Stick-On Leatherette Patches

🧲 Stick-On Leatherette Patch Application Instructions

These patches come with a pressure-sensitive adhesive — no heat press required. Just peel, stick, and press into place.

🛠️ How to Apply

• 1. Clean the surface. Use rubbing alcohol or a lint-free cloth to remove dust, oil, or debris. Let it fully dry.
• 2. Peel the backing. Carefully remove the liner to expose the adhesive — avoid touching the sticky side.
• 3. Stick it down. Place the patch exactly where you want it and press firmly for 5–10 seconds to bond.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Designed for smooth, hard surfaces like drinkware, notebooks, folders, cases, and more.
• Not dishwasher safe — hand wash only if applying to drinkware.
• Not recommended for fabrics, flexible surfaces, or high-friction areas.
• Once applied, they’re not repositionable — plan your placement before sticking.

🎨 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.
