What different backings can go on my Label?

• PLASTIC: This backing adds stiffness and gives your patch support, allowing it to retain its shape over time. It is still thin enough to sew through. There is no charge for this backing.

  HEATSEAL: Another word for iron-on. Allows you to apply your patch onto a garment using a home iron. If you are planning to wash your garment more than 50-80 times after the patch is applied, it is recommended that the heatseal only be used for pre-placement before sewing, and then followed up with a few tag stitches along the patch to hold it in place longer. NOTE: Heatseal will NOT stick to nylon.

  VELCRO: One (hook) side or both sides are available.

  ADHESIVE: This is a peel and stick backing to hold a patch is place for a single event. Will not hold up to machine washing. If you desire your patch to stay in place permanently, go with the heatseal option, or plastic and sew your patches.

  MAGNETIC: A magnetic strip is placed on the entire back surface, turning your patch into an embroidered magnet.

How many colors may I have in my Woven Labels?

You can view our thread colors. Pantone® color selections, must be in Coated or Uncoated.

What is the smallest lettering can be?

• Without sacrificing quality and legibility, all lettering should be the equivalent of 8 points or larger in a standard word processing program.

What if my design has an excessive amount of detail or small lettering?

• Because you are considering a Woven Patch, this will be less of a concern than it would be if you were ordering an embroidered patch. If you are looking for photographic realism, a Printed Patch may be right for you. Call us for details.
