How To Make Iron-On Patches

Iron on patches are probably the most popular style of patch to make, mainly because they take less effort to attach! 

Step 1 - Choose between our Custom Iron-On Embroidered Patches or our Custom Embroidered Patches.

Step 2 - Choose your pack size, patch size and the number of colours you wish your patch to have then add to basket. 

Step 3 - Go to the checkout page and fill in your delivery and payment details. 

Step 4 - We will then set you up with your own dedicated project management platform. Here you can upload artwork, drop us messages, ask questions about your patches and oversee your designs to completion.

 

How To Iron-On Patches

Heat the iron to it’s highest cotton setting and place a towel over the patch, this protects the design from any residue that may be on the iron itself which also ensures your patch doesn’t melt! Press the iron down onto the patch for 10-15 seconds, leave to cool and check the edges to see if you can peel it off. If you can, repeat the process again until it doesn’t move.

Once you know how to make your own iron-on patches, the possibilities are endless. Alternatively, why not let us do the hard work for you?
