custom security patches

Standard security shoulder patches typically measure 3.5 to 4 inches in diameter or 3x4 inches for shield shaped designs. Chest patches range from 2x3 inches to 3x4 inches depending on uniform shirt pocket size. Back panels for jackets usually measure 8x10 inches to 10x12 inches for maximum visibility. Name patches are commonly 1x4 inches or 1.5x4.5 inches with enough space for full names and titles. Most state security licensing agencies do not mandate specific patch sizes but require company identification be clearly visible.

Custom security uniform patches range from $1.50 to $6 per patch based on size, design complexity, and order quantity. Simple text based name patches start around $1.50 each in quantities of 100 or more. Detailed embroidered company logos typically cost $3 to $5 per patch. Large back panels for jackets range from $8 to $15 each. Bulk orders receive automatic discounts with 100 piece orders saving 25 to 35 percent compared to minimum quantity pricing.

Security patches with velcro backing can be removed and transferred between uniforms easily. Hook and loop systems allow security companies to move patches from dirty uniforms to clean ones without sewing. However, sew on patches provide more permanent attachment preferred by many security firms to prevent unauthorized patch removal or misuse. Iron on backing works for temporary applications but professional security companies typically choose sewn patches for durability and tamper resistance.

Most states require security patches display the registered company name clearly visible on uniforms. Some jurisdictions mandate inclusion of company license numbers or registration identifiers on patches. Security guards working armed positions may need patches indicating armed status in certain states. Federal contract security often requires specific patch formats matching government specifications. Check your state security licensing board requirements before finalising patch designs to ensure compliance.

Standard production for custom embroidered security patches takes 10 to 14 business days from final design approval. Rush production services can deliver completed patches in 5 to 7 business days for urgent security contract needs. Complex multi color designs may require additional production time for setup and quality testing. Reorders of existing patch designs ship faster since artwork is already prepared. Plan uniform orders at least 3 weeks before security officers need patches to allow for design revisions and shipping time.

Security company patches typically appear on both shoulders of uniform shirts with the company logo on the left shoulder and position title or location identifier on the right shoulder. Chest patches go above the left pocket showing company name or logo. Back panels on jackets display company name in large letters for visibility during patrol duties. Name patches attach above the right chest pocket or centred on the chest below any badge hardware. Follow your state security licensing requirements for mandatory patch placement specifications.Retry
