Backing Options
Which Backing Fits Your PVC Patch?
Seven ways to attach a patch. The ones marked available can be ordered on PVC patches; how to apply each one is just below.
Sew-On
Stitched straight onto the fabric. The strongest hold, made for heavy use and frequent washing.
Available for PVC patches
Iron-On / Heat Seal
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 PVC patches
Velcro / Hook & Loop
The hook side is sewn on the patch and the loop side goes on your gear, so you can swap patches whenever you like.
Available for PVC patches
Sticky / Peel & Stick
Peel the liner and press on. Good for events and short-term use; it does not hold like stitching.
Not offered for PVC patches
Pin
A pin on the back lets you wear the patch on hats, bags, lanyards and jackets and move it any time.
Available for PVC patches
Magnetic
A two-part magnet holds the patch through thin fabric with no pins or stitching. Keep away from pacemakers.
Available for PVC patches
Butterfly Clutch
A short post on the back goes through the fabric and locks with a butterfly clutch, like a lapel pin.
Available for PVC patches
How PVC Patches Are Applied
Pick the backing on your patch to see the right steps.
123- Stitches The back of the embroidery, no film or glue
- Edge Merrowed border to sew through
- Fabric Plain twill back, nothing to wear off
Sew-on: The most permanent option, and the one that holds up to heavy daily wear.
-
1
Position the patch
Lay it where you want it and check the placement from a step back before you commit.
-
2
Hold it in place
Secure it with pins or a few temporary basting stitches so it cannot shift while you sew.
-
3
Stitch around the edge
Use a needle and thread that matches the patch border, and sew all the way around the edge, passing through the garment fabric.
-
4
Finish the thread
Knot the thread on the inside, trim the ends, and remove the pins.
123- Hook side Stiff hooks grip a loop panel
- Edge Sewn on all the way round
- 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
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.
-
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.
-
3
Press the patch on
Line the patch up with the loop surface and press firmly so the hooks grip.
-
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.
Pin: A removable pin back: wear it, move it, take it off before washing.
- 1
Pick the spot
Choose a firm fabric such as denim, canvas or a cap panel. Very thin fabric can pucker under the weight.
- 2
Open the pin
Open the pin on the back of the patch.
- 3
Push it through
Push the point through the fabric from the inside and back out a little further along.
- 4
Close and check
Close the pin until it locks, then give the patch a gentle tug to check it holds.
Magnetic: Two magnets hold the patch through the fabric with no holes.
- 1
Separate the parts
Pull the backing plate away from the patch.
- 2
Plate inside
Hold the plate inside the garment, right behind the spot you want.
- 3
Patch outside
Line the patch up on the outside; it snaps onto the plate through the fabric.
- 4
Before washing
Take the patch off before washing. Thick fabric weakens the hold, and magnets must be kept away from pacemakers.
Butterfly Clutch: A post and butterfly clutch, the same fastening used on lapel pins.
- 1
Position the patch
Hold the patch in place and check it from a step back.
- 2
Remove the clutch
Squeeze the two wings of the clutch and pull it off the post.
- 3
Post through the fabric
Push the post straight through the fabric from the front.
- 4
Lock it on
Press the clutch back onto the post on the inside until it clicks, then check the patch does not spin.
