Yes this is true! Good point to raise for those who are looking into using these for the first time.

For velcro I only use it for charms where the print is sealed (such as double epoxy charms) or on badges, and for glue dots I have used one on a charm on its unsealed print and it came off fine but as a precaution I only put it on the very edge and on as little of the print as possible. A lot of my merch tends to overlap so sometimes I'll put the glue dot on the top surface of a charm and stick it to the underside of a badge to keep it in place (pic related).

You can also seal the print with a good nail polish topcoat but just a word of warning, sometimes the polish can dissolve the print so be very careful (I've had more charms be fine than not but I DID damage one even though I used the same polish for the ones that didn't dissolve. Luckily it's not too noticeable).

If you don't want to use adhesives or sew through the loop at the top you can also just put a jump ring through it and then pin the jump ring onto your insert from the back with a safety pin. Easy, reusable, and looks clean.
