Advantages of custom police patches
Professional presence
Consistent seals and titles across shirts, jackets, and outer carriers.
Readable at a glance
We keep thin lettering and shield details clear—especially on woven or higher-coverage embroidery.
Built for daily wear
Backings and borders chosen for wash cycles, duty belts, and outerwear abrasion.
Unit flexibility
Run specialty sets for K-9, traffic, SWAT, or academy classes without redesigning the core seal.
Fabrication options
Shape
Shields, circles, rockers, and custom outlines sized for shoulder or chest placement.
Backing
Sew-on for permanent uniforms; iron-on for softshells; Velcro for outer carriers.
Thread / color
Match department blues, golds, and blackout variants from our thread and PVC charts.
Sets
Order left/right pairs or multi-size packs (chest + shoulder) in one quote.
Backing and Border Options
Backing Option
Sew on
The classic choice for durable, permanent attachment to your favorite garments.
Iron on
Secure, long-lasting adhesion for easy application on a variety of fabrics.
Peel and Stick
The perfect temporary solution—affordable and convenient placement.
Velcro Backing
Includes both hook and loop sides, offering maximum flexibility.
Border Option
Merrowed border
Classic overlock edge that wraps the patch perimeter for a clean, finished look.
