a purchase order and we issue the written quote your finance office needs before anything reaches production. The volume tier is calculated on the whole order rather than per design, so an engine company flash, a rescue squad emblem, and a hazmat patch bought together price against the combined count, which is what makes a department-wide refresh far cheaper per piece than three separate company runs. Volunteer departments get the same terms as career departments with no separate minimum. The approved stitch file is archived under your department once the first order ships, so replacements, probationary firefighters, and the next academy class come off the identical file at identical thread colors with no re-digitizing charge. Memorial and honor guard pieces are handled by the same team; if you are ordering to mark a line-of-duty death, call and we will move it to the front of the schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you reproduce our station number and company designation exactly?
Yes. Station numerals, Engine, Truck, Ladder, Rescue, and Squad designations, and district or city names are all set as part of the design. Send a photo of the patch you wear now and we match the numeral style, spacing, and thread colors so a new run sits alongside the old one without reading as different.
Do you make proper maltese cross patches, not just shields?
Yes. The eight-point maltese cross is cut and merrowed so the points hold their shape through wear and laundering, which is where a lot of cheaper crosses go soft and round off. Shield, circle, and shoulder flash profiles are all available too, and you can compare them side by side before ordering.
How does the Owl Badges TruePatch Designer work?
Open any patch profile and edit the shape, thread colors, department name, and station number directly in your browser with the finished patch redrawing as you type. No software to install, no account needed to start, and no design fee. Share the preview with your chief before committing to an order.
We are a small volunteer department. Is there a minimum we cannot meet?
The minimum is ten pieces for the order as a whole, not per design, and volunteer departments get exactly the same terms and pricing tiers as career departments. A small company ordering a single run of shoulder flashes clears the minimum comfortably.
Can we combine engine, truck, and rescue company patches in one order?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy. Volume pricing is calculated on the total quantity across the order rather than per design, so 40 engine flashes, 30 truck patches, and 20 rescue squad emblems are quoted at the 90-piece tier instead of as three separate small runs. Every design is digitized free and the whole order ships together on one 4-6 week production run.
Do you make memorial and honor guard patches?
Yes. Honor guard details order presentation-grade patches with heavier metallic thread and merrowed borders for ceremonial uniforms. Memorial pieces, including mourning bands and line-of-duty-death remembrance patches carrying a name and date, are produced to the same standard as duty patches. If you are ordering for a service with a fixed date, call 626-412-1200 and we will move it to the front of the schedule.
How much do custom fire department patches cost?
Tiered pricing from $1.40 per patch at volume, rising with size and embroidery coverage. Department quotes include free artwork, and there is no setup or digitizing charge at any quantity.
Do you charge setup or digitizing fees?
No. Digitizing is free on every design, and your approved stitch file is archived under your department so reorders and probationary-firefighter batches reproduce from the identical file at identical thread colors with no repeat charge.
What backing options are available?
Iron-on, sew-on, velcro hook-and-loop, and adhesive. Choose per order to match how your uniforms are issued. Sew-on holds up best for contract-laundered station wear; velcro suits turnout gear and assignments where the patch moves between garments.
What sizes do fire department patches come in?
Shoulder flashes typically run 3 to 5 inches; maltese cross and chest pieces and company numerals are sized to their placement. Every product page lists the sizes available for that profile.
How long does production take?
Four to six weeks after you approve the artwork. Rush is available on any order, including academy graduation runs and memorial pieces tied to a service date. Call 626-412-1200 for a current timeline.
Will the patches survive station laundering?
Yes. These are stitched for uniform service and hold color and edge through industrial laundering. For departments on a contract laundry program, sew-on backing is the most durable of the four options.
What artwork formats do you accept?
Vector files such as AI, EPS, and PDF reproduce best, but PNG and JPG are fine. Our artists redraw raster artwork at no charge before stitching, which is usually what happens with a photographed department scramble.
Do you accept purchase orders from fire districts?
Yes. Fire departments, districts, and city purchasing offices order by PO routinely. Request a quote, note your PO and vendor onboarding requirements, and we will return a written quote formatted for your finance office.
Can we reorder later and still match?
Yes. The approved stitch file stays on record under your department, so replacements, lateral hires, and next year's academy class come off the same file at the same Pantone-matched thread. Reorders quote directly from that file and still price at the volume tiers from $1.40 per patch.
