Hook or loop: which side you get
Hook and loop has two halves. The hook side is the stiff, scratchy side, and the loop side is the soft, fuzzy side. Our Velcro patches come with the hook side sewn to the back, because tactical gear, plate carriers, packs, caps and uniforms carry loop panels for patches to stick to.
If your jacket or bag has no loop panel, you need a piece of loop fabric sewn on first. Ask us about loop pieces when you order and we will quote them with your patches.
Sizes for plate carriers, hats and bags
| Where it goes | Common patch size |
|---|---|
| Plate carrier front loop panel | 3 x 2 in, 4 x 3 in, or a name tape |
| Name or call sign tape | About 4 to 5 x 1 in |
| Flag patch | About 3.5 x 2 in |
| Tactical cap front | 2 to 3 in wide, up to 2 in tall |
| Backpack or range bag panel | 3 x 2 in to 4 x 3 in |
| Shoulder or sleeve loop panel | About 3 x 3.5 in |
Measure your loop panel before you order and leave a little loop showing around the patch. Our printable patch size chart has actual-size rectangles you can hold against your gear.
PVC or embroidered for Velcro patches
PVC is the most popular choice for Velcro patches. It is waterproof, wipes clean and keeps its shape after being pulled off and pressed on hundreds of times, so it suits plate carriers, range bags and outdoor gear. Embroidered Velcro patches give the classic stitched look for unit, team and uniform patches. For full-color art, choose UV + PVC.
Military and mil-spec hook and loop
Our standard hook backing is a durable, sewn-on hook tape that grips the loop panels used on uniforms, plate carriers and tactical gear. If your unit or contract requires tape certified to a particular military or government specification, tell us before you order and we will confirm what we can supply on your quote. We do not claim certification we cannot document.
Need subdued colors such as tan, olive, coyote or black? They cost the same as any other colors.
Caring for Velcro patches
Press the patch on firmly so the hook fully engages the loop. Before washing a uniform, close or cover the hook side so it does not snag other clothes. Clean PVC patches with water and a soft brush.
