custom tactical vest patches

Custom tactical vest patches typically range from $2 to $8 per patch depending on size, complexity, and order quantity. Bulk orders of 100 or more patches receive volume discounts that can reduce per unit costs by 30 to 40 percent. PVC patches generally cost less than fully embroidered designs, while specialty features like glow in the dark thread or infrared reflective materials increase pricing.

Most tactical vest patches use hook and loop velcro backing systems that allow quick removal and repositioning. The rough hook side attaches to the patch backing while the soft loop panel is sewn onto your vest or plate carrier. Some professionals prefer sew on patches for permanent placement, particularly for unit identifiers and department logos. Iron on backing is not recommended for tactical applications due to durability concerns under field conditions.

PVC tactical patches are made from flexible rubber material that offers superior weather resistance and three dimensional design capabilities. They perform exceptionally well in wet conditions and are easier to clean than embroidered patches. Embroidered patches provide a more traditional military appearance with thread based designs on fabric backing. Many tactical professionals choose PVC for field operations and embroidered patches for dress uniforms.

Yes, we specialize in custom police velcro patches manufactured to law enforcement specifications. Our patches meet durability standards required by police departments and include options for reflective borders, subdued color schemes for tactical operations, and high visibility designs for traffic duty. We can replicate existing department patch designs or create new custom artwork that incorporates your agency's seal, motto, and color scheme.

Custom ID patches for tactical vests commonly include officer name, badge number, blood type, and agency identifier. Many departments also add role specific designations like K9 handler, crisis negotiator, or tactical medic. We recommend keeping text large enough for easy reading from 10 feet away and using high contrast colour combinations. Subdued patches for covert operations typically use tan, olive, or black colour schemes instead of bright departmental colours.
