Custom Patch Options

Sew-on backing is our traditional patch option without any stiff backing material. These flexible patches are designed to be permanently attached by sewing them onto garments or other fabrics. Unlike stiffer options, sew-on patches conform perfectly to the fabric, maintaining garment comfort and flexibility. They're ideal for all applications, especially curved surfaces and frequently worn items like uniforms, jackets, and bags.

Adhesive or tape backing patches come with a sticky layer on the back, making them easy to attach without sewing. This option is perfect for temporary applications where you need the patch to stay in place for a short period. Ideal for quick application to outfits or costumes, it allows for easy removal, leaving no residue behind.

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.
