Custom Patches San Diego Military & Veteran Discount (20% Off)
Custom Patches San Diego offers a flat 20% discount on all custom patch orders for Active Duty personnel, Reservists, Veterans, Retirees, and their dependents. There is no minimum purchase required to use the code, and you can use it as many times as you need. San Diego is a military town. We don’t just operate here; we manufacture the tactical gear and unit insignia that deploys with you.
Why We Offer This (The San Diego Connection)
We aren’t a nameless online broker. We are a factory operating in the shadow of some of the largest military installations in the world.
When a squadron out of MCAS Miramar needs flight suit patches, they call us. When a ship leaves 32nd Street Naval Station and needs deployment morale patches, we run the machines. We know the difference between Bagilla and Scorpion W2 camouflage. We know that salt spray out in Coronado destroys cheap cotton thread, which is why we only use heavy-duty, solution-dyed polyester and waterproof PVC.
You guys do the hard work. Giving you 20% off the invoice is the easiest decision we make all day.

What Can You Use the Discount On?
The code applies to our entire manufacturing line. Whether you are ordering 50 regulation uniform patches or 500 PVC morale patches for a ship’s store, the discount applies to the total invoice.
1. Regulation Unit Patches (Embroidered)
If your unit needs shoulder insignia, we build them to exact Institute of Heraldry specs. We match the OCP “Spice Brown” thread perfectly. We use a high-density satin stitch for the border so it doesn’t fray when you drag your gear through the dirt at Camp Pendleton.
2. Tactical PVC Patches
This is the standard for field gear. PVC is waterproof, mud-proof, and flexible. We cast these in CNC-milled metal molds. If your platoon wants 3D-sculpted morale patches that survive a six-month deployment without fading or peeling, PVC is what you order.
3. Woven IR & Callsign Patches
For plate carriers and helmets, we manufacture flat woven patches. Because they use a loom instead of an embroidery needle, we can get razor-sharp text for small callsigns, blood types, or infrared (IR) flags.
The Fine Print (No Corporate Nonsense)
I hate hidden rules, so here is exactly how the discount works:
Unlimited Use:
This isn’t a one-time gimmick. You can use your discount code on every re-order.
No Minimum Spend:
Whether your invoice is $100 or $5,000, you get 20% off. (Note: Our factory minimum order quantity of 50 patches per design still applies, but the dollar amount has no minimum).
No Stacking:
You cannot stack this 20% discount on top of other seasonal sales or wholesale tier promotions. The system will take whichever discount gives you the lowest price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this discount for a massive command order?
Absolutely. If you are the Supply Officer outfitting an entire battalion or ship, send us the specs. The 20% discount applies to bulk orders. We will get your PO processed and the machines running.
Is free shipping included?
We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $50. Since our minimum patch order usually crosses that threshold, your shipping within the U.S. (including APO/FPO addresses) is almost always free.
Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses?
Yes. We ship gear all over the world. Whether you are stationed locally at 32nd Street or forward-deployed in the Pacific, we know how to navigate the military mail system to get your box to you.
What if I forgot to enter the code at checkout?
Email us immediately. If we haven’t processed the final accounting for the week, we can usually adjust the invoice and refund the 20% difference. Time Sensitive: Don’t wait a month to tell us, though. We need to catch it before the books close for the week.
Do you charge setup fees or artwork fees?
No. We don’t nickel-and-dime you. We digitize your artwork and set up the machines for free on standard orders. You are paying strictly for the physical materials, the machine time, and the labor.
