Firefighters and Paramedics around the country rush to the call of duty at a minute’s notice. These trained professionals learn how to work hard under pressure so they can be an asset during emergency situations. Embroidered patches created for Fire Personnel and EMTs have a number of uses. Most commonly sewn to uniforms for identification purposes, the durable items come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles.

Embroidered Patches Plus has helped customers in the past create custom patches to honor the brave men and women who put their lives on the line everyday to help others in need. These individuals are often rewarded for their efforts. Fire department awards are often handed out to exceptional people who go above and beyond the call of duty. Fallen firefighters and emergency personnel can also be honored by having their name or initials included in the design of the fire dept patches.

Determining the Type of Patch That Works Best For Your Department

As experienced sales professionals and designers, we have had the honor of working with customers from around the world. From time to time, we are asked questions about custom fire department patches. The following information can serve as a guide to help new customers determine what type of patches work best for their particular cause or department.

The following types of fire department paramedic patches are available to order through Embroidered Patches Plus:

  • Up to 75% Embroidery
  • 76%-100% Embroidery

There are also two different border styles to choose from. They are:

  • Merrow Border. Popular with simple shapes and designs.
  • Hot-Cut Border. Great for irregular shaped patches.

Fire station patches can have different styles of backings. The most common is PVC. Iron-on, Velcro, and Peel & Stick options exist for an additional fee. These types of embroidered patch backings add convenience which is one of the reasons why they are so popular.

Common Things Included in the Design Process of Custom Patches

Personalized products often include identifying information about a Fire Department and its Firefighters and EMTs. Some of the things that we often include in the design process are:

  • Details about the Fire Department’s Name and Location.
  • Fire Department Emblems and Mottos.
  • Special Honors and Events.
  • Information About a Fallen Firefighter or Paramedic.
