Can you make custom patches for police and law enforcement?

Updated June 2026
Quick Answer

Yes - we regularly produce shoulder patches, badge patches, SWAT and specialty unit insignia, and morale patches for law enforcement.

Law enforcement patches are one of our most common professional categories. We produce everything from departmental shoulder patches and badge replicas to tactical unit insignia, SWAT team patches, K-9 unit patches, and morale patches for individual officers or squad-level custom orders.

Police and law enforcement patches typically demand high precision. Shield shapes, subdued color variants for tactical use, and accurate reproduction of department seals or existing insignia are common requirements. Our expert review process pays particular attention to accuracy and production quality for these orders - a shoulder patch represents the department every time it's worn.

For official department orders, we recommend sharing any existing official artwork, vector logos, or current patch samples as reference. Parker can generate a design concept from a description, and our expert team can then refine it against the reference material. For departments creating a new design, Parker can generate multiple concepts quickly so command staff can review options before committing.

Subdued patches - black and grey versions of standard colorway patches for tactical or plain-clothes use - are available for most designs at a modest additional cost for the separate production run.

PVC morale patches are particularly popular among individual officers and small units. They're durable, waterproof, and compatible with Velcro-equipped gear. A custom morale patch for a squad, an anniversary, or a memorial is a meaningful and inexpensive gift that officers tend to keep for years.

Volume discounts apply on law enforcement orders as on any order. The price shown is your price. For a purchase order we can send that price in writing, and we support NET payment terms. A backing or border with no set price is confirmed within 2 business hours.

How much do custom police patches cost?
A standard 4-inch embroidered shoulder patch runs roughly $4.50-6.50 each at 50 pieces and $2.50-3.50 at 250 - the quantity most departments order. Design is free, shipping is free, and there are no setup or digitizing fees. There is no minimum, so a single squad can order PVC morale patches for itself.
What is the difference between PVC patches and embroidered patches?
Embroidered patches have a classic textile look with thread; PVC patches are molded rubber with vivid colors and are more weather-resistant.
What backing options are available for custom patches?
We offer sew-on, iron-on, Velcro hook, Velcro loop, adhesive peel-and-stick, and magnetic backings.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom patches?
No minimum on any type - order a single sample, or a run at our price breaks. One patch is a sample, $30 photographed or $60 mailed, with $30 credited back on a later run. Bulk pricing starts at 10 for embroidered and PVC, 25 for woven and printed/sublimated, 5 for chenille; need a quantity in between? Just ask - our team emails a quick quote.
