Sew-on
A route for patches intended to be stitched onto a garment or product. Confirm the stitch route, edge and installation access with the garment maker.
Quality & Delivery
Backing & Attachment Options
Choose an attachment route for the fabric, installation method and care conditions — then confirm it for your project.
Backing is part of the specification, not a universal performance guarantee. The patch process, fabric, adhesive, installation and care conditions all need to work together.
Heat Seal
A heat-activated adhesive route. The actual fabric, heat tolerance, adhesive and application conditions must be checked; it is not automatically suitable for every garment.
Hook & Loop
A route for removable patches. Confirm which mating pieces are required, how the loop side is attached and the intended use.
Self-Adhesive
A route for adhesive attachment where appropriate. Surface, use duration, handling and care conditions need confirmation; do not assume it replaces sewing for a washable garment.
Before choosing
| Product and fabric | Tell us what the patch will be attached to and whether the fabric has a coating or finish. |
|---|---|
| Installation | Confirm available sewing or heat-application equipment and who will attach the patch. |
| Use and care | Explain whether the patch must be removable, exposed outdoors or washed with the product. |
| Approval | Confirm the backing and installation requirements with the artwork and final specification. |
Options vary by patch process and construction. Unless separately agreed, we supply finished, separate patches; the brand or garment maker handles installation.
Compare patch processes or send your fabric and attachment requirements for project-specific evaluation.
