| Pressure Adhesive patches are like embroidered stickers. Just peel of the backing and stick onto a clean surface for a secure (non-permanent) hold. You can peel off the patch from a garment and use on another garment up to 4 or 5 times. Pressure Adhesive patches are popular for special events and promotional items. You can sew on a Pressure Adhesive patch to get a permanent hold. |

Heat Seal backing allows a patch to be ironed on to a garment. Heat Seal is a quick and easy way to get a secure, permanent hold with precise positioning. For those that don’t have time to sew on patches, Heat Seal is a great alternative. You can take heat Seal patches to a dry cleaner for professional heat pressing.

| Even with the development of adhesives that make patch application easier, sewing is still the traditional and most widely used method of patch application. Sewing allows for a secure hold and can be permanent with the option of removal. A sturdy patch can be removed and sewn onto other garments many times. |
 |
| You can also get velcro put onto the back of the patch so that it can be applied and taken off as many times as you like. |
