Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Patches
What is the minimum order for custom ACU patches?
Most military patch manufacturers require 25 to 50 patch minimum orders, though some offer lower quantities for individual soldier needs. Military units typically order 100 to 500 patches ensuring adequate inventory for new assignments, promotions, and replacements throughout training cycles and deployments, making volume ordering more economical for battalions and brigades.
Do custom ACU name patches meet AR 670-1 regulations?
Yes, properly manufactured custom ACU name patches meet Army Regulation 670-1 specifications including OCP compliant subdued coloring, regulation sizing at 1 inch height and 4 to 5 inch length, Gothic lettering font, and appropriate velcro hook backing. Reputable manufacturers ensure name tapes comply with current uniform standards for wear on Army Combat Uniforms throughout service.
How much do custom ACU rank patches cost?
Custom ACU rank patches typically cost $3 to $8 per patch depending on rank complexity and order quantity. Enlisted chevrons and officer insignia require similar pricing with more complex senior NCO and field grade officer ranks sometimes costing slightly more. Military units ordering bulk quantities for promotions and new assignments receive better per unit pricing for soldier uniform requirements.
Can custom ACU Velcro patches be machine washed?
Yes, quality custom ACU Velcro patches withstand machine washing when properly manufactured with durable hook backing and colorfast thread. Soldiers should close velcro to velcro during washing to prevent hook damage and lint collection. Washing ACU uniforms inside out in cold water and air drying extends patch lifespan, with properly made patches lasting 2 to 5 years through regular military uniform maintenance.
What colours are regulation for custom Army ACU patches?
Regulation custom Army ACU patches use OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) compliant subdued colors including coyote brown, black, and spice brown thread on matching OCP background fabric. Previous UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) in grey tones has been phased out. All current ACU patches must meet OCP colour standards as specified in AR 670-1 for proper uniform compliance.
How long does it take to receive custom ACU patches?
Standard custom ACU patch production takes 10 to 15 business days from artwork approval, with shipping adding 3 to 7 days for CONUS delivery or 7 to 14 days for APO/FPO addresses. Rush production completes in 5 to 7 business days for urgent military needs including deployments and change of command ceremonies. Military customers should plan accordingly for unit fielding timelines and soldier uniform deadlines.

I needed patches for an event and was worried about the timeline. Not only did they arrive on time, but the quality was outstanding. Very impressed!

Good quality patches at a reasonable price. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that one of the colors was slightly different than what I expected, but still looked good.
