How to choose the right product

Consider size, backing type, and design detail first. Think about how you will attach the patch, whether it needs to be removable, and the surface you will apply it to.

Quick answer: choose a backing that fits your use—sew-on for permanence, iron-on for convenience, or Velcro for frequent removal. In most cases, pick a size that fits the available space and a design with clear contrast for visibility.
