Description
Tactical patches are purpose-built for operators who need functional identification in field environments where standard patches won’t cut it. Designed with subdued color palettes, durable materials, and quick-attach velcro backing, these patches serve everyone from active-duty military personnel to law enforcement tactical units, security professionals, and serious outdoor enthusiasts.
What sets tactical patches apart is their focus on operational practicality. Subdued earth tones like OD green, coyote tan, and multicam blend with uniforms and gear rather than standing out. Many tactical patch designs are available with IR-reflective elements for nighttime identification, and the velcro hook backing allows operators to swap patches instantly based on mission requirements, unit assignment, or identification needs.
At Owl Badges, we’ve manufactured custom tactical patches in the USA since 1999, supplying military units, law enforcement agencies, and security contractors with patches that perform under demanding conditions. Whether you need embroidered patches with subdued threading, rugged PVC rubber patches that shrug off water and dirt, or precision laser-cut designs, we build tactical patches to the specifications your team requires.
