Why Choose Woven?
Woven patches are all about precision. If your logo has fine lines, small text, or complex detail, weaving captures every thread perfectly. The result is a flat, smooth finish that looks sharp and professional — perfect for crests, branding, and decorative detail.
💡 Think: school crests, intricate logos, detailed fonts, fine-line branding, and modern uniform programs.
How It Works
- Best for: Logos with fine detail or small text
- Look & feel: Smooth, flat, and silky with crisp definition
- Limitations: Doesn’t have the chunky, raised texture of embroidery
- Text size guide: Minimum 2mm high — perfect for detailed fonts and fine artwork

Edge & Backing Options
Just like embroidery, woven patches can be finished with edges and backings that suit how they’ll be used.
- Edges: Merrowed for a traditional outline, or laser-cut satin stitch for detailed shapes
- Backings: Sew-on for strength, heat seal (iron-on) for easy application, or Velcro for removable use

Woven Patches FAQ
As small as 2mm high — ideal for detailed fonts and crisp logos.
Yes. They’re flat and smooth, without the raised stitch texture of embroidery.
Almost any shape. Laser cutting allows for highly detailed outlines.
Sew-on, iron-on, or Velcro — same as embroidered patches.
About two weeks from sample approval. Rush jobs are often possible.
♻️ Rebranding Old Uniforms
Definitely. Woven badges are thin and flexible, making them ideal for rebranding existing uniforms. They cover flat embroidery or printed logos neatly, giving garments a new lease on life.
Generally not. The tight weave provides excellent coverage, especially if you size your new badge slightly larger (around 10mm wider and taller) than the old logo.
Yes, provided the underlying embroidery is relatively flat. Press firmly, or sew for extra hold.
It’s cost-effective, sustainable, and keeps good uniforms in circulation longer. Rebranding by patch saves money and reduces textile waste — and let’s be honest, whether covering anything up or not, woven patches look awesome anyway.
