We do not do embroidery.

We take images, get them into a print form, then using high heat and high pressure, we apply them to items for an affordable, and durable, alternative to embroidery. In example, you take a picture of your patch, we take that image and turn it into a print that looks like an embroidered patch and place them on an apparel item of your choice. Our images last a very long time and are a fraction of the cost of an embroidered item.

"Well, my embroidered items are going to last forever so why would I choose your items?" While that is true, your embroidery is probably going to outlast the item it's on, if it's not on velcro, not everyone can afford it. We're here to be the in between, for those who are just beginning their law enforcement career and need a few more shirts to get through the week, the reserves who have to purchase their items out of pocket, those who like to be more comfortable working off duty, or those who just can't seem to stay in one place. We've been there and that's how our business was created.

As always, if you have any questions, or need further customization please email us at support@frontlineattire.com. We can help you design your items, add them to your cart and you can checkout with your preferred payment method. We can also work with net terms, on account, billing towns, etc. just message us to set that up!

Getting us your image

Just snap a picture

While we prefer digital images, or scanned images, you can also snap a picture on your cell and upload it.

Yes, we know you don't want that tree, couch or hand on your shirt. Included in your setup fee is editing out the background for you.

We charge a $10 setup fee per person, not per order, for image editing and storage.

When taking your picture make sure your item is FLAT, has NO SHADOWS, and use natural lighting so there's not a highlight from using flash. We can work with a lot, but shadows are the devil around here as they're difficult to edit out and become prominent in the printing process.

Choose your style

Our Design vs. Customization

Our Design means wording only. You pick the word, the color (all wording is done in vinyl unless a special circumstance arises), then we put it on the front, back, and sleeves. We use the same font across the board, unless requested otherwise. You can email us for additional font options at no additional cost.

All pricing on the site is for our design, in the smallest size available. Pricing will increase for larger sizes, usually 2XL+, and customization.

Customize your item with images for an extra $5 (some items may have a different customization cost, but most items are just $5).

Customization includes both front breasts, (whether image or wording), the sleeves (whether image, wording or both depending on the item), and wording on the back.

Additional customization items are available in the questionnaire at an additional cost. If you need more customization than the questionnaire covers just send us an email.

your images

How they're used

If you take a picture of your actual badge, we will recreate that badge into a digital form, if we're able. If you have a custom badge that cannot be recreated, please make sure you send a good picture of it or get the digital from the company that made it.

If you upload a picture of an embroidered badge or patch, we will use the embroidered image on the shirt. Uploading an embroidered image will only allow you to get traditional customization.

We suggest if you only have an embroidered image and would like an outline design that you pay for a vector service online to get the digital image you need to upload to us.

Customization

Traditional Custom

Traditional Custom is taking the image you've sent us and putting it on the item, after editing of course.

Make your choices in the questionnaire on the item, upload your images and leave the rest to us. This option is included in the customization cost.

We can create mockups upon request, just know they're done by hand and won't represent the exact placement of each word/image.

Customization

Outline Cutom- Color Match

Outline Custom- Color Match is when we take the image of your DIGITAL badge/patch and turn it into an outline form. We will then color match the outline to the wording color option you've chose. This option is a non-reflective outline so if you choose a reflective color for wording, your image outlines will only match in color and not be reflective.

This option is included in the customization cost.

Pictures of embroidered badges/patches will not work with this option.

Customization

Outline Reflective Custom

Outline Reflective Custom is when we take the image of your DIGITAL badge/patch and turn it into a reflective outline form. The reflective outline color will match the wording color you've chosen so be sure to choose a reflective color.

This option has an additional cost as it's not just printed off and requires a lot of additional work. Please know some details may be eliminated with this option if the details are too small, state seals will most likely be eliminated entirely. We will make adjustments to the image as needed, i.e. state seals will lose a lot of details if not all and may need to be blocked out.

Pictures of embroidered badges/patches will not work with this option.
