Industrial Specialties | Embroidery Backings | Finding the Right Supplier

You have found the right backing supplier. H&V has an exceptionally broad product line featuring more than 15 different items. We are the only backing supplier that manufactures all of our own products. We do not buy odd lots or sell seconds. H&V is more than 150 years old and has eight manufacturing plants. Embroidery backing is important to us. All of our products are specifically designed for use as embroidery backings. We make cutaways, tearaways, tear/washaways, puff, fusibles, black, and flame-retardant styles. Both rolls and sheets are available in a variety of stocked configurations as well as in custom sizes.

Please take special note of the following items:
#2020 Tear/Washaway - This unique 2 oz/yd2 product tears exceptionally well in both directions and has superior stability. When laundered, the remaining backing surrounding the embroidery washes away, leaving a clean design and yet the stitches remain firmly locked. If you are going to use just one tearaway, this is the one.

#9925 Cutaway - This 2.5 oz/yd2 stable and versatile product is our most popular cutaway. It is also available in black. Number 9925 is easy to cut and has no hoop stretch. There are two lighter weight and one heavier weight versions of this product. If you are stocking one cutaway, this is the best option.

#3020 Cap Backing - This product’s stability and firm hand make it suitable for a variety of headwear applications. It is particularly suitable for low profile caps. At 3 oz/yd2, #3020’s easy tear properties are remarkable. When torn, the product leaves a fuzz-free edge.

H&V sells its backings only through distributors who are responsive to customers no matter how much they purchase.
