About this service

Name tapes, the embroidered strips above a uniform's chest pocket, follow strict conventions: fixed sizes, block capitals, and specific color combinations for each branch or uniform type. The lettering must be bold and evenly spaced, and names of different lengths have to fit the same tape. We build name-tape files with consistent, legible block lettering and can create sets for whole teams or units.

How we build it

  • Standard name-tape dimensions, such as 5 x 1 inch tapes
  • Bold block capitals with even spacing that fit names of varying length
  • Color combinations matched to common uniform and camouflage patterns
  • Batch sets for whole teams or units from a list of names
