Precision Backings

Iron-On Backing

Iron-on backing is one of the most popular choices for custom patches. A heat-activated adhesive is applied to the back of the patch, allowing it to bond directly to fabric using a heat press or household iron. This option is ideal for jackets, jeans, bags, and apparel where quick installation is important. It provides a clean appearance and eliminates the need for sewing while still delivering reliable performance for everyday use.

Maximum Durability

Sew-On Backing

Sew-on backing remains the industry standard for long-term durability. The patch is permanently attached through stitching, creating the strongest hold available. This backing is recommended for uniforms, workwear, motorcycle vests, sports apparel, and garments that experience frequent washing or heavy use.
