About the black star security patch

A five-point star is the shape most people associate with badge authority, and this layout makes it the centerpiece by stitching it solid black on a yellow field. The round gold seal on the star adds an eagle and shield in red, white and blue, and the two-tone black-and-yellow construction gives the patch strong contrast on khaki, white or black uniforms.

Two outer arcs and two inner lines give you space for a company name, a role, a tagline and a division. Lay them out in the TruePatch Designer or send your wording with a quote request; your stitch-ready proof follows 6–12 hours after the order, and the patches go into production only after you approve.

Black star security patch questions

Can we put our own seal on the star?

Yes. Send your company seal or logo and our art team redraws it stitch-ready to sit on the star, with no art charge. The eagle seal can also stay as shown.

How much text fits on the inner lines?

The two inner lines hold up to 30 characters each, and the outer arcs up to 40. Short words read best on the inner lines because they curve tighter around the star.

How much does this patch cost?

At a 10-piece minimum, embroidered patches cost $3.00 to $20.00 each depending on quantity. Setup, digitizing and art fees are never added.

How fast can I get it?

Rush production completes in 7–10 days. The free mockup lands within 4 hours of a quote request, and the stitch-ready proof 6–12 hours after you order.

Can the yellow center be another color?

Yes. The center, outer band, star and lettering colors are all editable, so the patch can run navy and gold or black and silver instead.
