Epaulettes are a practical and professional way to display rank, role, department or qualification as part of a uniform. At Golden Finishes, we manufacture both printed and embroidered epaulettes, with designs customised using text, logos, rank markings and colours.
Whether you need a small batch for a specialist team or a larger run for an organisation, we can manufacture epaulettes to suit your uniform and requirements.
Different Styles of Epaulettes
We manufacture several styles depending on how they need to be worn:
- Turn & Fold Epaulettes – Folded in half and featuring a buttonhole for secure attachment to uniforms with shoulder buttons.
- Slip-On Epaulettes – A simple sleeve-style design that slides over an existing shoulder tab, making them easy to fit, remove and change when required.
- Velcro or Elastic Epaulettes – Designed with Velcro or elastic fastenings at the back, allowing them to fit over an existing shoulder tab or attach directly to the uniform.
All styles can be manufactured to your required shape, size and specification. Choose embroidery for a traditional, durable finish or printing for detailed designs, logos and vibrant colours.
Who Uses Custom Epaulettes?
Epaulettes are used across a wide range of professions and organisations. We regularly manufacture them for the medical and healthcare sector, including paramedics and specialist medical teams, where they provide a clear way to identify roles and qualifications.
They're also widely used by uniformed services such as the police and fire service, where different colours, wording and rank markings can help distinguish roles and responsibilities.
Custom epaulettes are also ideal for training organisations, helping to identify instructors, trainees, assessors and different qualification levels.
Made to Your Requirements
From straightforward embroidered lettering to detailed logos and custom colour combinations, we can work from your existing artwork or help prepare your design for production.
With our in-house embroidery, printing, cutting, sewing and finishing capabilities, we can produce professional epaulettes tailored to your organisation.
