How to Use the Patch
The patch can be attached to many fabric surfaces using an iron-on method or by sewing. For best results, follow these general steps:
Iron-On Application Instructions
- Set a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off the steam function.
- Place the garment or item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch with the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Apply firm, even pressure with the heated iron over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds.
- Allow the area to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out.
- Press the back side of the fabric where the patch is attached for another 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Sew-On Reinforcement (Optional but Recommended)
- After ironing, use a needle and strong thread or a sewing machine to stitch around the border of the patch.
- Use small, even stitches along the edge to secure the patch firmly, especially for items that will be washed frequently or exposed to activity.
- Sewing alone, without ironing, is also possible on fabrics that are not compatible with heat.
Compatible Surfaces
- Denim jackets and vests.
- Cotton or cotton-blend shirts, hoodies, and sweatshirts.
- Canvas backpacks, tote bags, and messenger bags.
- Hats, caps, and beanies made of suitable fabrics.
- Some tactical gear, vests, and outerwear, where heat and stitching are appropriate.
Always check the care label of the garment or item before applying heat to ensure fabric compatibility.

Care and Maintenance
