About the stars and stripes shield security patch
This layout enlarges the stars-and-stripes shield until it fills the center ring, so the patriotic emblem is visible from across a parking lot or lobby. The black field and gold lettering give it a classic security look, and the two single-letter side marks let a company place its initials on the ring — a detail that makes a stock-looking emblem feel like your own.
The top and bottom arcs take up to 40 characters each, and each side mark takes one letter. Fill them in the TruePatch Designer, or request a quote and our art team arranges them for you; the stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Stars and stripes security patch questions
What goes in the single-letter side marks?
Most companies use their two initials, one on each side of the ring. Each mark holds one character, and you can replace both with small stars instead.
Can the flag shield be swapped for an eagle or our logo?
Yes. Choose an eagle or badge star in your quote request, or upload your logo, and our art team redraws it stitch-ready at no art charge.
How much does this patch cost?
Quantity sets the price: $3.00 to $20.00 per embroidered patch, with 10 pieces as the minimum. No setup, digitizing or art fees apply.
How fast can I get it?
Choose rush production and the patches take 7–10 days. A free digital mockup reaches you within 4 hours of a quote request, with the stitch-ready proof 6–12 hours after ordering.
How is this different from a round patch with side stars?
The ring is the same, but the side stars become single-letter marks and the shield is enlarged to fill the center, so it suits companies that want initials on the patch.
