Frequently Asked Questions

Are hook and loop patches the same as Velcro?

Velcro is a brand that produces hook and loop backing for patches. 

A hook and loop patch has a special type of backing that allows you to easily adhere to different surfaces. Hook-and-loop is similar to other name brand options that adhere to the patch, you need two different attachment sides. One side has tiny hooks, while the other has small loops to which the hooks attach.

Yes! As long as your patch contains both the hook and loop fasteners. You can sew the loop portion (or soft side) to the item or piece of clothing. The hook backing (rough side) will then attach to the loop portion. You can heat press the loop backing to your item as well if your loop system includes iron-on backing.

How does a hook-and-loop patch work?

Hook and loop patches have two components: a rough and soft side. The rough side or velcro hook side grabs the soft side or loop side, creating a secure attachment. 

Hook and Loop patches are a type of backing that contains rough and soft sides that, when pressed together, create a secure bond. But can easily be detached as needed. They are commonly called custom velcro patches as well. For a deeper dive, read our blog What is Hook Backing for patches.

Everything about our T-shirt order from the Monterey Company was OUTSTANDING. If your order happens to be small (as ours was), don't worry; they will treat you like you're one of their top customers. The order process was smooth and user-friendly from beginning to end; the communication was frequent and clear; and the quality of the final product was excellent (and captured more detail than we had imagined). Additionally, the T-shirt material was soft and durable - very top notch! And most of all, their suggestions for improving on our original artwork were perfect and added nice touches to our original ideas. Not to mention their pricing options - VERY reasonable! James and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. We will gladly use them again in the future!

We had what is probably considered a smaller order since we are not a company, but we had t-shirts made for an event. The entire process from beginning to end was thorough, professional, and there was great attention to detail so we would get EXACTLY what we wanted at a really excellent price. The quality of the tshirts was excellent. I would not hesitate to use Monterey Company again. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful. Thank you!

I just wanted to take a moment to share a few things about a company that I have been working with for roughly 6 years. My main contact is Josh Knowles and he is AMAZING. Monterey is professional, has quality products and is very easy to work with. Their customer service is 2nd to none and I am sure we will continue to have them produce our patches for many years to come!
