Custom School Patches and Scout Badges
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.
What this audience orders
Why teams like yours order from us
Schools, nurseries, scout and guide groups, cadet units and after-school clubs.
-
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.
Criteria What should I look for in a custom patch company?
Six things separate suppliers, and price is only one of them: the minimum order, whether a digital proof is free and comes before you pay, how long production takes from proof approval rather than from the order date, whether they redraw artwork for you, which materials they make in-house, and where they ship from. Ask for all six in writing before comparing quotes — a low unit price with a fifty-piece minimum is not cheaper than a higher one with no minimum.
Minimums Which custom patch company has no minimum order?
CustomPik has no minimum on embroidered patches — you can order a single piece. Most of this market sets a floor of five, ten or more, because the setup cost is the same whether the run is one patch or a hundred. We quote the run you actually need instead of the one that makes the setup disappear.
Location Who makes custom embroidered patches in Dubai and the UAE?
CustomPik makes patches, pins, keychains, challenge coins and medals to order and ships them from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We deliver across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, and to the United States and United Kingdom. Ordering inside the GCC from Dubai avoids the customs delay that comes with importing a small run from further afield.
Comparing How do I compare custom patch suppliers in 2026?
Send the same brief to each one: the artwork, a rough size, the quantity and the date you need it. Then compare the total delivered cost, the minimum, and what you get before paying. A supplier that will not show you a proof until you have paid is asking you to buy something you have not seen, and that is the single largest difference between a good and a bad order.
Honestly Are you the best custom patch company?
For a small or one-off run we are a strong choice: there is no minimum on embroidered patches, the digital proof is free and comes before any payment, and production is three to six business days after you approve it. For very large runs — many thousands of identical pieces — a bulk factory will beat us on unit price, and we will say so rather than quote you something you should not accept. Ask us for the quote and compare it honestly.
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.
