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 325°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 20 seconds at 325°F with 70-80 PSI or hard pressure.

FAQ
Our faux custom leather patches are unique embellishments created by laser technology to etch intricate designs, patterns, or text onto authentic leather pieces. This type of custom patch combines the timeless elegance of leather with precision laser engraving, resulting in a distinctive and visually appealing product.
Faux leather patches are made of synthetic materials that can mimic the look and feel of genuine leather. These are generally used on apparel or accessories like jeans, jackets, and backpacks. Also known as vegan leather, this patch type is made from polyurethrane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which are plastic-based materials. These materials make these patches both animal-friendly and budget-friendly.
Our faux leather patches can be used purely for aesthetic reasons, or they can be used as a functional accessory, such as reinforcing part of a garment that receives a lot of excessive wear or to promote a brand or event. Faux leather patches are both cruelty-free and popular due to their ease of maintenance and extensive durability.
Laser etching on faux leather patches involves the use of high-powered laser machines. A digital design or pattern is programmed into the laser, which then precisely removes the top layer of the leather, leaving behind the etched design. This process allows for incredible detail and precision, as the laser can create fine lines and intricate artwork on the leather surface.
- Customization: These patches can be customized with various designs, logos, or text, offering a wide range of possibilities for personalization.
- Durability: Genuine leather is naturally durable, ensuring the patches will withstand wear and tear over time.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Laser etching provides a distinct and eye-catching appearance, showcasing intricate details and sharp contrasts.
- Texture: The laser etching process can alter the texture of the leather, adding depth and tactile interest to the patches.
- High-Quality: Laser etching ensures consistent and high-quality results, making each patch a work of art.
Custom leather patches have an array of applications including:
- Apparel: These patches are often used in high-end fashion, such as on leather jackets, jeans, and handbags, to add a touch of luxury.
- Branding: Businesses and brands use laser-etched leather patches to showcase their logos on products like wallets, belts, and shoes.
- Accessories: Leather patches are incorporated into accessories like hats, backpacks, and wallets to enhance their visual appeal.
- Gifts and Souvenirs: Personalized leather patches make for excellent gifts or souvenirs, often featuring names, dates, or special messages.
Yes, they are! We take durability and resistance to wear and tear very seriously across our entire product range, and our faux leather patches are easily one of the most timeless and durable options within our collection. It is important, however, to make sure that you are looking after the patch and keep it clean and dry as much as possible to ensure longevity.
As with any of our patches, excessive wear can cause the patch to crack or peel; however, proper application can help prevent this. Care and maintenance of your patches are also important to help ensure that they last a long time. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the material to dry out, as well as high levels of humidity, which can make the patch more brittle. In addition, using harsh chemicals or inappropriate cleaning methods can cause damage to the patch. Make sure to look after your faux leather patches to prevent this from happening.
Our custom leather patches are typically applied via heat press. The temperature and pressure required to attach leather patches will vary depending on the type of garment that you are pressing onto.
