Asset Protection Patch — Order This Chained X Unit Design
Design S0646A at a glance
A two-tone custom cut built on a bold X wrapped in stitched chain links, set over a single letter marker with federal-style unit lettering above. The chain is the message — assets held, access controlled — and the letter slot is the clever part: the same art reissues with a different letter for each team, so a lettered series identifies squads at a glance while the patch stays one design.

About this chained X protection design
Protection details that cover fixed sites — depots, data centers, evidence storage — need insignia that identifies teams without advertising what's inside. This design leans on symbol over wording: the chained X says secured, the tan-on-black palette stays quiet on duty gear, and the single-letter marker system sorts teams A through L without reprinting the whole patch art.
Units typically order it as a lettered series — one letter per squad or site — with their agency wording in the top arc. The whole piece also flips to OD green or full blackout for low-visibility details. 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.

- Rush production takes 7–10 days and is available on every custom patch.
- A lettered series — same art, different squad letter — prices as one run at the combined quantity tier.

Customize this protection patch: backing, size, and thread options

- Colorways: tan and black as shown, OD green, wolf gray, or full blackout builds
- Border: black merrowed on the main body; the cut outline finishes hot-cut
- Thread: an accent color can pick out the chain links without breaking the low-vis look
- Artwork: the letter marker reissues for each team, and the X emblem redraws to your unit device at no art charge
Who orders this design
Federal asset protection details, critical-infrastructure response teams, and contract site-security units order this design as a lettered squad series for carriers and soft shells. The symbol-first layout also suits details that rotate between facilities and can't name any one site on a uniform. Typical orders run velcro-backed in two colorways.

Asset protection patch questions
How does the lettered series work in one order?
Tell us which letters you need and how many of each — A through L or any set — and the run prices at the combined total, not per letter. Your proof sheet shows every letter version.
Can the X emblem become our agency device?
Yes. Send your unit emblem in any format and we redraw it into the chain surround at no art charge; the proof shows the converted art before production.
Is this patch available in full blackout?
Yes — black-on-black stitches with a texture contrast that reads at conversation distance only, which is exactly what night details want. Preview it in the markup tool.
What's the right build for carrier placards?
Hook-side velcro at 3.5 to 4 inches. For kit that takes abrasion daily, consider the PVC version of the same art — it molds the chain links in relief.
How do I submit wording changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the top arc, type your agency wording in a pinned note, pick your letter set — and it all attaches to the quote automatically.
Protecting something else?
A chained X series is purpose-built for site teams; municipal units usually want name-forward insignia instead, and the police patch catalog beyond the chained X series carries those layouts. For material trade-offs — embroidered chain texture against molded PVC links — the custom patch guide comparing stitched and molded builds settles it.
