2 LAYER LAYER SILICONE
product description
The 2-Layer Silicone Patch is a premium, custom embellishment solution that blends durability, depth, and style. Crafted from two layers of silicone in contrasting colors, this patch is laser-etched to reveal the bottom layer, creating bold, high-contrast designs with a modern, dimensional look. The result is a sleek, tactile finish ideal for branding that needs to stand out and perform in rugged conditions.
These patches are flexible, waterproof, and long-lasting—perfect for athletic wear, outerwear, uniforms, and gear that faces heavy use. The laser etching process allows for precision detailing while maintaining the patch’s structural integrity.

To achieve the cleanest etching and most accurate results, please submit high-resolution files.
Vector Formats: AI, EPS, PDF

Ensure artwork has clear linework and bold shapes—thin or intricate elements may lose clarity during etching.
Size
- Minimum Size: 1” x 1”
- Maximum size: 14” x14”
Limitations
To ensure the best results with our laser etching process, please note the following:
Minimum Line Thickness: All etched lines and artwork strokes must be at least 0.5 mm (0.02”) thick. Thinner lines may not etch cleanly and can lead to inconsistent results.
Minimum Text Height: For legibility, all text should be at least 2 mm (0.08”) in height.
Design Simplicity: Highly detailed or intricate designs may not transfer accurately. We recommend clean, bold artwork for optimal clarity.
Size Limitations: The typical size range starts from 1.5” x 1.5”. Larger patches allow more space for detailed designs and improve visibility of etched elements.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the fabric for 5 seconds to eliminate moisture.
- Set the heat press to 320°F (160°C) with medium pressure (60–70 psi).
- Remove the plastic backer from the patch.
- Position the patch on the desired area using heat-proof tape.
- Press for 15 seconds on the front side of the fabric.
- Flip the garment and press for another 15 seconds on the reverse side.
- Allow the patch to cool for optimal adhesion.
Leave the garment undisturbed for 24–48 hours for best results.
Sew-On Application Instructions
- To securely attach your patch to the garment, we recommend using one of the following stitch types
Runstitch
- Use a simple, straight stitch along the edges of the patch.
- Ideal for a clean, basic attachment.
Zigzag Stitch
- Use a zigzag stitch along the perimeter of the patch for extra durability and to prevent fraying.
- This stitch provides a bit of flexibility and a stronger hold.
Thread Selection
For the best results, we recommend using Isacord thread due to its durability and smooth finish.
ISACORD Thread Color
Please provide the Isacord thread number you’d like to use for your patch application.

Washing INSTRUCTIONS
To keep your custom patches looking fresh and vibrant, follow these care instructions based on the patch type.
