Custom Patches for Uniforms
Custom patch uniforms for crews, departments and service teams — embroidered or woven, sew-on or hook-and-loop, no minimum, shipped in 10 business days. Design free with AI.
A uniform patch has to survive a working week, which makes it a different design problem from a patch meant to be admired on a jacket. It will be washed hot, worn against a seatbelt or a tool belt, and read at a distance by someone deciding whether you are the person they called. That pushes uniform patches toward embroidered construction with a merrowed border, a shape the wearer can align by feel, and a colour pair with enough contrast to survive fading. Chest patches usually sit between 3 and 4 inches wide; shoulder patches run taller than they are wide so they follow the sleeve. If the same garment is shared across shifts, hook-and-loop backing lets one jacket carry a different name every day. Describe the role and the AI returns a production-ready uniform patch in seconds, reviewed by a person before anything is stitched.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should a uniform patch be?
A chest patch is usually 3 to 4 inches wide, which reads clearly across a counter without crowding a pocket seam. Shoulder patches are normally taller than they are wide, between 3.5 and 4.5 inches tall, so the shape follows the curve of the sleeve rather than fighting it. If you are matching an existing patch on a uniform you already own, measure that one and send the dimensions with your brief.
Will a uniform patch survive industrial washing?
An embroidered patch with a merrowed border is the most durable option and holds up through hundreds of wash cycles with minimal fade. The failure point in practice is almost never the patch itself but the attachment, which is why we recommend sew-on rather than iron-on for anything washed hot and often. Iron-on adhesive softens with repeated heat, and on a work garment that shows up as a lifting corner after a few months.
Can different people share one uniform with different name patches?
Yes, and hook-and-loop backing is how it is normally done. The loop side is sewn onto the garment once and each name patch carries the hook side, so one jacket can change hands between shifts in a few seconds. It is the standard arrangement for shared gear and for any role where names change more often than jackets do.
