Reorder gear by searching for your Squadron.
Custom military patches are often produced in large runs to outfit entire squadrons, wings, and aviation units. But not every situation requires a bulk order. Sometimes you need a single replacement patch, an extra embroidered insignia for a flight jacket, or a small run to complete a collection.
At Aviator Gear, small-quantity custom patch orders make it possible to purchase professional-grade embroidered patches without traditional minimum order requirements. This guide explains how small-batch embroidered patch production works, what to expect in terms of pricing, and how the ordering process ensures quality and accuracy.
Small-quantity patch orders are designed for customers who need low-volume embroidered patches from existing designs. Instead of committing to a large bulk purchase, individuals can order a single patch or a limited quantity while still receiving the same craftsmanship and stitch precision as full squadron runs.
This program applies exclusively to embroidered patch designs currently available in the catalog. Because PVC patches require molded production processes, custom PVC patches are not eligible for small-quantity manufacturing at this time.
By focusing on embroidered military patches, Aviator Gear ensures that every order maintains durability, consistent stitch density, and uniform-quality construction.

Ordering low-volume military patches follows a structured and accurate process. Since these patches are made to order rather than pulled from inventory, precision and communication are essential.
Choose an embroidered military patch from the current website catalog.
If you require multiple different patch designs, each design must be entered as its own line item during checkout. This ensures production accuracy and proper tracking.
During checkout, clearly identify the exact patch name in the Order Notes section.
Within 24 hours, a confirmation email is sent to verify your selected design before production begins. This final verification step protects against errors and ensures embroidery machines are calibrated correctly.
This streamlined process allows customers to confidently order small-quantity embroidered patches while maintaining professional standards.
One of the most common questions about low-volume custom patch production is pricing.
The reason small-quantity embroidered patches carry a higher per-unit cost comes down to machine setup and labor. Whether a technician runs one patch or one hundred patches, the setup time is essentially the same.
Each production run requires:
Because these setup costs cannot be distributed across a large production batch, the per-unit price reflects the dedicated machine time required for each order.
In short, you receive the same high-quality embroidered military patch as a full squadron order, but without the benefit of bulk pricing economics.
Small-quantity custom patches are not pre-stocked items. Each patch is produced using the same embroidery standards and durability requirements as large unit orders.
Due to integration into the main production schedule, the standard lead time is approximately four weeks. This timeframe allows for:
The result is a finished product suitable for flight suits, uniforms, morale gear, and aviation equipment.
