Backing Options

Which Backing Fits Your Backpack Patch?

Seven ways to attach a patch. The ones marked available can be ordered on backpack patches; how to apply each one is just below.

  • Sew-On

    Permanent

    Stitched straight onto the fabric. The strongest hold, made for heavy use and frequent washing.

    Available for Backpack patches

  • Iron-On / Heat Seal

    PermanentHeat-activated

    A glue film on the back bonds to the fabric under an iron or heat press. Best on cotton and cotton blends.

    Not offered for Backpack patches

  • Velcro / Hook & Loop

    RemovableReusable

    The hook side is sewn on the patch and the loop side goes on your gear, so you can swap patches whenever you like.

    Not offered for Backpack patches

  • Sticky / Peel & Stick

    TemporaryNo tools

    Peel the liner and press on. Good for events and short-term use; it does not hold like stitching.

    Not offered for Backpack patches

  • Pin

    RemovableNo sewing

    A pin on the back lets you wear the patch on hats, bags, lanyards and jackets and move it any time.

    Available for Backpack patches

  • Magnetic

    RemovableNo holes

    A two-part magnet holds the patch through thin fabric with no pins or stitching. Keep away from pacemakers.

    Not offered for Backpack patches

  • Butterfly Clutch

    RemovableLapel style

    A short post on the back goes through the fabric and locks with a butterfly clutch, like a lapel pin.

How Backpack Patches Are Applied

Follow these steps for the backing on your patch.

Back of a patch with velcro backing123
Velcro (hook side) backingThe hook side is sewn on the patch; the soft loop side goes on your garment or bag.
  1. Hook side Stiff hooks grip a loop panel
  2. Edge Sewn on all the way round
  3. Reuse Pull off and press on again

Velcro (hook and loop): Hook-and-loop backing lets you swap a patch between bags, jackets and gear.

Velcro only holds on a loop surface. A plain fabric garment needs a loop panel first.

  1. 1

    Check the receiving surface

    The patch carries the hook side. It needs a matching loop surface, such as the loop panel on tactical gear or a loop panel attached to your garment or bag.

    Velcro (hook and loop) step 1: Check the receiving surface
  2. 2

    Attach the loop panel

    If your item has no loop surface, sew a loop panel in the position you want the patch to sit.

    Velcro (hook and loop) step 2: Attach the loop panel
  3. 3

    Press the patch on

    Line the patch up with the loop surface and press firmly so the hooks grip.

    Velcro (hook and loop) step 3: Press the patch on
  4. 4

    Swap or remove

    Peel it off whenever you like and move it to another item. Keep the hook side free of lint and thread buildup.

    Velcro (hook and loop) step 4: Swap or remove
