Careers at New York Patch Co.
We Don’t Just Hire. We Recruit Technicians.
New York’s police departments, fire companies, Fortune 500 firms, and Garment District fashion houses trust New York Patch Co. with their identity. We are looking for the few who understand why a 0.5mm registration error on a law enforcement patch is not acceptable.

What We Offer — and What We Don’t
New York Patch Co. does not offer ping pong tables or “culture decks.” We offer the discipline of manufacturing real, tangible product for clients who depend on precision — from FDNY-area fire companies ordering helmet patches to Manhattan corporate offices rolling out employee uniforms across 40 floors.
What we require:
-
Obsession with Craft.
You spot a misaligned merrow border before it reaches the heat press. You know the difference between 75% and 100% embroidery coverage by sight. If it is not right, you stop the run.
-
Local Knowledge.
You understand why a Midtown procurement officer has different expectations than a Brooklyn motorcycle club president. You know the Garment District is not a tourist attraction — it is where New York’s apparel infrastructure operates.
-
Production Speed.
Standard turnaround at CPNY is 7–10 business days. Rush orders compress that timeline. You deliver on deadline, every time, without compromising quality control.
The 3 Non-Negotiables
-
The Inspection Standard
Every team member — from digitizing to shipping — is trained to inspect for thread tension, color accuracy, backing alignment, and trim quality. Every patch is checked against the approved design proof before it leaves the facility. If it does not match, it does not ship.
-
The Five-Borough Mindset
New York Patch Co. serves Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island — plus nationwide. Each borough generates different orders: corporate logo patches from Financial District firms, chenille letterman patches from Queens high schools, PVC tactical patches for upstate law enforcement agencies. You need to understand the client behind the order.
-
Straight Talk
We do not inflate lead times to look fast. We do not hide costs in “setup fees.” If a client’s artwork will not digitize cleanly at the size they requested, you tell them directly and offer the fix. Every quote from CPNY is honest, and every team member upholds that.
Our Manufacturing Environment
New York Patch Co. operates a production facility in New York equipped for embroidered, woven, PVC, leather, chenille, printed, sublimated, and bullion patch manufacturing. The facility runs multi-head embroidery machines, digital printing equipment, PVC molding stations, and a dedicated quality control area.
This is a manufacturing environment. Expect production floors, not open-plan offices. Expect thread dust, not espresso bars. The work is physical, precise, and deadline-driven.

Senior Embroidery Digitizer
Mastery of Wilcom or Pulse digitizing software required. You convert complex artwork — military crests, intricate corporate logos, fine-detail law enforcement insignia — into production-ready stitch files. Experience with multi-head embroidery machine output and thread density optimization is essential.
Apply NowQuality Control & Fulfillment Specialist
The last checkpoint before a patch reaches the client. You inspect every unit for thread tension, color match against Pantone references, backing adhesion, border consistency, and trim quality. You document defects, flag production issues, and coordinate with the shipping team for on-time fulfillment across all five boroughs and nationwide orders.
Apply NowB2B Account Manager (Law Enforcement / Corporate)
You manage relationships with procurement officers, uniform coordinators, and brand managers across New York City and the tri-state area. You understand bulk ordering workflows, reorder consistency requirements, and the compliance language required for law enforcement and municipal accounts. Obsessive attention to timelines, quoting accuracy, and client communication is non-negotiable.
