Custom EMS & Paramedic Patches

EMS uniforms typically carry a shoulder patch with the service or agency name on each sleeve, a rank or role identifier (EMT, paramedic, supervisor), name tapes, and sometimes a state certification or unit patch. Many services also add the Star of Life symbol and reflective or hi-vis elements for night-scene visibility. We produce all of these as embroidered patches built for daily uniform wear.

Embroidered patches with sew-on backing are the standard for EMS, EMT, and paramedic uniforms. Embroidery is durable and reads clearly at a distance, and sew-on backing survives the frequent, hot, and sometimes industrial laundering that duty uniforms go through. Iron-on is not recommended for uniforms washed this often. Hook-and-loop Velcro is available where crews swap patches between jackets and duty shirts.

We reproduce your department or agency insignia and standard EMS design elements on your patch. Some symbols and seals are protected or restricted (the Star of Life is a controlled symbol, and many state and agency seals require authorization), so we ask that you confirm you are authorized to use any protected mark on your order. Our designers will lay out your approved artwork on a free mockup before production.

Yes. Bright neon and hi-vis thread improves visibility on night scenes and roadside calls, and is a common request for EMS and rescue patches. Glow-in-the-dark thread is also available for specific elements. See the threads and twills guide for the full range; our team will recommend the most legible combination for your design on the proof.

Just 5 pieces, so a small volunteer squad or a single station can order without a large run, and unit price falls as quantity rises for department-wide orders. Embroidered EMS patches start at $0.91 per piece at 2 by 2 inches and 1,000 pieces; smaller runs cost more per piece. No setup fees, no digitizing fees, and free worldwide shipping on every order.

Yes. Departments commonly order a coordinated set: left and right shoulder patches, rank patches, name tapes, and unit or specialty patches, all color-matched and consistent across the service. With a 5-piece minimum and no setup fees you can standardize the whole crew, reorder as staff change, and keep every patch identical. Every order includes a free mockup, unlimited revisions, and a money-back guarantee.
