Iron-On Patch Application & Care Instructions

Application: Place the patch on your desired fabric. Cover it with a thin cloth or parchment paper to protect both the patch and fabric. Set your iron to medium-high heat with no steam. Press firmly over the patch for 20–30 seconds, applying even pressure. If possible, flip the fabric and iron the back side for another 15 seconds to ensure strong adhesion. Allow the patch to cool completely to set the adhesive. Note: Iron quality varies—if the patch doesn’t fully stick, repeat the process or consider sewing around the edges for added durability. Care Instructions: Turn the garment inside out before washing. Use cold water on a gentle cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. For long-lasting results, sewing the patch is recommended.

Sticker Application & Care Instructions

Application: Clean the surface thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or oils, then let it dry completely. Carefully peel off the backing from the vinyl sticker. Align the sticker where you want it, then press it down starting from one edge to prevent air bubbles. Smooth it out with your fingers or a flat edge like a credit card to ensure full contact. Care Instructions: Our stickers are waterproof and weather-resistant, making them perfect for laptops, water bottles, and cars. To prolong sticker life, hand-wash items like water bottles and avoid scrubbing directly over the sticker. For outdoor use, ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for maximum adhesion.
