Key Benefits of Woven Patches

🔍

Highest Resolution Detail

Woven threads are thinner than embroidery threads, allowing for sharper lines, clearer logos, and the ability to accurately reproduce small text and intricate details.

📏

Slimmer & More Flexible

Because the image is woven into the base fabric, not stitched on top, the patch is noticeably thinner and more flexible, making it ideal for lightweight garments.

🚫

No Visible Background Fabric

Woven patches are made using 100% thread coverage, eliminating the white background fabric often seen in 50% or 75% embroidered patches.

Clean Edge Options

We offer both hot-cut (laser sealed) and traditional merrowed borders, ensuring the patch shape matches your design perfectly and prevents fraying.

Woven vs. Embroidered: Choosing the Right Patch

Woven patches are the recommended solution when detail clarity is paramount, especially for smaller designs.

Available Woven Patch Backing Options

Like our embroidered patches, woven patches can be finished with all standard backing types.

🧵

Sew-On (Standard)

The standard, most durable option. Woven patches have a thin border that makes them easier to sew cleanly onto any garment.

🔥

Iron-On (Heat Seal)

A convenient way to apply patches quickly. We use industrial-grade heat seal adhesive designed for long-lasting adherence.

🪝

Velcro® (Hook-Side)

Ideal for tactical gear, backpacks, or modular apparel. We bond the Hook side of the Velcro directly to the back of the woven patch.

Woven Patches FAQ

Why choose a Woven Patch over an Embroidered Patch?

Woven patches use thinner threads woven together, similar to fabric or a label, which allows for much higher resolution and detail. They are the ideal choice when your logo contains small, fine lettering, intricate details, or complex shading that embroidery thread (which is thicker) cannot accurately reproduce.

What is the difference between a Woven Patch and a Woven Label?

Woven patches are typically cut into custom shapes and often have a merrowed or hot-cut border for durability, designed to be visibly displayed on the outside of a garment. Woven labels are usually folded and sewn into the seam or neck of a garment for internal branding.

What border types are available for Woven Patches?

The most common border types are: Hot-Cut (clean, laser-sealed edges for irregular shapes) and Merrowed (a tightly stitched edge for standard shapes like circles, squares, or rectangles, offering a more traditional 'patch' look).

Do Woven Patches cost more than Embroidery Patches?

Woven patches are generally priced comparably to 100% embroidered patches, as they require a similar setup and material cost. Pricing is primarily driven by size and quantity, with large orders receiving significant discounts.
