About us
Started by pilots. Built by a crew.
What started as squadron patches turned into a shop in Raleigh, North Carolina, run mostly by military and first-responder families. People who know what it means when gear has to look right and hold up.
Badass Swag takes the same standards beyond patches. You design right on the product and see exactly what you’ll get — free. Then a pro on our crew checks your art, we make it on our own machines, and we inspect every piece before it ships. No overseas factory, no middleman, no corporate runaround.
One patch for your flight jacket or a few hundred tumblers for the station — it gets the same attention. We’ve got your six.
The machines
Real equipment. Run by people who know it.
Mimaki UJF-6042 MkII e
UV-LED flatbed printer
Prints CMYK plus white and clear directly onto patches, power banks and tumblers, curing the ink instantly with UV light. The white underbase is what makes full-color designs pop on dark products.
Trotec Speedy 400
CO₂ laser with rotary attachment
Engraves and cuts leatherette patches to shape and wraps engravings a full 360° around tumblers. Laser work is permanent — it can’t peel, crack or fade.
What we stand by
No minimums, ever
One piece or a thousand. Bulk pricing kicks in automatically when you order more.

Every design is reviewed by our production team before anything is printed or engraved.
We’ve got your six
