What I make
One design, any format
Most departments start with a coin and come back for patches, pins and stickers off the same artwork. Once the design is drawn, it carries across everything.
02 / PATCHES
Patches
Embroidered, woven, PVC and leather. Hook-and-loop backing, merrowed or laser-cut borders, subdued or full color for uniform wear.
- Shoulder, chest & morale
- Velcro-backed available
- Subdued / IR options
03 / PINS
Lapel pins
Award pins, years-of-service pins, memorial pins and unit pins. Butterfly clutch, rubber back or locking military clutch.
- Soft & hard enamel
- Cut-out and 3D shapes
- Small runs welcome
04 / DECALS
Stickers & decals
Die-cut vinyl, domed and window decals in the same artwork as your coin. Cheap way to get the design in everyone's hands fast.
- Die-cut to shape
- Outdoor-rated vinyl
- Fast turnaround
05 / EXTRAS
Keychains & more
Bottle openers, keychains, coin holders and display racks — good add-ons for fundraisers, academy classes and retirement gifts.
- Fundraiser bundles
- Display stands
- Ask about custom items
How it works
From sketch to shipped
Four steps, and you approve every one before it moves forward. Nothing gets made until you say it's right.
Tell me the idea
Send a photo of your patch or badge, a rough sketch, or just a description. I'll ask about quantity, size and what the piece is for.
Free artwork
You get a full-color rendering with no design fee and no obligation. Revise it as many times as you need — there's no cap and no charge.
Approve the sample
Once artwork is locked, the mold is cut and I send you high-resolution photos of the first piece. Nothing goes to full production until you sign off.
Production & delivery
Full run is manufactured, packed and shipped to you. Coins typically land 4–5 weeks after approval; patches and pins run 3–4.
Why work with me
I know the job
This isn't a print shop taking orders off a form. The details that make a piece look right — rank structure, unit history, what actually reads on a 2-inch coin — are the whole point.
No design fees
Artwork is free, whether you order or not. You see the piece before you commit a dollar.
Unlimited revisions
Change the ribbon, the wording, the finish, the whole thing. I work it until the department is happy.
Direct line
You deal with me start to finish. No ticket numbers, no offshore call center.
Built for budgets
Purchase orders, W-9s, invoices for the union or the association — I work the way departments actually pay.

Questions
The things everybody asks
How long does an order take?
Once artwork is approved, coins generally take 4–5 weeks and patches and pins 3–4 weeks. Partway through, you'll get high-resolution photos of the sample to review. If you'd rather hold a physical sample before approving, I can ship one — that adds time to the schedule.
What does it cost?
Price depends on size, thickness, how much 3D relief the design has, and quantity. Deeper 3D means a more expensive mold; larger runs bring the per-piece price down. Every order is quoted individually so I can work to whatever budget you're given.
Is there a minimum order?
Yes — 25 pieces for patches and 50 for coins. Those minimums come from the manufacturing side: a mold or a screen has to be made either way, so very small runs end up costing nearly as much as a sensible one. Past the minimum, the more you order the lower the price per piece goes, which is why a lot of departments order a few extra to keep on hand.
Can you make a custom shape?
Yes. Coins can be cut to any outline — a badge shape, a state, a maltese cross, a patrol car. Take a look at the gallery for examples of what's been done.
Who do you make these for?
Mostly police, fire, EMS, sheriff's offices, corrections and transit agencies, plus military units and federal agencies. I also do academy classes, unions and benevolent associations, motorcycle clubs, non-profits, private companies and the occasional wedding.
What do you need from me to start?
An idea and a rough quantity. A photo of your patch or badge helps, but a description is enough to get the first rendering going. Artwork files are welcome if you have them — vector (.ai, .eps, .svg) is ideal, but I can work from a clear photo.
Do you do memorial and line-of-duty pieces?
Yes, and they get handled with the care they deserve. Tell me the situation and I'll work to whatever timeline the family or department needs.
No obligation
