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.

Working with the Monterey Company was a fantastic experience. I had an idea for some charms to use for knitting/crochet stitch markers. They turned out better than I was imagining. Their customer service was top-notch. They responded to my questions so quickly. I highly recommend the Monterey Company, and I will be using them again!

I would give this company and product more stars if I could. What more could I ask for? Monterey was phenomenal to work with - start to finish. From the personal and immediate responses to questions, to the excellent design, to the top quality finished product, I felt like my order mattered as much to them as it did to me. I don’t remember the last time I was pleasantly surprised at every turn. Terrific company. (The box for packaging was purchased separately.)
