Fine detail
Custom woven patches
Thinner threads for sharp outlines, small lettering and intricate designs, with a flat, sleek finish. Made to order in the UK.
What are woven patches?
Detail that embroidery cannot reach
Woven patches use much thinner threads than embroidered patches. That means sharper outlines and cleaner small lettering, symbols and fine detail, with a smooth, flat surface.
Their intricacy gives a more refined look, which suits art shows, cultural galas, tastings and commemorative events as well as brand labels and detailed logos.
Woven patches can be ironed on or sewn on, and come in any shape, border and size.
Best for
- Small text and fine detail
- Detailed logos and labels
- Commemorative and event patches
- A flat, sleek finish
How it compares
Woven or embroidered?
Choose woven when detail matters more than texture. If you want the classic raised look and your design has bold lines, embroidered patches are the better fit. For photographic images, go for printed patches.
Great for
- Brand and clothing labels
- Detailed club crests
- Event and anniversary patches
- Uniform name and role patches
