A pin-back patch is a normal fabric patch with pin hardware fitted to the back. It is worth being clear about that, because people arrive on this page looking for metal pins and those are a different product entirely. Here you get the texture and scale of a patch, in whatever construction you choose, with a fitting that lets it go on and come off in seconds.

The pin passes through the fabric, so it leaves a small hole. On a work shirt, a bag, a jacket or a lanyard that does not matter at all. On tailoring or fine fabric it does, and a magnetic version is the better answer there. The other thing the pin cares about is weight and shape: a heavy or long patch pivots around a single fitting, so hardware placement follows the patch rather than sitting in a default spot.

Because it comes off so easily, this backing suits anything worn occasionally or swapped often, and anything that is collected rather than worn. It also works on things that are not garments at all, which most backings do not. Send the artwork and the finished size, and tell us what it is going on, and the proof will show the construction, the size and where the hardware sits.

How It Compares

vs. Magnetic patches

Magnets leave no hole at all, which makes them the right choice for tailoring, fine fabric and clothing people own themselves. Pins are cheaper, grip regardless of fabric thickness and hold heavier patches without sliding. On a work shirt or a bag the hole is irrelevant and the pin wins on cost and security. On a wool blazer the magnet wins outright.

Pins for durable garments, bags and heavier patches. Magnets for tailoring and unmarked fabric.

vs. A butterfly clutch fitting

A clutch is one style of pin fitting rather than a separate product. Different fittings trade security against convenience: some hold more firmly and take longer to remove, others come off with a thumb. The right one depends on the weight and shape of the patch and on how often it is taken off, so we confirm the fitting at order time rather than defaulting to one.

Choose the fitting by the patch weight and how often it comes off.

vs. Sew-on patches

Sewing is permanent and pin hardware exists to avoid that. If the patch belongs on one garment forever, stitching is more secure, survives washing and never catches on anything. If the patch moves between garments, gets collected or is worn occasionally, a pin is the point. Nothing stops you ordering the same design in both, and plenty of buyers do.

Sew what stays on one garment. Pin what moves or is worn occasionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a lapel pin?
No. This is a fabric patch with pin hardware on the back. A lapel pin or an enamel pin is a metal product made a completely different way. If you want metal, those are separate pages and separate orders.
Does the pin damage the garment?
It leaves a small hole where it passes through. On work shirts, bags, hoodies and canvas that is not an issue. On tailoring, wool or silk it shows permanently, and a magnetic version is the better answer.
Which fitting will my patch have?
We confirm the fitting at order time against the weight and shape of the patch, rather than applying one by default. A heavier or longer patch needs different hardware placement than a small round one.
Will a large patch stay level?
It depends on the weight and where the hardware sits, since a long patch pivots around its fitting. We review that at proof stage. For a large piece worn all day, hook-and-loop or sewing is more stable.
Can I put pin backing on any patch type?
It is confirmed against your chosen construction at order time rather than assumed. The weight and thickness of the material both affect how the hardware sits and how well it holds.
Can I order the same design with two different backings?
Yes, and it is common. Buyers often order a sewn version for a permanent garment and a pin version for occasional wear. Tell us the split when you request the quote.
