    Custom Embroidered Patches

    for NYC Police, Firefighters, and Uniformed Services

    Embroidered New York police department shield patch showing the Statue of Liberty and city skyline

    Embroidered patches are the standard for NY uniformed services because of their thread depth and laundering durability. Thread is stitched onto twill backing with a merrow border that locks the perimeter against fraying through heavy-use field and laundry cycles.

    • Pantone Thread Color MatchingThread colors are matched to the Pantone specification you supply, not approximated, for NY law enforcement, FDNY-area firefighter, MTA Police, and Port Authority orders.
    • Standard Sizes for NY Uniform PatchesShoulder: 3.5–4″ wide · Chest/collar insignia: 1.5–2.5″. Custom dimensions produced where your specification requires.
    • Sew-On Backing for Uniform UseSew-on is the required attachment for NY uniformed service garments, adhesive bonds degrade under laundering and field stress.

    Custom Woven Patches

    for Manhattan Corporate Branding and the Garment District

    Round navy blue woven patch featuring overlapping white and silver NY letters inside a split circular border

    Woven patches reproduce fine corporate logos at small sizes, which makes them the preferred choice for Manhattan firms and Garment District fashion labels. Polyester yarn is interlocked at the loom level to produce a flat, smooth surface where thin line weights and small typography hold without thread blur.

    • Built for Small Corporate LogosWoven yarn is finer than embroidery thread, curves, serifs, and narrow strokes in Wall Street and Midtown Manhattan logos reproduce legibly at chest-badge dimensions.
    • Garment District Fashion LabelsJacket chests, denim waistbands, bag interiors, and cap panels, the flat weave surface integrates with fabric rather than sitting on top of it.
    • Manhattan Hospitality UniformsHotel property crests and department identifiers on lapels and breast pockets, where size constraints require maximum logo accuracy at minimum dimensions.

    PVC Patches

    for NY Construction, Security, and Tactical Use

    Round black and yellow tactical PVC patch with a skull lightning bolt and strike fast stay silent text

    PVC patches are 3D-molded from flexible rubber compounds, fully waterproof, and resistant to Northeast rain, snow, UV exposure, and abrasion through NY construction-site and outdoor conditions. The rubber construction does not crack, fade, or absorb moisture.

    • Weather Resistance for Northeast Job SitesHolds color through freeze-thaw cycles, job-site abrasion, and high-moisture conditions NY construction crews and MTA contractors operate in daily.
    • Velcro Backing for Tactical & Security GearHook-and-loop backing allows NY private security firms and tactical teams to remove, reposition, or swap patches without tools or garment damage.
    • 3D Molded Logo DetailRaised design elements produce depth and dimension that flat-print alternatives cannot achieve on uniform patches and branded outdoor gear.

  • 04

    Leather Patches

    for Brooklyn Apparel Brands and Heritage Workwear

    Rectangular brown embossed leather patch for Iron Ridge Workwear featuring mountains and crossed hammers design

    Leather patches are produced in full-grain and faux leather for Brooklyn DTC apparel brands that require a tactile finish on denim, outerwear, and accessories. The etched or debossed surface becomes part of the material, there are no ink layers to crack, peel, or fade after repeated handling.

    • Debossed vs Laser-Etched LeatherDebossing presses the design into leather; laser-etching burns a darkened contrast line, both methods eliminate ink entirely.
    • Hat Patches for Brooklyn Cap BrandsRigid leather holds logo detail without warping on structured front panels and five-panel crowns.
    • Heritage Finish for Denim & BagsFull-grain leather patches on Williamsburg and Bushwick denim labels communicate material quality at the point of wear.

    Chenille Patches

    for NYC Schools, Varsity Jackets, and University Programs

    Large navy blue chenille letter N varsity patch with a white border for a letterman jacket

    Chenille patches are constructed from looped yarn tufted onto felt backing, producing the raised, tactile surface used on varsity letterman jackets and school athletics programs across NY State. The yarn fill holds its texture through repeated wear and seasonal storage without matting or flattening.

    • Letterman Patches for NYC High SchoolsNYC public and private high schools across the five boroughs use chenille letterman patches for athletics and academic achievement programs.
    • Greek Letter & Varsity PatchesCustom patches for NYC universities cover chapter letters for Greek organizations, mascots for athletics departments, and varsity identifiers.
    • School Color MatchingChenille yarn color-matched to the Pantone references you supply, new-season patches match jacket and uniform colors exactly.

  • 06

    Printed Patches

    for NY Events, Broadway, and Music Venues

    Round Northridge Outdoors printed patch showing a mountain sunset landscape a compass and explore adapt overcome text

    Printed patches use dye-sublimation to fuse high-resolution ink directly into fabric fibers, which allows photographic gradients and full-color detail that thread-based stitching cannot replicate at any thread count. This production method is the standard for NY entertainment clients who require complex artwork, small text, and multi-color designs on event merchandise.

