Schools, scouts & youth groups
For everyone who earned one
House badges, proficiency patches, prefect pins, medals for sports day. Schools order in the hundreds and youth groups in the dozens, and both need the badge to still look like itself after a term of hot washes and a playground.
Schools, nurseries, scout and guide groups, cadet units and after-school clubs.
What this audience orders
Why teams like yours order from us
-
Budget is per pupil, not per order
A badge for every child in a year group is a different sum from a badge for a committee. Tell us the head count and we will price against that rather than against a minimum.
-
Survives the wash, and the playground
School uniform is washed hot and often. We use a heavier backing and a denser stitch on kit badges than on a display piece, because the failure here is fraying at the corner after two terms.
-
House colours held across years
Blue house has to be the same blue next September. The approved thread specification stays on file, so the next intake matches the last one rather than being re-guessed.
-
Badges, and the medals to go with them
Sports day, speech day, a reading challenge. Medals and patches ordered together share one artwork setup instead of two.
-
No minimum order
On embroidered patches. Order one to hold it before you commit to a run — everyone else in this market makes you buy five or ten.
-
Free digital proof
You see exactly what will be made, and nothing goes into production until you approve it.
-
3–6 days production
Business days, counted from your approval. Shipping is additional and depends on the destination.
Questions we get asked
Ordering Can you do a badge for every child in the school?
Yes, and that is the quantity where the price per badge drops fastest. Give us the head count and the number of houses or year groups and we will quote the whole thing, split however you need to order it.
Durability Will the badge survive being washed every week?
That is what we build uniform badges for. Sew-on, heavier backing, denser stitch at the edge — the corner lifting after two terms is the failure we design against.
Ordering We need proficiency badges in a lot of small quantities.
Normal for scout and guide groups. Each design is set up once and reordered in whatever quantity that badge is actually earned in, rather than being bought in bulk and stored for years.
Artwork Can you match our existing school badge?
Send a photograph of one, and the artwork if you still have it. We match the shape, size and colours on the proof, so a replacement order sits beside the old ones without looking like a replacement.
Lead time How long does an order take?
Production runs 3 to 6 business days, counted from the moment you approve the proof — not from when you place the order. Shipping is on top of that and depends on the destination and the service you choose.
Timing When does the clock start?
At proof approval. Nothing is cut, stitched or struck until you have seen the digital proof and said yes, so a slow approval moves the finish date with it.
Destinations Where do you ship?
We make to order and ship from Dubai across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ask us for anywhere else — it is usually possible.
Minimums Is there a minimum order?
Not on embroidered patches — order one if one is what you need. Moulded and struck lines carry a minimum because they need tooling, and the quote states it before you commit to anything.
File types What artwork do you need from me?
Vector is ideal — AI, EPS or PDF. We also take PNG, JPG, WEBP, TIFF, PSD, GIF and ZIP, and honestly a clear photograph of a sketch is enough to quote from and start on.
No artwork What if I do not have artwork yet?
Send the idea — a rough drawing, a reference you like, or a description. We draw it up and send it back as a proof for you to approve before anything is made.
Proofs Do I see it before it is made?
Always. You get a free digital proof and nothing goes into production until you approve it. If it is not right, say so and we change it.
Contact How do I reach a person?
WhatsApp on +971 52 933 2878 is fastest, or email info@custompik.com. A person answers — there is no ticket queue between you and the people making the thing.
Quotes How do I get a price?
Send the artwork and the quantity and we come back with a fixed quote. Nothing on this site is charged automatically and you pay nothing up front.
Problems What if something arrives wrong?
Tell us and send a photograph. The proof you approved is the reference — if what arrived does not match it, that is on us to put right.
Not on this list?
These pages exist because that is where people search, not because the range stops there. We have made badges for bands, clinics, security firms, cadet corps, charities, restaurants, martial arts clubs, conventions and a fair few things we still cannot categorise.
Send the artwork and we will send back a digital proof before anything is made. Artwork and a number is the whole requirement.
