Why Choose Tactical Patches for Your Gear?
Military patches, police patches, and morale patches started as essential identifiers for units and rank. Today, they also help you tell your story:
Our customers range from SWAT teams needing police patches to hobbyists collecting funny patches or NSFW patches for a bit of edge. What sets our patches apart is the commitment to quality: each one is crafted with precision, using materials that withstand extreme conditions, from desert deployments to everyday urban adventures.
Patches have a rich history in military culture, dating back to World War I when they were used to denote ranks, divisions, and achievements. Today, they've evolved into versatile items for customization. Whether you're patching up a tear in your survival gear or adding flair to your favorite jacket, our patches combine functionality with fun.
With themes spanning American flag patches, state flag patches, comic and video game patches, and even holiday seasonal patches, there's something for every taste.
Exploring Our Patch Types: From Embroidered to PVC and Beyond
We pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of patch styles to suit any application. Here's a breakdown of our most popular categories:
Embroidered Patches: Classic Durability and Detail
Embroidered patches are the cornerstone of our collection, with over 693 options available. These patches are made by stitching threads onto a sturdy fabric base, creating vibrant, textured designs that pop.
They're perfect for military uniforms, tactical vests, to be used as police K9 unit patches, or even casual wear. Our embroidered patches come in sizes like 2x3 inches for compact placement or larger 4x10 inches for bold statements.
What makes them stand out? The intricate detailing allows for complex artwork, such as U.S. Army patches, U.S. Marine Corps patches, or funny morale patches for collectors like our "I'm Not Rude - I Just Have Balls."
They're fade-resistant and machine-washable, ensuring they hold up through rigorous use. If you're a collector, our embroidered military patches are must-haves, featuring themes from Spartan motifs to zodiac signs.
Iron-On Patches: Easy Application for Quick Customization
For those who want hassle-free attachment, try our iron-on patches for survival gear, travel packs, and casual clothing. Simply place the patch on your fabric, apply heat with a household iron, and you're done—no sewing required. These are ideal for beginners or anyone in a rush, like adding a blood type patch to your medical kit or a funny patch to your gym bag.
Our iron-on options include heat-press vinyl patches (54 available) that bond securely to cotton, polyester, and other materials.
They're especially popular for custom patches, where you can personalize with names, ranks, or slogans. Pro tip: For best results, use a pressing cloth to avoid scorching delicate fabrics.
Custom Patches: Tailored to Your Vision
Looking for something unique? Our custom patches section features 100 designs, but we go beyond that with fully customizable options. Create military name tapes for the U.S. Army, Navy, or Marines, complete with ranks and Velcro backing for easy swaps. Whether it's a service dog patch for your working animal or a scuba diver patch for your adventure gear, our customization process ensures a perfect fit.
We use high-quality embroidery on durable bases, available in colors like Multicam, Olive Drab, or Coyote Brown. Custom patches are great for teams, events, or personal projects—imagine a police K9 patch for your unit or a religious patch for spiritual motivation.
PVC Patches: Rugged and Weatherproof
For extreme durability, check out our 89 PVC patches. Made from flexible polyvinyl chloride, these are waterproof, UV-resistant, and ideal for outdoor gear. They're popular in tactical circles for their 3D texture and glow-in-the-dark options, like our "Don't Tread On Me" PVC patch. Sizes range from 3 inches round to custom shapes, making them versatile for helmets, bags, or vests.
