Custom Woven Patches
Ultra-Fine Detail — Perfect for Small Text & Complex Logos
Woven patches use thin, tightly woven threads to reproduce fine detail that embroidered patches can't match. If your design has small text, intricate patterns, or requires photographic-quality reproduction — woven is your answer. Part of our complete custom patches collection.
Woven vs Embroidered
When Finer Detail Matters More
The key difference between woven and embroidered patches is thread thickness. Embroidered patches use thick thread that creates a raised, textured surface — great for bold designs but limited in how fine the detail can be.
Woven patches use extremely thin threads woven tightly together — the same process used to make fabric. This allows woven patches to reproduce small text, fine lines, gradient-like color transitions, and complex logo details at a level of precision that simply isn't achievable with standard embroidery.
If your design contains text smaller than 0.25 inches, very fine lines, or intricate logo details that need to be perfectly sharp, woven patches are the right choice. They also lie flatter against the garment — ideal for labels, tags, and applications where a low-profile patch is preferred.

Choose woven patches when your design has small text (under 0.25 inches), very fine lines, or intricate detail that needs to be perfectly sharp. Also choose woven if you want a flat, low-profile patch for use as a label or tag.
Yes — woven patches are highly durable and washable. The tight weave construction actually makes them very resistant to fraying. Colors remain vibrant through repeated washing. They are slightly more flexible than embroidered patches due to their thinner thread construction.
Yes — woven patches can be made with iron-on (free), sew-on (free), peel and stick, or velcro backing, exactly like embroidered patches. Iron-on is the most popular choice and is included at no extra cost.
