Custom Security Uniforms, Guard Shirts & Embroidered Patches — Southern California
A security uniform has one job before anything else: make it obvious, from a distance, who is staff. The Printing Needle outfits Southern California security and guard-service companies from our Garden Grove shop — embroidered polos, large SECURITY back prints, hi-vis outerwear and patch work, with your artwork kept on file so new hires get matching gear in days.
The operational problem in this industry is turnover. You hire continuously, so uniform ordering is never one big purchase — it is a steady trickle of two and three-piece orders. That is exactly why no minimum matters here: we keep your logo digitized and your artwork on file, so a two-shirt reorder next month matches the batch from last year. Practically, that means embroidered left-chest logo for identification up close and a large back print for identification across a parking lot, plus hi-vis layers for anyone working outdoors or in traffic.
What We Print for Security Companies & Guard Services
Screen printing, embroidery, DTF and DTG — all in-house in Garden Grove.
Left-chest company logo, the everyday uniform piece.
Large, high-contrast back lettering readable from a distance.
For lot patrol, traffic control and overnight posts.
Company and rank patches, sewn or applied to existing garments.
Overnight and winter posts, logo stitched to match the polos.
Embroidered headwear that completes the uniform look.
Which Method Fits Your Order
We recommend the method that fits the job — not the one that is easiest for us.
The standard for guard polos, outerwear, caps and patches. It survives daily wear and reads as professional rather than temporary.
Best value for large SECURITY back prints across a bigger staff. 24+ pieces improves per-piece pricing, suggested only.
Small reorders and new-hire one-offs in full color with no setup penalty.
One-time setup that turns your logo into a stitch file, then every future reorder is ready to run.

No job too small. No job too big.
We print for brands that sell to Macy's, Ross, TJ Maxx, Fashion Nova and PacSun — and for the schools, teams and restaurants down the street. There is no order minimum. For screen printing we suggest 24 pieces or more because the per-piece price drops, but it is a suggestion, never a requirement.
