Iron-On Patches
The fastest route from patch to garment. A heat-activated adhesive layer bonds under a household iron in a couple of minutes — no needle required.
How the bond actually works
The adhesive is a thermoplastic film: heat melts it into the garment's fibres, pressure holds it there while it sets. Done properly on the right fabric, it survives regular washing. Done on the wrong fabric — or rushed — it peels, which is why we include full application instructions with every iron-on order.
- 01Pre-press the garment area flat to drive out moisture.
- 02Position the patch, cover with a pressing cloth or parchment.
- 03Press hard at 150–160°C for 30–45 seconds — no sliding.
- 04Flip the garment and press the reverse for 20 seconds.
- 05Let it cool fully before testing the edge; wait 24h before washing.
