Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a standard shoulder patch?
Most shoulder patches measure 3 to 5 inches on their longest side, which keeps them readable from a distance without overrunning the sleeve. Hero’s Pride department shoulder patches typically range from about 3 x 3-5/8 inches to 4 x 5 inches, and every custom order is built to the size your uniform calls for.
What shoulder does a department patch go on?
Is there a minimum order?
Custom shoulder patch orders start at 10 pieces, with no obligation to proceed until you have approved a pre-production sample.
Can you reproduce our current shoulder patch?
Yes. Send us your current patch, a photo or the original artwork, and we will rebuild it with sharper lettering and consistent color matching. We confirm the order is placed by or for the agency before reproducing an agency patch.
Embroidered, woven or PVC: which should we choose?
Fully embroidered patches give the richest color and detail. Embroidered on twill uses less stitching and costs less. PVC holds up to weather, abrasion and daily wear, which is why tactical and SWAT units choose it. For more information on our patch types, feel free to contact us.
7. What backing options are available?
Heat seal, iron-on, hook and loop (also known as Velcro), stitch-on.
Do you help with the design?
Yes. Our design team works from your current patch, seal, logo or a rough sketch, and sends a pre-production sample for your approval before anything is made.
Can I get shoulder patches faster?
Yes. Choose rush when you request your quote, or see our custom patch rush delivery program for expedited production.
How do I order custom shoulder patches?
Request a quote with your current patch or design. An authorized Hero’s Pride dealer in your region takes it from there, including a pre-production sample for your approval before production.
