Highest resolution detail
Thinner threads than embroidery for sharper lines and accurate small text.
Woven patches reproduce the fine detail embroidery thread can't — small text, complex logos, intricate shading and gradient color blending. Made with thinner threads woven together for sharper lines and a slimmer profile than a stitched patch.
Why choose woven
Woven patches solve a specific problem: reproducing detail at sizes where embroidered patches lose clarity. Fine text, intricate linework, complex shading — woven is the right choice.
Thinner threads than embroidery for sharper lines and accurate small text.
Woven into the base fabric, not stitched on top — thinner and more flexible than embroidered.
No exposed background fabric by default, unlike 50% or 75% embroidered patches.
Hot-cut (laser-sealed) or merrowed (stitched) — matched exactly to your design's shape.
Woven vs. embroidered
| Feature | Woven | Embroidered |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Small text, fine lines, complex logos | Large text, bold designs |
| Detail clarity | Excellent — high resolution | Good — limited by thread |
| Feel / thickness | Thin, smooth, flexible | Thicker, raised, textured |
| Smallest text | ~6pt / 1.5mm | ~18pt / 4mm |
| Thread coverage | 100% by default | 50%, 75% or 100% |
| Typical cost | Comparable to 100% embroidered | Varies by coverage |
Both are quality patch types — they solve different design problems.

Frequently asked questions
Woven patches reproduce fine detail — small text, intricate linework, complex shading — that embroidery thread is too thick to render cleanly. If your design needs that level of clarity, woven is the right choice.
A woven patch is a standalone applied patch with a backing (Velcro, sew-on, iron-on, adhesive) meant to sit on the outside of a garment. A woven label is typically sewn into a seam as a care or brand tag, without the backing options a patch needs.
Hot-cut (laser-sealed) for clean, precise edges on any shape, or merrowed (stitched) for a classic thread-wrapped border. Both prevent fraying.
All 4 standard types: sew-on (most durable), iron-on (heat-seal), hook-side Velcro (tactical and modular use), and adhesive peel-and-stick (temporary).
5 patches per design.
8–12 working days standard, with rush production available at 5–7 days.
Woven pricing is comparable to 100%-coverage embroidered patches — it depends on size, quantity, thread complexity, border and backing choice rather than the material carrying a fixed premium.
Vector formats (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) give the cleanest woven result, especially for fine text and detail. We can also work from high-resolution raster art.

Customer reviews
★★★★★
Our logo has tiny sub-text that embroidery always blurred. Woven read it perfectly at 6pt — first vendor to pull that off.
★★★★★
Slim profile made a real difference on our lightweight jackets — no stiff, bulky patch weighing down the fabric.
