Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit my department logo?
You can upload your fire department, EMS, rescue, law enforcement, or public safety logo through our Department Logo Upload page. If we have already prepared your department's design for embroidery, select the existing-design option when ordering.
Is there a fee to set up a new department logo for embroidery?
Yes. New department logos require a one-time $25 embroidery setup fee. Once your design has been prepared and placed on file with Station Thread, you won't need to pay the setup fee again when using the same design on future eligible orders.
Do you keep my department logo on file?
Yes. Once we prepare your department's embroidery design, we keep it on file for future Station Thread orders.
Can I personalize apparel with my name, rank, or title?
Yes. Name, rank, or title embroidery is available on eligible apparel. You can add the Name & Rank Embroidery option when ordering.
Can I add an American flag to the sleeve?
Yes. American flag sleeve embroidery is available as an add-on for eligible apparel.
Do you have a minimum order?
Individual products available through our website can be ordered individually unless the product listing states otherwise.
