You See a Real Patch Before the Run

About four or five days after your artwork is approved, we send a photo of the actual first patch off the machine. Colors, stitching, and detail, on the real thing rather than a screen mockup. It is a chance to check the sample and raise anything before the rest is produced.

What We Make

A shield-shaped embroidered patch with a yellow border on dark blue fabric, displaying the text 'STRKFITRON 27' on a yellow banner above a silver gauntlet holding a spiked mace.

Embroidered Patches

Embroidered patches are the backbone of what we do. Thread on twill, from partial embroidery that leaves some background fabric showing to full coverage where the thread carries the whole design. Which one suits you depends on the artwork and the look you are after.
A flight medic PVC rubber patch featuring white wings, a red parachute, a red Star of Life on a yellow shield, and banners reading 'EX ALTO SALUS' and 'FLIGHT MEDIC'.

PVC Patches

PVC patches are molded rubber rather than stitched. They hold fine detail that thread cannot, and they shrug off weather and washing without fading. For modern subdued designs, or anything that lives outdoors on a pack or a plate carrier, they are hard to beat.
A close-up, angled view of a black woven patch with a thick stitched border and white embroidered text partially spelling 'NAVIODET GR' on a dark, fuzzy background.

Woven Patches

Woven patches use finer threads than standard embroidery, which lets them carry small text and tight detail that would be lost otherwise. Name tapes and unit rockers are the usual case, along with anything where legibility matters more than texture.

A circular brown leather patch attached to a blue baseball cap, featuring an engraved silhouette of the United States map and the text 'USA' with a small star.

Leather Patches

Leather patches use real or synthetic leather, laser-cut and often debossed or printed with your design. They bring a premium, rugged feel that works well on jackets, bags, and caps where a stitched patch would look out of place.
A star-shaped chenille patch featuring a textured blue center, a yellow embroidered inner border, and a flat blue felt outer edge, resting on a dark blue fabric.

Chenille Patches

Chenille are the raised, fuzzy, varsity-letter style, made from looped yarn that gives a thick tactile surface. They suit bold, simple shapes and lettering rather than fine detail, and they carry a classic, throwback look.

Customization

A shield-shaped patch with a hook-and-loop velcro backing partially peeling away from a dark blue fabric, featuring white, orange, and blue geometric sections with a grey banner reading 'AFSBN-SWA'.

Backings

Velcro hook-and-loop for anything that comes on and off a uniform or a plate carrier. Iron-on for the simplest application. Sew-on for the most durable. Adhesive for temporary use. Or plain, with no backing at all.
Embroidered patch with MCM CREW FEARLESS text, nautical symbols, and a yellow border on a white and blue background.

Borders and Edges

Merrowed overlock for the classic raised rope edge. Heat-cut and laser-cut for clean lines on complex outlines. Hand-stitched where the piece calls for it.

Shapes

Custom shapes are standard for us. Circles, shields, rockers, tabs, or an outline that follows your artwork exactly. If you can draw it, we can usually cut it.
A hand holds a Flight Medic patch featuring wings, a parachute, a red star of life with a caduceus, and the motto Ex Alto Salus..

Sizes

Patches run from about 1 inch up to 5 inches as standard. We can go larger on request, and we have made 10 inch back patches for motorcycle jackets, though the cost climbs quickly at that size. Below 1 inch gets difficult, because there is only so much detail thread will hold.
An embroidered patch on dark blue fabric featuring a central circular design of a bald eagle in flight and the US Capitol building dome against an American flag background. The patch has a black border and two yellow banners with blue text: 'SKYLINERS' on top and 'FLELOGSUPPRON 48' on the bottom.

A Note on Colors

Thread does not reproduce a screen color exactly. A design that looks right in a file can shift on fabric, which is worth knowing before you order patches from anyone.

 

That is why we send a photo of your actual first patch about four or five days after artwork is approved. You get to see how the colors and detail come out on the real thing and raise anything before the rest of the run is made.

 

Color range is broad, but it is not unlimited, and thread has real limits.

We would rather talk through how your design will translate into thread and set the right expectation up front than surprise you later.

How Ordering Works

Share Your Vision

Send your design, a sketch, or just a description, along with quantity and rough size. Our artists work up the design, usually at no charge, and we agree it with you before anything is made.

You See The First Patch

About four or five days after artwork approval we send a photo of the actual first patch for you to check colors and detail.
A navy blue circle with the white number 3 in the center and a smaller red circle with a white checkmark in the lower right corner.

We Run The Order

Standard turnaround is around two and a half weeks. Rush work is possible, with seven to ten days as the realistic floor.
Let's Get Started

Trusted Since 2005

Have had the best experience working with Alex, Marty, and Jim at KidderCorp on my custom Commander Coin! Artwork was detailed and seemed to throw off lower-skilled manufacturers, but from the first contact the KidderCorp team has been on it, accommodating the design requests, timeframe (which is tight), and the budget!
We are so excited to see the finished product. I will share a pic as soon as we get it in.
Thank you for your service to and for our country, and for your exceptional service on my project!

The coins by Kidder are superior quality. The entire company is veteran owned and operated that understands needs of the customer. The quality of the coin reflects the expert craftsmanship and ability to design coins based on the customer input. Do not go any where else for a challenge coin. You deserve the best!!

Amazing working with Marty and the rest of his team. Very fast response, great designing and artwork experience while ordering a coin for my department – I will definitely use them for the rest of my career!

I have used Kidder coins now for a few coins and for various units. As a Sergeant Major I had some Brigade coins made, now I am a Warrant Officer and had an idea I wanted out into a special coin. I took a few pictures from the internet, my vision, and submitted to Kidder. I could not be more happier with the final product. The customer service is phenomenal and dialogue from start to finish is terrific. What a great company, owned by a Veteran as well! Great job, again!

Kidder Corp Coins did a great job designing and producing a beautiful Challenge Coin for the Taffy III Reunion Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Battle off Samar. Everyone was impressed and they made a wonderful souvenir for the attendees. Many thanks for your help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Twenty-five pieces. That is lower than most patch makers, and it is deliberate, since a section, a small unit, or a single ceremony often does not need a hundred.
Around two and a half weeks is standard from artwork approval. We can move faster when you have a date to hit, though seven to ten days is realistically the floor.
No. Digitizing is built into the unit price, the same way our coin molds are. The quote you get is what you pay.
Yes. About four or five days after your artwork is approved we send you a photo of the actual first patch, so you can check the colors and detail on the real thing before the rest of the run is produced.
Usually close, and the sample photo is there so you can see the result before the full run. Thread has real limits though, and some screen colors do not translate perfectly onto fabric. If a color is likely to be a problem we will flag it up front and suggest the closest workable option rather than let it surprise you.
Velcro hook-and-loop if the patch needs to come on and off. Sew-on if it is going somewhere permanent and needs to last. Iron-on for simplicity. Adhesive for short-term use. If you are unsure, tell us what it is going on and we will recommend one.
Typically yes. Send us what you have, even a rough sketch, and our artists will work it up.
From about 1 inch up to 5 inches as standard, with larger sizes available on request. We have made 10 inch back patches, though cost rises steeply at that end.
Yes, and a lot of our patch work is exactly that. If we have made coins for you, we can carry the same design across so the set matches.

Yes. USPS Priority Flat Rate shipping is included for all domestic and APO/FPO addresses.
International shipping is available at additional cost.
