What Affects the Price of Military Patches
Every custom military patch is priced on your design, not a fixed rate. These are the factors that shape your quote, so you can plan your budget and get the best value on bulk orders.
- Patch Size
- Larger patches use more material and stitching. A small name tape costs less than a large back panel patch for a plate carrier.
- Detail & Stitch Coverage
- Designs with fine detail or full stitch coverage take longer to produce. Simplifying small text or background areas can bring the price down.
- Number of Colours
- More thread or PVC colours mean more production steps. Subdued and tonal designs often use fewer colours.
- Material
- Embroidered, PVC, woven and printed patches are made in different ways, so each has its own cost. We recommend the best value option for your kit.
- Backing
- Velcro, sew-on, iron-on and adhesive backings are priced differently. Velcro backing comes as standard on our military patches.
- Shape & Border
- Standard shapes with merrowed borders are the most cost effective. Custom outlines and laser-cut edges add a small amount to the price.
- Order Quantity
- The bigger the order, the lower the price per patch. Bulk and wholesale military patch orders for full units, cadet groups and associations get the best rates.

FAQ'S
What size are military patches?
Do your military patches come with velcro backing?
Yes. Velcro (hook and loop) backing comes as standard on our military patches, so they can be attached and swapped quickly on uniforms and kit. We also offer sew-on, iron-on and adhesive backing if you need a permanent finish.
Can you make velcro name tapes for our whole unit?
Yes. We make custom velcro name tapes for full units with matching font, colours and size across every name. Send us the list of names and we will include them all in your mockup before production.
Do you make subdued and IR military patches?
Yes. We make subdued patches in tones such as olive, coyote, MTP-matched and tonal black, as well as IR reflective patches for night identification. Tell us your kit colour and we will match your patch to it.
Which is better for military use, PVC or embroidered patches?
Both work well. PVC patches are waterproof and very durable, so they suit field kit, bags and harsh conditions. Embroidered patches have a classic textured look that suits uniforms and unit patches. We can recommend the best option for how your patch will be used.
Can you make patches from our unit's official insignia?
Official armed forces insignia are protected designs, so we ask for written authorisation from your unit or the relevant permission before production. Original designs created by or for your unit, team or association can be made once you confirm you have the right to use them.
