The backing you choose for your patch is just as important as the design itself. It determines how the patch attaches, how permanent it is, and where it can be used. Here’s a complete breakdown of every option we offer.
Iron-On Backing
The most popular choice for retail and promotional patches. A heat-activated adhesive creates a strong bond with most fabric types in seconds. Can be reinforced with a few stitches for extra permanence.
Sew-On Backing
The most permanent and professional attachment method. Sew-on patches can be attached to virtually any textile and will never peel or lift. Required for items that will be laundered frequently.
Velcro Backing
Hook-and-loop velcro backing is the standard for military, law enforcement, and tactical gear. Allows patches to be swapped between garments quickly. We attach the hook side — the loop side is stitched to your garment.
Adhesive Backing
Peel-and-stick adhesive for temporary applications. Great for events, promotions, and non-fabric surfaces.
