How do I apply my iron-on badges?
Frequently asked questions are answered below
Q. What materials or garments can I iron my badge on to?
A. It is best to use cotton, cotton blend and polyester fabrics to fix your badge to.
Q. Do I need to prepare the material or garment first?
A. It is a good idea to use a lint roller on the area and iron the section of the garment first to ensure there aren’t any creases in the area where the badge will be applied.
Q. Is the adhesion permanent?
A. Yes, the adhesion is permanent. To ensure the badge stays on for a long time, we recommend washing the garments at a low temperature, no hotter than 40 degrees using a short cycle.
Q. What type of adhesive is the iron-on backing?
A. The technical term for the iron on backing is an “Ethylene Acrylic Acid Copolymer” material (a common resin adhesive). It is heat activated, meaning there is no stickiness or adhesion until heat is applied via a domestic iron or a commercial heat press.
Q. Do you have general instructions or guidance for using an iron to iron-on a badge?
A. Yes:
1. To apply the iron-on badges use a hot iron but only for a short time. We recommend no more than about 30 seconds, take a look and see if you need to apply the iron for a further 5-10 seconds.
2. Apply heat to the back of the badge to activate the adhesive. Usually, you are applying the heat through the garment to access the reverse of the badge.
3. If applying heat to the face of the badge, we recommend using parchment paper to be placed on the badge face to avoid any damage to the badge.
4. Really it is a matter of ironing briefly with a reasonable press down and checking if the adhesion is okay, since the heat of the iron and the garment will affect the exact amount of time it takes.
Q. Do you have instructions for using a heat press to attach badges to garments?
A. Yes. If you are using an industrial heat press the ideal temperature, time and pressure are 0.1-0.4Mpa, 110-140°C, 10-15s > 1.5kgf/cm adhesion.
