6/7/2017 – I have been buying patch material from [*******] for years, but someone on facebook recommended you. Please explain to me . . .
Response From Enmart:
Yes, that's precisely what we mean by laminated. Our parent
company is Ensign Emblem, and we are one of just a handful of
companies that make the patches for the rental uniform and laundry
industry in the U.S., and probably the only one that makes almost
everything IN the U.S. from U.S. products.
So, all the blank patches and laminated blank patch fabric are
exactly the same stuff we make for commercial customers. They have
to be tough to hold up in those harsh conditions too, and typically
our patches will outlast the garments.
But back to the "laminated" part - basically, the laminated
fabric is 4 layers made up of 3 different materials including
fabric, the laminate, and a reinforcing material. The laminate is
high melt only - you can't use an iron unless maybe you can get one
to go up to 400 degrees, but the patches are designed to be put on
with a heat press (or sewn on).

(and laminated patch material) this link will give you more info.
3/23/2017 – What is heat seal backing on your blank patches option?
Response From Enmart: Our heat seal backing is a commercial grade film that is designed to be applied with a heat press at 400 degrees F (ideally a label press with small platens and both top and bottom heat) for around 14 seconds at 60 psi.
However - it is also a general purpose backing, and used for stability and finishing, and does not require heat sealing if you just want to sew the patches on instead.
Note that heat seal is not iron on - although, if you don't have a heat press, but have an iron that goes to 400 degrees and you put some weight on it for up to half a minute, some have had success sealing them on that way.
