Floating Single Layer Fabric Patches
Floating Single Layer Fabric Patches are custom sublimated patches designed for high precision and vibrant, full-color reproduction. These patches are crafted using a sublimation printing process, which allows for detailed, rich color designs that are permanently infused into the fabric fibers. The result is a patch with superior clarity and colorfastness, ideal for a wide range of applications.
Made from high-quality fabrics such as SF (Soft Felt), FL (Felt), FA (Fabric A), Stock Twill, SA (Satin), and ST (Soft Twill), these patches offer a combination of durability and flexibility. The floating technique, where the fabric is cut to shape, allows for intricate designs and clean edges, making them perfect for direct sew-on applications or heat press attachment to garments.
These patches are primarily made from fabrics such as SF (Soft Felt), FL (Felt), FA (Fabric A), Stock Twill, SA (Satin), and ST (Soft Twill), offering a variety of textures and finishes that can complement your design’s look and feel.

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 Range: The minimum size for Floating Single Layer Patches is 3”x3”, and the maximum size is 7” x 7” Patches outside this size range may not be feasible with this process.
- Sew-On Compatibility: When using the zigzag stitch or satin border stitch, ensure that the sewing method and fabric type are compatible to prevent damage or loosening over time.
- Heat Press Compatibility: Best suited for heat-press applications on garments that can withstand heat. Not suitable for highly heat-sensitive fabrics.
- Design Detail: While the sublimation process allows for vibrant, detailed designs, extremely fine lines or small text may be challenging to reproduce with high clarity, especially on larger patches.
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.
