A. NO! Fold the ends under, this gives finished edges that won't fray. The placement for the name tape is above the pocket, edge to edge and centered.

A.
Q. Where do I put a 3 inch name tape on my Gore-Tex Jacket?

Q. Are Air Force OCP tapes the same as Army tapes?
A. No, the Air Force OCP tapes have brown lettering and are made on the 3 color OCP. The Army is made on 7 color OCP with black thread.
Q. Your 1-800-NAME TAPE phone number has too many letters in it and it doesn't work!
A. If you dial correctly, it should work. We test the number daily. The last "E" can be omitted, however, it will start to ring anyway, even if you dial more numbers than needed. Also, if you dial 1800 NAME TAG, you reach another company that make plastic signs, etc., but not military items. We thank them for their patience, they get several of our calls.
If you are calling on a cell phone, it works best when you stop at P. So, dial 1-800-NAME TAP.
