Description
Custom IR reflective patches combine a textile or nylon base, a reflective logo area and removable hook-and-loop backing for apparel, uniform, bag and outdoor equipment projects.
Logo, color, size and shape can be customized, but the final infrared response should be approved with a physical sample under the buyer’s actual viewing device and application conditions.

Why This Custom IR Reflective Patch Works
The reflective logo creates a clear identification area while the textile base remains suitable for apparel and soft-goods applications. Hook-and-loop backing allows the patch to be removed, replaced or repositioned without permanently sewing each patch to the final item.
The 9 × 3 cm sample provides a practical format for names, short text, callsigns and simple brand marks. Custom dimensions can be developed for different garment panels, bags or equipment areas.
IR performance is not universal. Device wavelength, illumination strength, distance, viewing angle, material batch and surface construction may affect the observed result. A physical sample should therefore be reviewed with the buyer’s actual equipment before bulk production.

Production and Quality Confidence
The project begins with a review of your artwork, size, color, backing, quantity and intended use. A digital layout or sample is then used to check logo readability, edge quality, attachment and visible appearance before bulk production.
For supplier due diligence, buyers can review DOY’s
SGS verification information
and learn more about
our production facility and quality workflow.
SGS verification supports evaluation of supplier and production capabilities. It should not be interpreted as a product-specific certificate for infrared wavelength, viewing distance, wash resistance or compatibility with a particular device.
FAQ About Custom IR Reflective Patches
What is an IR reflective patch?
An IR reflective patch uses a material designed to return a stronger signal under suitable infrared illumination or imaging conditions. The visible appearance and the infrared-viewed appearance may be different.
Is the reflective logo visible in normal daylight?
The logo remains physically visible in normal light, but its color and contrast can differ from the appearance seen under infrared illumination. The exact result depends on the selected material and color combination.
Will this patch work with every night-vision or IR device?
No universal compatibility should be assumed. Results may vary with device wavelength, illumination strength, distance, angle, protective layers and material construction. We recommend testing a physical sample with your actual device before bulk production.
What is the MOQ for custom IR reflective patches?
The displayed configuration starts from 100 pieces. Final MOQ and project value depend on size, artwork complexity, material, color, backing, packaging and production requirements.
Can I customize the logo, size, shape and color?
Yes. Logo, dimensions, shape, base color and reflective area can be reviewed from your artwork. Very small text, narrow gaps or complex details may need adjustment for reliable production.
What backing does this IR patch use?
The displayed sample uses hook-and-loop backing for removable attachment. Please confirm whether you require only the hook side or a matching loop panel as part of the order.
How long does sampling and bulk production take?
The reference sampling time is approximately 3–5 working days, and the reference bulk production time is approximately 5–7 working days after sample and order confirmation. Complex artwork, special materials or large quantities may require additional time.
What artwork should I send for a quotation?
Please send a vector AI, EPS, PDF or SVG file when available. A high-resolution PNG, clear reference image or physical sample can also be reviewed. Include the required size, quantity, colors, backing, application and destination country.
Is the patch washable and suitable for outdoor use?
Suitability depends on the selected reflective material, bonding method, backing, garment construction and washing conditions. Please provide your care requirements and approve a sample or relevant test before making a performance claim.
Are compliance or environmental documents available?
Documentation depends on the exact material, product structure, production batch and certificate scope. A custom IR patch should not be described as certified until the selected materials and order documents have been reviewed.
Can you provide custom packaging and international shipping?
Custom packaging can be reviewed according to quantity and project requirements. Express, air or sea shipping options may be arranged depending on destination, delivery schedule, carton size and order volume.
What should I approve before bulk production?
Approve the artwork, dimensions, colors, logo readability, edge finish, hook-and-loop attachment, normal-light appearance and IR response under your actual viewing device and intended use conditions.
