How to Order Custom Patches: Design, Options, Pricing, and Production Time

A custom patch represents your organization, its identity, and the people who wear it. Whether you’re reproducing an existing department patch or creating a new design, Uniform Tactical Supply can help guide you through the process.

Through our relationship with our patch manufacturer, we assist with custom embroidered, woven, and PVC patch orders, from initial design questions to pricing and production.

Reproducing an Existing Patch

If you need to reorder an existing patch, we prefer to work from a physical sample. A sample provides a reference for the colors, dimensions, stitching, and other details that help define its appearance.

Artwork can sometimes provide enough information to quote and produce a patch. If you don’t have a physical sample available, send us your artwork and the required dimensions, and we’ll help determine what else may be needed.

Embroidered, Woven, or PVC Patches?

We offer several types of custom patches to suit different designs and preferences:

  • Embroidered patches offer a traditional stitched appearance with texture and dimension.

  • Woven patches allow for finer detail, making them an option for intricate designs and smaller lettering.

  • PVC patches provide another option for organizations seeking a different look and feel from a fabric patch.

If you’re unsure which type would work best, we can help you explore the options based on your design and intended use.

Need Help Designing Your Patch?

You don’t need to arrive with a finished design. We can help you develop a new patch or update an existing one.

We’ve assisted law enforcement agencies with revising their existing patch designs. Whether you want to refresh the artwork, adjust specific elements, or start with a new concept, we can work with you and our manufacturer to move the project forward.

How Are Custom Patches Priced?

Custom patch pricing depends on the specifications of your order. Factors include:

  • Patch size

  • Number of colors

  • Amount of detail

  • Stitch count for embroidered patches

  • Patch type

  • Order quantity

Because each project is different, we provide quotes based on your particular design and requirements. We offer competitive volume pricing and can quote different quantities to help you plan your order.

No Order Is Too Small or Too Large

We welcome inquiries for projects of all sizes. We’ve completed custom patch orders as small as 100 units and as large as 15,000 units.

Whether you’re ordering for a small team or coordinating a large agency purchase, we’re happy to discuss your needs and help you find a practical solution.

How Long Does Custom Patch Production Take?

Production can take as little as two to three weeks or as long as four to six weeks, depending on order volume and the complexity of the patch.

If you have a specific deadline, let us know when requesting your quote so we can discuss the anticipated schedule. Allow additional time for design work, approvals, and shipping.
