Questions

Morale patch questions, answered.

What is a morale patch?+

A patch worn for fun and team spirit rather than official identification: a mascot, an in-joke, a team motto or a design made for a fundraiser. Most attach with hook and loop, so they can be swapped on a plate carrier, pack or cap.

Should a morale patch be PVC or embroidered?+

PVC is molded rubber: waterproof, wipes clean and can be built in raised layers, so it suits gear that lives outdoors. Embroidered gives the classic thread texture and handles bold shapes and lettering well. UV printed PVC adds a full-color print on the rubber for shading and gradients.

What size is a morale patch?+

3 inches is the common size on the front of a plate carrier. Size is measured on the patch's longest side. PVC is priced instantly up to 5 inches and embroidered up to 7.

Do morale patches come with velcro?+

Yes, if you choose velcro backing. Both the hook and the loop side are included, for $0.55 more per patch. Sew-on is included at no charge. Iron-on is not offered on PVC, because rubber does not take the heat.

What is the minimum order for morale patches?+

25 pieces per design, and at 50 you reach our Best Value pricing. Each design has its own setup, so teams usually pick one or two designs and run a proper batch rather than a few pieces of many.

Can you put a brand logo or an official insignia on a morale patch?+

We make the artwork you supply and approve. We do not reproduce protected marks without permission from their owner, and we do not make insignia meant to pass someone off as a member of a unit they do not belong to. If you are unsure about a design, ask us before you order.
