15 Amazing Custom Unit Patches: Military Morale Patches

Creating a custom made patch for military units can be an exciting task, although sometimes it turns into a tedious task, where you spend countless of sleepless nights scouring the internet trying to find inspiration to make your patch just perfect. You then submit your ideas to your patch manufacturer and (fingers crossed) just sit and wait for them to deliver the perfect patch to you.

Custom patches are often made using high quality materials to ensure they withstand wear and washing without fraying or fading, maintaining the appearance of items like uniforms and bags.

The above statement can sound a little idyllic for some.

Especially if this is the first time you are ordering custom patches over the internet or if you are using a manufacturer for the first time.

We know the fear can be real and that’s why we love to share successful customer stories, from beginning to end. Enjoy.

What would you say if we told you that we can make amazing CUSTOM Army Unit Patches from a simple sketch and a picture of an “inspiration patch”?

Well, our customers sent us this simple black and white version of their unit logo and a picture of a patch with a nice shape and style they liked, requesting custom made patches. The request was simple. Use these two elements, add a couple of flags, a wreath and well… Just make it work.

On the one hand the sort of caduceus symbol with the tittles above and below was their emblem, the main element that identified their unit, on the other hand we had this old style embroidered patch, with at least three elements: the phantom, the helicopter and the moon. Moreover, part of the mandatory requirement was to add those two flags, the American one and another from Afghanistan and the wreath. ¡That was too much for a little patch!

Our designer had to decide which elements to take out of the formula. At the end the only thing he could save from the old patch was the shape. And so after a couple of art iterations they decided this was the right design:

Which can scare some people of, all of those lines and terms such as “sewing line” “recessed line”… Some could say What the heck is this? But they didn’t. They either understood it or they decided they were going to trust us with the final design. Which looks just like this:

This is a better angle of it. Notice the caduceus stands out from the background thanks to the layer style. The same thing happens with the tittles in high relief. The flags and the wreath are part of the background thanks also to the layering technic.

 Celebrating Spirit and Unity: The Role of Military Unit Morale Patches

In the fabric of military life, where tradition and symbolism hold significant value, custom morale patches serve as a vibrant expression of unity, spirit, and sometimes humor. These patches, worn on uniforms, bags, or other gear, are more than just decorative. They play a crucial role in boosting troop morale and fostering a sense of camaraderie and identity among service members. Here’s a closer look at the significance of military unit morale patches and how they contribute to the esprit de corps.

 1. A Symbol of Identity and Pride

Custom morale patches offer military personnel a way to express their unit’s identity and ethos uniquely and creatively. Each patch is designed with symbols, mottos, or images that represent the unit’s particular culture, mission, or history. Wearing such a patch is a matter of pride, as it instantly identifies a soldier’s affiliation and their shared experiences and values with their fellows.

 2. Boosting Morale in Challenging Environments

The military environment can often be challenging and stressful, with service members facing long deployments away from family and operating under difficult conditions. Morale patches bring a touch of humor or a motivational message that can lighten the mood and boost spirits. This small morale enhancer can make a significant difference in maintaining the spirit of the troop.

 3. Encouraging Unity and Teamwork

By wearing a common symbol, members of a unit feel a stronger bond with each other. This unity is crucial in military operations where teamwork and mutual support can determine the success of a mission. Morale patches reinforce this sense of belonging and commitment to one another’s safety and success.

 4. Historical Significance and Collectability

Many morale patches also carry historical significance, commemorating past missions, notable events, or fallen comrades. They become collectible items, cherished by military personnel as mementos of their service and the pivotal moments of their careers. Collecting patches can become a hobby in itself, each patch telling a story and becoming a part of military history.

 5. Customization and Personal Expression

Unlike standard issue military insignia, morale patches are often unofficial and offer a space for personal expression, with custom patches designed for various applications like uniforms and bags. Units can design their patches, sometimes adding elements that reflect in-jokes or popular culture references that resonate with the group. This customization makes each patch deeply personal and valued by its wearers.

Custom Military Patch Production Process

Creating custom military patches is a meticulous process that ensures each patch meets the high standards required by military units. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we produce these high-quality patches:

  1. Design: The journey begins with the design phase. Whether you provide your own design or collaborate with our in-house team of experienced designers, we use specialized software to create a digital version that aligns perfectly with your specifications. This step is crucial in laying the foundation for a patch that truly represents your unit.
  2. Material Selection: Choosing the right material is essential for the patch’s intended use and appearance. We offer a variety of options, including embroidered patches, woven patches, PVC patches, and velcro patches. Each material has its unique benefits, and our team can help you select the best one based on your needs and budget.
  3. Color Matching: To ensure your custom military patches look exactly as envisioned, we use a precise color matching system. This involves creating a color palette that matches your specifications, ensuring consistency and vibrancy in the final product.
  4. Production: Once the design and materials are finalized, we move on to production. This stage involves cutting, sewing, and assembling the patch components with meticulous attention to detail. Our skilled craftsmen ensure that each patch is constructed to the highest standards.
  5. Quality Control: Before shipping, every patch undergoes a thorough quality control check. This step ensures that all patches meet our stringent quality standards, guaranteeing that you receive high-quality patches that you can wear with pride.

 Creating Your Own Military Morale Patches

For military units looking to create their own morale patches, the design process is a collaborative effort that embodies the spirit and character of the team.

Choosing the right patch size is crucial, as larger patches are ideal for tactical gear, while smaller sizes fit in more restricted areas, allowing for optimal customization.
