Small text stays legible
Fine threads resolve type that embroidery would close up — the reason woven is standard for labels and detailed crests.
Woven Patches
Custom woven patches for the detail embroidery loses
Thinner threads woven into the base rather than stitched on top, giving a flat, low-profile finish. This is the one to pick when your logo has small type, thin rules, or a lot going on in a small space.

Woven
How it is made
What you are actually getting
Weaving and embroidery sound similar and behave nothing alike. An embroidered patch has thread stitched on top of a fabric base; a woven patch is the fabric — warp and weft threads interlaced so the design forms as the cloth is made. The threads are far finer, so the resolution is far higher.
The trade-off is texture. A woven patch is smooth and thin, without embroidery's raised relief. On a cap front or a fashion label that is exactly what you want; on a heavy workwear jacket you may prefer the heft of embroidery.
Key features
Why our woven patches hold up
Thin and flexible
Almost no bulk, so it sits flat on caps, sleeves and lightweight garments without stiffening them.
Sharp colour boundaries
No stitch spread between colours, so intricate multi-colour artwork keeps its edges.
Durable weave
Machine washable and colourfast, with sealed borders that hold up to repeated laundering.
Our production process
-
01
Send the idea, not a finished file
A sketch on paper, a logo in low resolution, or a description in a WhatsApp message is enough. Our design team redraws it to production quality at no charge.
-
02
Digital mockup inside 24 hours
You get a to-scale visual with thread colours, dimensions and backing called out. Ask for changes as many times as you need — revisions are free until you are happy.
-
03
Approve, then production runs 7–14 days
Nothing goes to the floor without your sign-off. On large or repeat orders we can send a physical sample first so you can feel the weight and edge before committing.
-
04
Inspected, boxed, tracked
Every batch is checked for colour match, stitch density, edge finish and backing adhesion. Then it ships with tracking, anywhere in the USA or overseas.

Backing options
How it attaches
The backing decides whether the patch is permanent, removable, or something you press on at home in ten seconds.
Heat press
Applied with heat and pressure in a commercial press. The strongest bond and the flattest finish — best for bulk uniform runs.
Sew-on
Stitched directly onto the fabric. Permanent, traditional, and the only sensible choice for leather, heavy denim and thick outerwear.
Velcro
Hook-and-loop backing so the patch comes off and goes back on. Standard for tactical kit, name tapes and anything that swaps between garments.
Iron-on
Heat-activated adhesive you can apply with a household iron. Fast and clean on cotton and poly-cotton; add a few stitches if it will see heavy wear.
Border options
How it ends
The edge is the first thing that frays on a cheap patch. Three ways to finish it properly.
-
Merrowed border
The traditional raised, rounded edge. Thick, protective, ideal for simple shapes — circles, shields, rectangles.
-
Embroidered border
Clean modern lines that can follow any outline, so intricate and irregular shapes stay sharp.
-
Laser cut border
A smooth, sealed edge with a subtle sheen and virtually no bulk. The most precise option for complex silhouettes.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the design has small text, thin lines or fine detail, choose woven. If you want visible texture and a raised finish on a heavier garment, choose embroidered.
Woven reliably holds text down to roughly 2 pt at a normal viewing distance — noticeably finer than embroidery manages.
They feel thinner, not cheaper. It is the same construction used for the branded labels sewn inside premium garments.
Merrowed for simple shapes, or laser-cut for intricate outlines. Laser cutting is the more common choice given woven artwork tends to be detailed.
Yes — machine washable and colourfast. Sew-on or heat-press backing is best if the garment is laundered frequently.
