Our IR flags are precision-built in-house at PatchPanel, using SOLAS-compliant reflective materials and proprietary coatings that reflect only infrared light. That means they stay visually subdued under normal light while shining bright through night-vision and thermal optics — exactly what you want when signature management matters.
Every flag is cut, printed, and sealed on our own equipment to guarantee unmatched quality, durability, and consistency. We control every step of production — from calibration to coating — so every patch meets the same military-grade standard trusted by professionals worldwide.
Designed for military, law enforcement, and tactical enthusiasts, these IR flags deliver reliable performance in the harshest conditions. Whether on deployment, training, or field operations, your identification remains visible only when it should be.
History
California
The flag of California, known as the Bear Flag, was born out of rebellion and symbolism during a brief and chaotic chapter of the state’s history. It first appeared in 1846 during the Bear Flag Revolt, when a group of American settlers in Mexican-controlled California declared the region an independent republic. The flag they raised featured a lone star, a grizzly bear, and the words “California Republic.” The star was inspired by Texas’s lone star—an emblem of independence—while the bear represented both strength and the untamed wilderness of the West. Though the rebellion lasted only weeks before U.S. forces took control, the design endured as a proud emblem of California’s frontier spirit. The modern flag, adopted in 1911, preserves this mix of defiance and identity—a rugged homage to a short-lived republic that left a lasting mark.

Pro IR is a must when conspicuity is required. With a matte black finish, the material offers no reflection unless viewed under illuminated Infrared. It will not reflect from light sources like headlights or flashlights
Our prismatic reflective materials meet stringent standards required by both land and marine transportation industries. With very minimal light, colours appear clearly, and vibrantly at long distances, much like the reflectors on emergency vehicles, and road signs. This material will also reflect infrared light spectrums, commonly used in aerial imaging systems. This is the best choice to keep you safe where visibility is of the upmost importance.
Our extremely potent glow in the dark material can glow for up to 10 hours on a 10 minute charge in sunlight. This material appears white when not glowing, or in daylight, and appears green when glowing in the dark.
