Durability & Material Compatibility
General industry ranges — actual results depend on garment fabric, care instructions, and artwork.
| Material | Compatibility | Typical Wash Durability |
|---|---|---|
| Embroidered Patches | Excellent | Same durability as direct embroidery |
| Woven Patches | Excellent | Best for very fine detail and small text |
| Leather / Faux-Leather (Laser Engraved) | Excellent | Rugged, premium look for caps and bags |
| Iron-On Backing | Good | Less permanent than sewing — best for lighter-use items |
Sewn patches are the most permanent attachment method; iron-on backing is convenient but can loosen over many wash cycles.
