Custom Military Patches

Custom military patches have a long and celebrated history. Their roots can be traced back to ancient civilizations and empires, such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Much like it happens today, badges and insignias were used in those early times as custom military patches to distinguish rank and affiliation between soldiers. 

Carrying regimental colors and flags into battle was not only a form of unit identification but of pride and camaraderie among hundreds or thousands of troops.

However, it was only during the 18th century that embroidery custom military patches began to emerge as a distinct feature of European militaries. They featured original and intricate designs reflecting the regiment’s history and heritage and were mainly used by officers. 

Standard unit patches only came to the forefront during World War I. Amid large-scale combat, quick identification on the battlefield was required. Naturally, morale boost, pride, and unity were also a crucial role they played among troops.

After this period, custom military patches underwent significant evolution due to technological advancements that allowed for more intricate and colorful designs, new materials, and embroidery methods. 

Since then, custom military patches continue to be a vital part of army and navy culture, serving as symbols of identity, morale, and achievement for service members worldwide.

When designing army uniform patches, pay attention to the standards of military uniforms and identify either division patches, regiment patches, or special skill badges.

Unlike their uniform counterparts, Velcro patches tend to be more convenient and flexible, since they can be easily attached and removed from different uniforms or gear, which helps making them a popular choice for custom military patches.

When opting for Velcro you should also consider their different used which, in turn, will influence the materials chosen. 

Military Velcro patches should be durable enough to withstand harsh conditions, but they do not need to be as resistant as the tactical alternative.
