How to Make Custom Canvas Hat Patches with a CO2 Laser #HatPatches

In this video, we break down how to make custom canvas hat patches using leatherette, a CO2 laser cutter, and DTF printing. Zach shows how to combine adhesive-backed canvas with leatherette, heat press the layers together, and laser cut them into custom patch shapes. We also look at why engraving directly onto canvas doesn't always give clean results and how a white DTF transfer or UV printing can create a better-looking design. You'll also see how to align your DTF transfer, apply the finished patch with a Stahls' Hotronix 360 IQ hat press, and create something different from traditional leatherette patches. For print shops and decorators looking to offer new custom hat patch styles, canvas brings a different texture and finish to the table. Just make sure your materials and adhesives are suitable for laser cutting before getting started.
