Precision Backings

Custom Iron On Patches

Iron-on patches are a convenient choice when you want to apply a patch without sewing. The heat-activated backing is applied with a suitable iron or heat press, making it practical for many heat-safe fabrics.

They are commonly used on cotton and denim clothing, jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, hats, and bags. An iron-on patch for jeans is an easy way to personalize denim without sewing.

 

Before choosing an iron-on backing, make sure the fabric can safely handle heat. Delicate, heat-sensitive, coated, or specialty materials may be better suited to another backing.

Maximum Durability

Custom Sew On Patches

When a patch needs secure, long-term attachment, sewing is a dependable option. A sew-on patch backing is secured directly to the item with stitches, so the attachment does not depend on heat-activated adhesive.

 

Custom sew on patches work well for jackets, uniforms, workwear, motorcycle gear, bags, and other frequently used items. They are also a practical choice for fabrics that should not be exposed to the heat required for iron-on application.

 

The stitch placement, border, and edge finish can be considered alongside the patch design to create a clean, secure result.

Made to Stand Out

Custom Velcro Patches

Velcro patches are a practical choice when a patch needs to be removed, replaced, or switched regularly. The Velcro or hook-and-loop backing attaches to a compatible loop surface, allowing the patch to be changed without sewing it on each time.

 

Custom Velcro patches are commonly used on tactical gear, uniforms, bags, hats, name patches, and other interchangeable applications.

 

If the item does not already have a compatible loop surface, one may need to be added before the patch can be attached.

Sew On Patches:

Best for secure, long-term attachment on jackets, uniforms, workwear, and other frequently used items.

Velcro Patches:

Best for patches that need to be removed, replaced, or switched regularly, especially on tactical gear and uniforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can customize the patch size, shape, and backing. Iron-on, sew-on, and Velcro options can be selected based on your fabric and intended use.

Yes. You receive a digital proof before production so you can review the design, colors, and backing choice.

No. Iron-on backing requires a fabric that can safely handle the necessary heat. Delicate, coated, or heat-sensitive materials may be better suited to sew-on or Velcro backing.

Velcro patches need a compatible loop surface to attach properly. If your item does not have one, a loop panel may need to be added before the patch can be used.
