This chart provides basic guidelines for the amount of lettering available in the specific locations. It also reflects the available space on a 1-line letter patch.

In some cases, more room is available when the lettering is applied directly to the back of the jacket and not on a patch. If more room is required, arching the letters may be a solution.

The purpose of trim on turnouts, helmets and other gear is to provide day/night visibility and quickly ID the firefighters by trim alone or with the visibility of lettering/numerals. While this may seem self-evident, the importance of a turnout’s trim cannot be stressed enough. It is especially critical where visibility is minimal and confusion is maximum with large numbers of personnel from several departments on the fireground. Learn more about Turnout Trim Material

Patented system of abrasion resistant cording protects the thread securing our reflective trim from abrasion. Lasts at least 5 times longer so maintenance costs are lower and your gear is in service more often. Learn more about TRIMTRAX™.
