Double Layer Fabric Patches
The Double Layer Fabric Patch is a unique and versatile custom patch solution that combines two layers of high-quality fabrics to deliver superior durability and depth to your design. By layering fabrics such as FL (Felt), ST (Soft Twill), SF (Soft Felt), FA (Fabric A), JA (Jacquard), and SA (Satin), we create a patch that not only stands out visually but also offers enhanced texture, durability, and a premium finish.
Accepted Artwork
To ensure optimal print quality, we recommend submitting high-resolution artwork files.
- Vector formats: AI, EPS, or PDF (vector files)
- Accepted raster formats: PNG or JPEG (300 dpi minimum)
- Color Format: CMYK (for accurate color reproduction)
- PMS Color Matching: If color matching is required, please provide the PMS color code.
For the best results, ensure your artwork includes clean lines and well-defined elements, especially when using small text or detailed graphics.
Size
Size:
- Minimum Size: Custom sizes available, with typical sizes starting from 3”x3”
- Maximum Size: 7”x7” (49 sq. Inch): For custom sizes larger than 7” x 7”, please contact us directly for assistance. We’re happy to accommodate your specific needs!
- Recommended for Larger or More Complex Designs: The double-layer construction works especially well for medium to larger-sized patches, where the layering of fabrics enhances both the design’s visual impact and durability.

“The combination of fabrics can be tailored to suit your design’s needs. For example, a Satin top layer offers a smooth, shiny finish, while a Felt or Soft Twill backing provides a sturdy foundation. The flexibility of fabric choices makes it suitable for different design aesthetics, from soft and luxurious to robust and tactile.

BACKING OPTIONS
01.
Heatseal
Ideal for permanent attachment to fabric. Apply using a heat press at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 seconds for a strong, durable bond.
border options
01.
No Border
The patch is precision cut using laser technology, creating a clean, sharp edge without any stitching. This option offers a sleek, modern look with a more subtle, seamless finish.
Limitations
- Artwork Stroke: For clarity, all text and artwork strokes must be at least 0.1” thick for all fabric except Soft Felt (SF) and Flock which must be at least 0.2”. Thin strokes smaller than this may not transfer clearly or may result in imperfect edges.
- Size & Complexity: While the double-layer design adds durability, very small or highly detailed designs may not be as clear on patches smaller than 3”x3”. Larger designs are generally recommended for optimal clarity and visual impact.
- Sublimation Incompatibility: The combination of fabrics may affect the final appearance of certain printed designs, particularly those using sublimation printing, which works best on certain fabric types.
- Fabric Compatibility: Not all fabric combinations are available with every backing type.
- Color Contrast on Dark Fabrics: If using dark-colored fabrics, there may be visible stitching or thread color contrasts that can affect the aesthetic, especially on Satin or Jacquard top layers.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Heat press Application
- Preheat the fabric for 5 seconds to remove wrinkles.
- Set Heat Press to 320°F (160°C), 60-70 psi pressure, and 15-20 seconds time.
- Position the Patch on the fabric, ensuring smooth alignment.
- Apply Heat Press for the set time, applying even pressure.
- Cool for a few seconds, then remove the backing and let the patch cool completely before handling.
- Inspect the patch to ensure a secure bond. Repress if necessary.
