Pressing Instructions
Click here to watch our step-by-step patch pressing tutorials.
To ensure your patch looks professionally pressed every time, follow these four simple steps.
- Position Your Patch: Being that your patch will be pressed facing down, touching the bottom plate, you will first need to secure the patch to your garment with Thermal Tape (heat resistant tape) to ensure it stays in its desired location when being placed on your heat press.
- Load Garment Onto Heat Press face down: Now that your patch is taped in place, flip the garment over and place onto the heat press so the patch is facing downwards and touching the lower plate. This makes it easier to melt the low-melt glue on the back of the patch so that the patch will adhere to your garment. The goal is to melt the low-melt glue on the back of the patch, not the visible portion of the patch you’ll see when it’s adhered to the garment.
- Press: After laying the garment with the patch face down, lay a Protective Guard Sheet over it to protect your garment from the iron, then press for 20 seconds at 360°F with 70-80 PSI or hard pressure. After pressing, remove the garment from the press and allow it to cool for at least 30 seconds before removing the thermal tape. This allows the melted glue to solidify, thereby bonding it to your garment.
- For Thicker Fabrics (Hoodies, Jackets, etc.): If after following these instructions the patch isn’t adhering to your garment, it could be because the garment you’re using is made of thick material, such as a hoodie, jacket, etc. If this is the case, tape your patch to the garment and flip the garment inside out. Then, lay the garment onto the heat press so that the back of the patch is facing up. Lay a piece of parchment paper over the garment and press for 25 seconds at 325°F with 70-80 PSI or hard pressure.

FAQ
Woven patches are decorative embellishments made by weaving threads together to create intricate designs on a fabric base. These patches offer a unique texture and appearance compared to embroidered or laser-etched patches, making them a distinctive choice for customization and personalization.
Woven patches are decorative embellishments made by weaving threads together to create intricate designs on a fabric base. These patches offer a unique texture and appearance compared to embroidered or laser-etched patches, making them a distinctive choice for customization and personalization.
Unlike embroidered patches, which are made by stitching designs onto a piece of fabric, woven patches are designed to be directly woven into the fabric itself, making them a part of the material. This allows for greater detail and a higher resolution in designs as the threads can be woven finely. The texture of woven patches is also typically much smoother and flatter due to a tighter and finer weave.
- Apparel: Woven patches are commonly used on clothing, uniforms, and accessories like caps and bags to display logos, affiliations, or artwork.
- Branding: Businesses use woven patches to promote their brand on products such as jackets, polo shirts, or hats.
- Sports and Teams: Our custom woven patches are a popular choice for sports teams and fans to represent team spirit or commemorate achievements.
- Military and Scouts: These patches are often used to indicate rank, accomplishments, or membership in organizations like the Boy Scouts.
Woven patches are generally thinner than other types of patches, which helps them be more flexible. This means that they can be easier to attach to a variety of surfaces, particularly when using a heat press as recommended.
Yes, you can! We recommend ensuring that you wash garments at a cold temperature with mild detergent to avoid any harsh chemicals or hot water damaging the patch or the integrity of the application. Follow the washing instructions of the garment but make sure to consider how you have applied your patch. If you have heat pressed, then this is machine washable. If you have chosen the peel & stick backing, then this is designed for one time use and is not machine washable.
- Fine Detail: Woven patches can reproduce intricate details and small text accurately due to their weaving process.
- Durability: These patches are long-lasting and can withstand wear, making them suitable for high-activity applications.
- Lightweight: Our custom woven patches are thin and lightweight, making them ideal for adhering to garments without adding bulk.
- Versatility: They can be customized with various colors and designs to match specific branding or personal preferences.
- Texture: The woven texture adds visual and tactile interest to the patches.
Our custom woven patches can be heat applied using a heat press (most popular), or can have a peel & stick backing for ease.
The heat and pressure required to apply your woven patch will vary depending on the type of garment you are pressing onto. View our pressing instructions for woven patches for more details.
