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.

People always ask me where my pins are made and I tell them right here in Oregon. Badass pins and quick responses all in English. I’ve dealt with making pins over seas and it’s a struggle communicating and the time difference does not help.
