Custom Name Patches

Healthcare (nurses, doctors, techs), law enforcement, fire departments, military, hospitality (hotel staff, restaurant servers), retail, manufacturing, and security are the heaviest users of name patches. Name patches are also popular for youth sports identifying jersey names, summer camp staff, convention badges, and any environment where staff identification improves customer service.

We offer a wide range of font styles — block print for maximum legibility, script fonts for hospitality and upscale service environments, military stencil fonts for defense and law enforcement, collegiate fonts for sports applications, and custom font matching your existing branding. Share your brand font or a sample of your current signage and we will match it as closely as embroidery allows.

The industry standard name patch for shirt application is 1 inch tall by 3.5-4 inches wide — long enough to fit a first name and last name initial, or a full last name clearly. For positions requiring first and last name, 1x4.5 inches accommodates most. Rank and title can be added above or below the name in a second line within the same patch. We customize dimensions to fit your uniform.

Yes. Mixed-name orders within a single purchase are common — an employer ordering 15 patches with 15 different employee names, for example. Simply provide a list of names and your chosen font, color, and background, and we produce each patch with the correct name. No setup fee per unique name in the same style run — you only pay the per-unit cost.

If employees share uniforms or transfer between roles, Velcro-backed name patches (hook on the patch, loop sewn to the uniform) allow easy attachment and removal. This is common in healthcare environments where seasonal staff change frequently. For permanent assignments, iron-on with a reinforcing stitch is the cleanest, most professional look for name patches worn daily.
