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.

Iron-on backing is the fastest way to apply a custom patch: a layer of heat-activated polyamide glue that bonds in seconds. Here is how it compares with other backing options so you can pick the right one.
Logo patches for employee workwear, branded merch and retail drops.
Team crests, jersey emblems and championship patches.
Mascots, varsity jackets, student clubs and Greek life.
Troop numbers, merit badges, camp programs and achievement patches.
Vests, jackets, rockers and name tags with heavy stitching.
Police, fire, EMS and security uniforms with commercial heat seal backing.
Custom iron-on designs for hoodies, denim, streetwear and tote bags.
Charity runs, festivals, corporate anniversaries and family reunions.
🧥 Jackets & Vests: Place a 3"–4" patch on the left chest or sleeve. For large back patches, center the patch 2" below the collar seam and apply with high pressure.
🧢 Hats & Caps: 2"–2.5" patches fit best on trucker hats and beanies. Use a cap heat press or the curved tip of an iron with firm pressure.
👖 Jeans & Pants: Iron onto thighs, back pockets or shins. Turn pants inside-out for a second 20-second press from the inside.
🎒 Backpacks & Tote Bags: Canvas and polyester backpacks hold iron-on patches extremely well. Place cardboard inside the bag pocket to create a firm, flat pressing surface.
Get My Free Digital ProofPatch size is measured in inches as the average of width and height. Pick a standard shape — circle, square, rectangle, oval or shield — or a custom shape cut to the outline of your design.
✦ Small custom iron on patches (under 2"): best as woven or printed patches so tiny text stays sharp and readable.
✦ 3 inch custom iron on patches: a go-to size for chest logos, hat fronts and round patches.
✦ Large custom iron on patches and back patches: dense embroidery with a full heat seal layer; we recommend a few perimeter stitches for heavy wash items.
✦ Border options: merrowed edge (a thick, durable overlocked border), satin stitch border, or laser-cut hot border for intricate custom silhouettes.

"Ordered 75 back patches for our club vest rollout. The heat seal backing held strong on heavy denim with zero lifting after 6 months of daily riding. Merrowed edge was clean and crisp."
"We needed 500 woven iron-on labels for our streetwear drop. The text was under 2mm and came out razor sharp. Heat press applied them in 15 seconds flat with zero peeling."
"No minimum order allowed us to get 12 replacement department patches without paying a huge setup penalty. Proof was ready next morning and shipping was remarkably fast."
"Our scout troop loved their custom achievement badges. The iron-on application was so easy that the kids were able to adhere them to their sashes with adult supervision."
We use commercial polyamide adhesive sheets on every iron on patch we manufacture. When heated to 300°F–320°F, this copolymer melts and forms an interlocking mechanical bond with the yarns of your fabric that resists regular machine washing and outdoor elements.
Every order is backed by our 100% satisfaction promise: if your digital proof doesn't match what you envisioned, we will revise it for free until you approve. If your patches fail our stringent quality standards, we remake them at no cost.
Custom iron on patches have a layer of dry, heat-activated polyamide adhesive on the reverse. When pressed with an iron (30–45s) or a heat press (15–20s at 300–320°F), the adhesive melts into the fabric fibers and solidifies as it cools to form a permanent bond.
Pre-heat your garment for 5 seconds. Place the patch with the glue side down. Cover with parchment paper or a pressing cloth. Apply firm, steady pressure with an iron on cotton setting (no steam) for 30–45 seconds. Flip the garment and press from the back for 20 seconds. Allow to cool completely.
Yes! When correctly bonded to cotton, denim, twill or polyester blends, our commercial-grade backing withstands repeated machine wash cycles. For optimal longevity, turn the garment inside out and wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid high heat in the dryer.
Absolutely. All our iron-on patches feature a sturdy stitched merrow or hot-cut border. You can sew around the edges by hand or machine for extra security on workwear or heavy biker vests.
Natural and sturdy woven fabrics like 100% cotton, denim, canvas, twill, fleece and poly-cotton blends are best. Avoid nylon, leather, waterproof rainwear, rayon, or delicate silk that can melt or scorch under direct heat.
There is no minimum order! You can order just 1 single iron-on patch for a personalized project or sample, or 10,000+ patches for wholesale rollouts and corporate merchandise.
Digital proofs are prepared and emailed within 24 hours. Once you approve your proof, production typically takes 7 to 10 business days, followed by fast, tracked delivery across the United States.
Embroidered patches use thicker threads stitched into twill for a raised, textured, classic three-dimensional look. Woven patches use finer, tighter threads woven together, resulting in a flat, smooth surface capable of capturing fine text and intricate detail.
Yes. Dye sublimation allows photorealistic imagery, gradients, and intricate full-color artwork to be infused directly into the fabric surface with no color limits.
Yes! We can create classic circles, squares, shields, rectangles and ovals, as well as 100% custom die-cut contours shaped to the exact outline of your logo or mascot.
We offer traditional merrowed borders (a heavy, rounded overlocked edge ideal for regular shapes) and laser/hot-cut borders (a clean, sharp edge following complex custom silhouettes).
Standard patch sizing is calculated by adding width + height and dividing by 2: (Width + Height) / 2 = Patch Size. For example, a 3.5" wide by 2.5" high patch is a 3.0" size patch.
The commercial adhesive backing provides structural support and durability without making the patch uncomfortably rigid, ensuring it conforms naturally to the contours of jackets and apparel.
Yes! We provide a full 100% free digital proof in 24 hours. You can request color adjustments, sizing modifications, or tweaks until you are completely satisfied before production begins.
Yes. Trucker caps and beanies work well. Using a curved hat heat press produces the most even bond; with a household iron, use the nose of the iron and press firmly onto the hat crown supported by a rolled towel.
We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before the first wash to allow the polyamide copolymer adhesive to cure and settle completely into the fibers.
