Custom Patch Options
When creating custom patches, understanding the various backing and design options is essential for selecting the perfect patch for your needs. Below is a detailed overview of the available custom patch options:
Patch Backing Options
We offer a choice of traditional sew-on backing, iron-on, button loops or Velcro. Each backing type has its advantages for specific uses. Our experienced staff can help you decide which type is best for your particular application.

Iron-On Backing
- Simple application with an iron
- Strong bond to fabric
- Quick and easy attachment
Iron-on backing patches feature a heat-activated adhesive, allowing you to attach the patch to fabric using an iron. This method provides a strong bond, making it suitable for both temporary and semi-permanent applications.

Velcro Backing

Other Patch Options

Hot Cut Edge

Metallic threads add a shimmering effect to patches, using threads made of metallic fibers. This option is perfect for creating eye-catching and luxurious designs.
