Large custom iron on patches in full back-patch sizes, with dense embroidery and a wide heat seal backing, built to make an impact on denim jackets, vests and hoodies.
✦ Prep and Position — Pre-heat the garment for 5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. Place the patch adhesive side down and cover it with a pressing cloth, parchment paper or a Teflon sheet.
✦ Press with Heat — Household iron: cotton setting, no steam, firm pressure for 30–45 seconds, then flip and press from the inside for 20–30 seconds. Heat press: about 300–320°F, medium-firm pressure, 15–20 seconds.
✦ Cool and Check — Let the patch cool completely before you touch it; the thermoplastic adhesive bonds as it cools. If an edge lifts, re-press for 10 seconds. Wait 24 hours before the first wash.

A properly applied custom iron on patch lasts for years of normal wear and dozens of washes. Our thread is colorfast and our printed patches are fade-resistant; follow these steps to prevent peeling or lifting edges.
✦ Wash smart — Turn the garment inside out and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
✦ Dry low — Air dry or tumble dry low; high dryer heat can soften the adhesive.
✦ Dry clean friendly — Patches can be dry cleaned; tell your cleaner not to steam-press directly on the patch.
✦ Reinforce for heavy use — For uniforms, workwear and kids' clothes, add a few stitches through the merrow border for a permanent hold.
✦ Fix a lifting edge — Re-press for 10–15 seconds with a pressing cloth, then let it cool flat.

"Embroidered iron on patches for our motorcycle club jackets — didn't lift after 20+ washes. Arrived 3 days ahead of time."
— Mark T., Road Captain, Iron Horse MC"Custom printed and embroidered iron on patches for our high school soccer team uniforms. Still glued tight after the entire season."
— Coach Dan R., Westside High"Woven iron on patches for our company work shirts. Tiny logo text is crisp and the heat seal holds up through industrial wash cycles."
— Sarah L., Operations, TechFleet LogisticsPlace the patch adhesive side down, cover it with a pressing cloth, and press with a hot iron on the cotton setting (no steam) for 30–45 seconds. Flip the garment and press from the inside for another 20–30 seconds, then let it cool completely before handling.
Use the cotton setting on a household iron, roughly 350–400°F, with steam turned off. On a heat press, set about 300–320°F. Lower the heat for polyester blends and always test on a hidden area of heat-sensitive fabric first.
Press for 30–45 seconds from the front with a household iron, then 20–30 seconds from the back. With a heat press, 15–20 seconds at medium-firm pressure is enough. Thick embroidered or large back patches may need a few extra seconds.
Yes. A custom iron on patch with a quality polyamide heat seal backing stays on through repeated washing when applied correctly. Wait 24 hours before the first wash, wash inside out in cold water and air dry or tumble dry low.
Well-applied iron on patches last for years of regular wear. The embroidery itself outlasts most garments; the adhesive is the weak point under high heat. For daily-wash uniforms or kids' clothing, add a few stitches around the merrow border for permanent hold.
Yes, and a heat press gives the strongest bond because it applies even heat and pressure. Use about 300–320°F, medium-firm pressure and 15–20 seconds, with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper over the patch. Hat presses work for caps.
Iron on patches work best on cotton, denim, canvas, twill, fleece and polyester-cotton blends. These fabrics handle the heat the adhesive needs. Pure polyester works at lower heat with a pressing cloth; nylon generally does not.
No, it isn't recommended. Leather can scorch and nylon can melt at the heat needed to activate the adhesive. For leather jackets, rain jackets and nylon backpacks, order sew-on or hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing instead.
Choose iron-on for speed and easy DIY application on cotton, denim and hats. Choose sew-on for leather, nylon, heavy-duty uniforms or patches that must never move. Many customers do both: iron on to position the patch, then stitch the border.
Yes. The heat seal backing is thin enough to sew through, and stitching around the merrow edge makes an iron on patch permanent. Iron it on first to hold it in place, then sew by hand or machine.
Use enough heat, pressure and time, and let the patch cool fully before moving it. Wash inside out in cold water and avoid high dryer heat. If an edge lifts, re-press for 10–15 seconds or add a few stitches at the corners.
There is no minimum order. You can order a single custom iron on patch or thousands for a bulk run. Larger quantities lower the price per patch, so bulk and wholesale orders get the best rate.
