Textured Leatherette — Black to Black (12" × 24", Dual-Layer ~1.95 mm)

When you want subtle and sophisticated, Textured Black to Black delivers a quiet, premium finish. The matte, grained surface engraves tone-on-tone black, creating a refined, debossed effect that feels custom in hand and looks elevated on camera. The dual-layer ~1.95 mm body adds extra rigidity compared to standard sheets, helping patches hold their shape on curved crowns and reducing edge distortion on complex die-lines. It’s a favorite for luxury runs, brand collaborations, and projects where the mark should be visible up close without shouting across the room.
Production stays efficient: engrave first with minimal air to preserve micro-texture, then cut with air on for crisp outlines. Residue wipes off quickly with LA’s Totally Awesome and a soft brush. Consider Black to Black when your client asks for “understated,” “stealth,” or “all-black everything”—it nails the brief while maintaining professional durability.

  Press Notes – Textured Leatherette

  Our Signature Leatherette is designed for lower heat and shorter press times compared to standard materials. It responds best to balanced, moderate settings that preserve quality while increasing production speed.

  Recommended Starting Point (for Dual Press Users):

  • Top Heat: 235°F

  • Bottom Heat: 235°F

  • Time: 15–30 seconds (start with less time and increase as needed)

  • Pressure: Begin with lower to medium pressure until a clean, even press is achieved.

  • Sheet: Always use a silicone sheet during pressing.

  These settings are intended as a starting range only. Every press and environment varies, so we strongly recommend testing and fine-tuning for your specific setup and preferences.

  Please note that our Signature Leatherette was developed specifically for lower-temperature application and faster press cycles—allowing for higher production volumes without sacrificing quality.
  We do not recommend using the same settings as other leatherette brands, as our material composition is uniquely optimized for efficiency and consistent results.

Recommended Platen (Perfect Press: 112-1):

For optimal results with the 112-1 setting, ensure your patches are sized appropriately for your heat press. Patches that are too large may not achieve proper adhesion across the widest portions of the design. Important: Please verify that your patch dimensions and total area are compatible with your press capacity. Additional presses, increased pressure, or adjusted heat settings may be required for larger designs. We cannot be held responsible for application issues related to patches or designs that exceed the dimensions or area capacity of your heat press equipment.

Whether you're creating custom hat patches for your small town merch or producing bulk orders for wholesale clients, our Signature Leatherette delivers consistent, professional results every time.
