The majority of our patches that we sell at Charlie Pickles are our self adhesive sticker patches. We love them because it allows an *instant* customization of a nylon pouch or accessory. Even though we have tried and tested, and found what we consider the best self adhesive patches on the market, stickers are, well - stickers. And if someone really wants to take a patch off, they could.
If you would like a permanent application of your patches, there are a variety of ways to do it.
Ways to permanently Attach your patches

The easiest - and our favourite way is with a special glue. We loved it so much we decided to stock it too at Charlie Pickles because it's just THAT amazing.

Self-Adhesive Patches
This is the way that we attach the majority of our patches in store because it allows an instant customization of a nylon pouch or accessory. Even though we have sourced the best self adhesive patches on the market, stickers are, well - stickers. And if someone really wants to take a patch off, they could.
2You have a patch that is
Heat Press / Iron On
You can use an iron, or heat press for patches that are advertised as iron on. Since materials vary, we cannot guarantee what fabrics an iron on will stick to, but we're sure you can find a super quick answer with the help of google. Once you've determined your fabric is heat safe and you can iron on a patch, place a small towel under your item, and cover your patch with a teflon sheet, and apply pressure to the patch holding the iron / heat press for 20 seconds on high. Let the patch cool to the touch to make sure it has adhered.
If you don't want to use heat, you can also sew the patch on, or, use our super glue. (See point 3)
3Super Glue
In the event that you have stick on patches and they aren't staying put, or your iron-on patch just isn't sticking anymore - we've tested a TON of glues and recommend the E-6000 Plus Glue to put on your patch, and attach to your pouch or apparel.
