How DIPatch iron-on patches work: a precise balance

An iron-on patch is a piece of fabric (often embroidered) that adheres to clothing using heat. At DIPatch, we've taken this technique a step further with an optimized artisanal method. The result: it holds strong without damaging the fabric.

A unique process for our handmade patches 🧪

The operation of DIPatch iron-on patches is based on several technical layers:

• Professional interfacing : it structures and stabilizes the patch before application.
• Fine embroidery : made by hand with quality thread, it gives relief.
• Custom iron-on : our artisanal formula, tested in the workshop, guarantees optimal adhesion.

We won't reveal our secret recipe, but each patch follows a precise protocol, from cutting to final coating 🔒

Why are DIPatch patches so effective? 🤔

Thanks to their composition, our patches can be applied at 160–180°C for 20 to 30 seconds on most natural textiles (cotton, denim, etc.). You can use a simple iron or a hand press.

Once applied, they last, even after several washes at 30°C. The secret is the perfect combination of glue, fabric, and finish. That's how DIPatch iron-on patches work 👌
