Patches?

[mimosatexas]

I did a search and found people always suggesting the following sources:

http://www.stadriemblems.com
http://www.jianpins.com/

Seemed like from what I read that Jian was the cheapest and Stadri was the "best", but left something to be desired on the ordering experience.  Was hoping for some more recent feedback since most of the threads were 2-3 years old.

I also noticed people mentioning various ways to adhere the patches, from embroidery to heat pressing, and with the heat pressing it seems you could order them with adhesive, apply it yourself, or even use things like hot glue (seriously?)...What do people suggest as the easiest option?  The order I have right now would be going on both hats and nylon jackets, so the adhesive would have to work for both.  If it was done using embroidery on one or the other, would the adhesive backing cause any issues?

Any insight is helpful.  Thanks!

Thanks!  Any advice about the adhesive backing vs sewing them on?

i always get the adhesive as a backup.  Unless the order is way too big and I know we won't use it.

I have been using Jian for years without any problems.....Many US suppliers just use a China factories anyway, so you might as well save 25% to 50% and go direct....

We use a company in South Korea, Tony Labels. Their work is top notch at a very good price.
