🧵 Leatherette Patch Application Instructions
These patches are made to last — just follow the steps below to get a clean, permanent bond.
🔥 Step-by-Step Application
- 1. Pre-press the garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and smooth the surface.
- 2. Position the patch exactly where you want it. Once it's on, it’s not moving.
- 3. Press at 290ºF for 30 seconds with medium pressure.
- 4. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before touching, flexing, or packaging. This allows the adhesive to fully cure.
💡 Pro Tips
- These are not machine washable — hand wash only for best results.
- Great for hats, bags, and apparel — but always test first with heat-sensitive materials.
🎨 Artwork Preparation Instructions
To get clean, sharp leatherette patches, your artwork needs to be set up right from the start. Here's how to prep your file:
✅ File Type
We only accept vector files — send your design as an AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG. No JPEGs, PNGs, or screenshots. If it’s not vector, it’s not usable.
✅ Design Style
Your design should be simple, bold, and black — no colour, no gradients, no fine details. Think clean lines, solid shapes, and high contrast.
✅ Single Colour, Single Layer
All artwork should be black only. The black areas are what will be engraved or pressed into the patch — white space will be untouched. No multiple layers, no transparency, no shading.
✅ Size & Scaling
Design your artwork at actual size or larger. Vector files scale cleanly, but starting with the right dimensions avoids issues with placement or proportion.