    • Full-Color Event MerchandiseDye-sublimation reproduces photographic-quality imagery and brand gradients accurately across short runs, no color registration issues, no halftone dots.
    • Broadway Cast & Crew PatchesBroadway productions use printed patches for cast and crew merchandise, production identification, and limited-edition memorabilia sold at house stands.
    • Festival & Concert MerchandiseMadison Square Garden, Barclays Center, and Brooklyn venues use printed patches for tour merchandise where full-color artwork is non-negotiable.

Why choose us

Local Manufacturer vs. Drop-Shipper

Most custom patch vendors operating online are drop-shippers, they take your order, forward it to an overseas factory, add a markup, and ship directly to you with their label on the box. They have no production facility, no local presence, and no control over quality or turnaround. Here is how Custom Patches NY compares on every attribute that matters to an NY buyer.

Attribute Custom Patches New York Typical Drop-Shipper
Minimum order 1 piece, no MOQ Order one patch for a proof. No bulk commitment required. 50–100 piece minimums common
Where it’s made New York, locally manufactured Produced in-state. You can verify, visit, and hold us accountable. Overseas factory, often China or Pakistan
Production turnaround 7–10 business days No ocean freight delay. NY orders stay in NY. 3–6 weeks typical (customs + freight included)
Quote turnaround 1 hour Same business-day response for most NYC inquiries. 48–72 hours, time-zone lag from overseas sales teams
Shipping cost Free, NY and all USA No hidden freight charge added at checkout. Variable, often $15–$40 for expedited
Digital proofs Free, unlimited revisions Approve before anything is produced. No revision fees. 1–2 free revisions; charges apply beyond that
Digitizing fee Free on every order Your artwork is digitized at no charge, every time. $15–$50 digitizing fee common per design
Setup fees None Price you see is price you pay. No hidden setup charge. Screen/plate fees up to $75 on first order
Quality control Inspected in New York before dispatch Every batch checked locally, defects caught before they ship. Factory QC only, no local inspection point
Service area expertise Five boroughs + NY State + USA Knows NYPD, FDNY, MTA, and NY uniform standards by default. Generic USA-wide, no local regulatory knowledge

Verified NYC Client Feedback

What Our NYC Clients Are Saying

Real orders from NYPD precincts, FDNY houses, Garment District labels, Broadway productions, Wall Street firms, and New York construction crews. Every review below comes from a verified Custom Patches New York customer who paid, approved a free digital proof, and received free shipping inside the 7–10 business day window.

  1. Embroidered + Velcro

    Our precinct fraternal society ordered 120 embroidered patches with hook-and-loop backing for the annual Upper East Side charity ride. The first proof landed inside 18 hours. The merrow border held tight after a full season on duty bags, and the reorder this spring took one email.

    Officer Daniel R. NYPD Precinct Fraternal Society (member, personal capacity) Manhattan ★★★★★
  2. Embroidered + Iron-On

    Our association commissioned 200 memorial patches for a brother we lost from a Queens ladder company. CPNY matched the original 1978 helmet-shield colors on the first proof, no back-and-forth. The patches shipped to our Astoria hall nine business days after approval, free of charge.

    Frank M. FDNY Retiree Association Coordinator Astoria, Queens ★★★★★
  3. Woven Patches

    We needed 500 woven labels with 1mm text legibility for our SS26 capsule, sourced inside New York for the supply-chain copy on the hangtag. CPNY delivered approved samples in 24 hours and finished the full run in 10 business days. The Pantone 186C match was exact on the first weave.

    Renée O. Founder, Independent Streetwear Label Bushwick, Brooklyn ★★★★★
  4. Chenille Patches

    Our wardrobe department needed 32 unique varsity-style chenille patches for a 1950s revival running on 47th Street. The set-dressing budget couldn’t absorb a 50-piece minimum from other vendors. CPNY produced all 32 as a single run and delivered to the stage door inside two weeks.

    Maris L. Wardrobe Supervisor, Broadway Musical Revival Theater District, Manhattan ★★★★★
  5. Leather Patches

    Our partners commissioned 80 debossed leather patches as year-end client gifts for our institutional accounts. The vegetable-tanned hide and gold-foil specifications came back exact on the first proof. CPNY delivered to our Lexington Avenue office a full week before the holiday cutoff.

    David K. Director of Marketing, Private Wealth Advisory Firm Midtown Manhattan ★★★★★
  6. PVC + Velcro

    We outfit a 40-person field crew rotating between Brooklyn and Queens job sites. CPNY produced 120 PVC patches with velcro backing that survived a New York winter — abrasion, salt, and weekly wash cycles. The reorder lead time stays at 10 business days, order after order.

    Marcus T. Operations Manager, Commercial Construction Firm Long Island City, Queens ★★★★★
