We love the leather patches. They engrave well and the patch is durable.

It doesn’t matter what settings or passes I try, the layer on the bottom doesn’t cut. White vinyl cut with out issue but, the black silver bottom layer doesn’t cut
Duo forge works great. I'm just beginning this hobby but I'm glad already that I started with a quality hat press.
After feeling out the best engraving settings, the prints were flawless!
The adhesive is some of the best I've ever used. Hat patches that I made last year for an event are still holding strong. I'm using this adhesive again this year.
Turned out great!! Very quick turnaround also! I will definitely be using y'all again. Thank you very much
I finally can make popular men's hats that are always in demand! No learning curve, very easy to use...except I will keep my old hat press near by to do my other hats cause they do require more pressure (puff vinyl) and I didn't know I couldn't adjust pressure with this Duoforge model. Duoforge Pro I believe you can, but that is not an issue, I just didn't look into that or even think about pressure. No problem though! Still love this hat press!
Absolutely love the machine. Well done Patch Crafters. Consistently provides quality results time after time. No more wasting time, money, and hats just to be wasted. We are very satisfied.
Love the shipping speed and the product. Great customer service. The shipping company all but destroyed the box it shipped in creasing the leatherette badly. Patchcrafters had replacements shipped the same day. Couldn’t be happier.
Very impressive. Heats up faster than any press I’ve ever owned. With a little finesse I was even able to pull off a dtf print on a Richardson 112 6 panel.
This is my first hat press and it was very easy to learn. I love the simplicity of it and I always get great results when using it. I love that its double heated without the price of the others I've reviewed.
Love this press! This is my first nice hat press and I’m glad I chose this model. Works great, price point was fantastic for a small business owner.
Fantastic quality

Super clean
High quality real leather not fake leather
Great slim compact design! Love the dual lower and upper heat settings. Perfect for leather patches. So much more more affordable then any other dual heat products out there. Would buy again!
I do not know how else you guys can improve given the issue. I am having other than figure Ringe out why it will not hold temperature and correcting that issue other than that you guys have been great.
This thing Rips! I got through 75 hats in no time. No marks really. Looks good. Good heat and pressure. I would buy it again.
I have been using the standard gray but thought I'd give the vintage gray a try. I love the texture of this. This will be my go to gray moving forward.
I was excited to find something both portable and with a dual plate for hat patches. I knew the trusty Richardson caps would be fine, but I have been dreaming up different designs on the performance caps that have the dry fit mesh backs and a rope which can cause issues when clamping down. I was concerned they either wouldn't stick or would burn the caps. Between the rubber mats, adjusting the heat plates and playing with the placement - we got it! These are pictures of a quick idea run and but we had an even press and the patch stuck firm and lasted through fishing, outside in the heat and sweat.
I'm loving the dual press and still playing with temps for different hats we use. @pinCgatorgear
I have fought pressing hats for the past 5 years, my old press would always crease the hats unless I added socks or other items to try and stop it from creasing. I just did a test press on a couple of my Richardson hats and they came out flawless. Super happy with the duoforge and highly recommend it. Ease of use was awesome. The dual heated platters makes placing hat patches so much easier since they stick in place before final press. Outstanding product.
Really nice to work with. The red pops against the black
I didn’t think a small piece of Silicone would make such a big difference. No platen marks on any hats so far. I love it. Make sure you get a two or three pack. They are awesome. The DuoForge press is pretty sweet too. You should get one. They are fast and consistent.
Easy to order, great looking patch!
First time ever using a heat press of any kind. Tested on this hat with my logo. The unit was very easy to use and works great!!
First time every using a heat press of any kind. Unit was very easy to use and worked great!!
best thing ever
Very easy to use and operate. One suggestion is don’t forget a silicone mat while pressing because I accidentally forgot a couple time already and ruined some pvc patches.
My first order of 36 had 21 that had quality issues (blotches, black spots or lines, different color letters - some brown or black). I was sent replacements which were better but still had issues. I ordered 40 more in preparation of our town celebration. The majority of the order were great but others still had blotches.
Love the patches but discovered that my laser can’t quite give me the dark finish that I was hoping for so I will be ordering custom for my next set!
These laser great and turn out awesome. Pretty simple to warm up and get pressed on the hat too.
I had a repeat order for one of my customers that included heat-applied MetFlex patches. Our new Duo Forge Pro arrived just in time for production and did not disappoint! Production went without any issues. I was surprised that this press out performed our other more expensive hat press. We press 30+ patches on three different types of poly caps and nailed it on the first try. We are very pleased with our purchase and cant wait to see how it does on the next project.
Quick delivery, great product
This acrylic engraved very cleanly with crisp edges. Very happy with this product. I will be stocking it for future orders.
Delivered sooner than expected and filled three orders in just a few hours. Amazing machine.
