Why Choose Laserhyde Products?
Why Laserhyde Leatherette Sheets Outperform Standard Leatherette
Laserhyde has created and manufactured some of today’s best laser engravable leatherette sheets for professional laser engraving. Our engravable leatherette sheets are designed with hat patches in mind and engineered with reinforced internal layers for added strength. These leatherette sheets for laser engraving can also be paired with our thicker, exclusive low-temperature adhesive, giving you strong performance, better durability, and a more professional finished product.
Let’s face it — many laserable leatherette sheets on the market today are copied wholesale rebrands. They are often thinner, produce inconsistent engraving results, allow hat panel seams to show through. Many competitors also back their leatherette material with high-heat adhesive films that require temperatures above 290°F, which can risk scorching hats and custom apparel.
At Laserhyde, we solved that issue by creating a better, safer adhesive standard for professional hat patch production, with a thicker 1.85mm leatherette sheet designed to help reduce hat panel seam issues while delivering cleaner, bolder engraving results. Our leatherette sheets with adhesive apply at a lower temperature, making them safer for heat-sensitive materials without sacrificing strength or durability. The result is a stronger, cleaner, more professional leatherette for hat patches, built for serious laser engraving businesses and custom hat decorators.
- Better bonding adhesion during heat pressing
- Lower operating temps for safer application on fabrics and hats
- Cleaner, more stable engraving with better burn consistency
- Stronger backing that supports the leatherette material
- Cleaner results when laser cutting your project
- Perfect for engraving with CO2 glass tube lasers, RF lasers, diode lasers, and fiber/UV fiber lasers

🔹Frequently Asked Questions🔹
What is leatherette used for in laser engraving?
Leatherette is used to create custom hat patches, branded tags, promotional products, apparel patches, and laser engraved DIY projects. It is a synthetic leather-style material that engraves cleanly and creates strong contrast without using real leather.
Are Laserhyde leatherette sheets good for hat patches?
Yes. Laserhyde laser engravable leatherette sheets and adhesives were specifically tested, engineered, and manufactured for professional hat patch makers using heat press applications.
Do these leatherette sheets come with adhesive backing?
Yes. Our Laserhyde leatherette sheets are available with our optional adhesive backing, which features a strong low-temperature thermoplastic film. This makes them a great choice for hat patches, apparel, beanies, polyester fabrics, acrylic panels, and other heat-sensitive materials where strong bonding and lower application temperatures are important.
Is this a laser safe material?
Yes. Laserhyde leatherette and adhesive materials are laser safe and meet the Oeko-Tex 100 safety standard
What size leatherette sheets are best for desktop lasers?
For most desktop lasers, 12×18 and 12×20 leatherette sheets are the most popular sizes because they fit many common laser beds, while still giving you enough material for multiple hat patches, tags, labels, and custom engraving projects. Always check your laser’s usable bed size before ordering to make sure the sheet size fits your machine.
What lasers work with this material?
Both CO2 and diode lasers are compatible. We recommend laser powers above 20 watts, for better results, with the RF tube being the best option for precision and details.
What do I clean leatherette with?
Our recommended cleaner is a 60 to 40% ratio of LA awesome cleaner/degreaser to water. Lightly spray and wipe with a microfiber towel. Stay away from harsh alcohol cleaners as they may damage the top layer surface or dull the patches fiber engraved surface layer
Does this leatherette have a fabric or foam backing?
We primarily use a premium solid foam backing material for our sheets. In our testing against other competitors who use primarily double fiber layer backing, we found that the cutting results were not as solid as the foam backing, and rigid stability was lacking in a fiber only backed layer. In our patch pull test, we found that the fiber only backing style, peeled off more consistently than our premium solid sponge style backing, which had a better bond to the hat.
How do I find the correct laser engraving settings?
Leatherette types and colors can vary across different lasers. For the best results, we recommend creating a material test in LightBurn to dial in the correct settings based on color, lines per inch, power, and speed. Watch this video for more information. Click: VIDEO
