Custom woven patches can be attached in two convenient ways — the most common method is heat pressing, which provides a strong and lasting bond. Alternatively, a peel-and-stick backing is available for quick, temporary use.

Keep in mind that the necessary heat and pressure may vary depending on the fabric you’re applying the patch to. For best results, be sure to check out our detailed application guidelines.

High Precision: Thanks to the weaving method, woven patches can capture intricate designs and fine text with exceptional clarity.

Absolutely — garments with woven patches can be washed safely. For best results, use cold water and a mild detergent to avoid damaging the patch or weakening its bond. Always follow the care instructions on the garment label, but also consider how the patch was applied.

If your patch was heat pressed, it’s generally safe for machine washing. However, if you used a peel-and-stick backing, that version is intended for temporary use only and isn’t suitable for washing.

Woven patches are typically lighter and thinner than other patch types, which gives them greater flexibility. Their slim profile makes them easy to apply to different surfaces, especially when using a heat press — the preferred method for a smooth and secure attachment.

Custom woven patches serve a broad range of purposes and are embraced across various industries and communities due to their sharp detailing and smooth finish. Their lightweight construction and clarity make them especially suitable for displaying detailed designs, such as small text, logos, and symbols.

• Woven patches are frequently sewn or heat-pressed onto garments like jackets, hoodies, shirts, and uniforms. They’re also commonly found on caps, tote bags, and backpacks. These patches add a personalized or branded element to the item without adding bulk or stiffness, making them ideal for day-to-day wear.
  
• Many companies utilize woven patches to reinforce their brand identity. For example, a finely woven company logo on a polo shirt or softshell jacket not only looks professional but also lasts through frequent wear. Businesses often use them on event giveaways, staff uniforms, or even promotional merchandise such as laptop sleeves or branded accessories.
  
• Sports teams at all levels — from school clubs to professional organizations — favor woven patches for team branding. They are commonly used to display team logos, player numbers, or commemorate special tournaments. Fans, too, use them as collector's items or to personalize fan gear and show loyalty to their favorite teams.
  
• Woven patches are often adopted by structured groups such as the military, scouting organizations (e.g., Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts), emergency services, or adventure clubs. These patches can indicate rank, role, achievements, or unit affiliation, and are designed to be highly legible and long-lasting — two qualities that woven production offers with precision.
  

By offering clarity, durability, and comfort, woven patches are not only decorative but also functional, making them a reliable choice for both formal and casual applications. Their versatility continues to make them a top option for anyone looking to combine subtlety with strong visual identity.

Woven patches are crafted by tightly weaving threads together to form detailed designs within the fabric itself. This method gives the patch a sleek, flat finish with excellent resolution — ideal for showcasing complex logos, text, or artwork.

Unlike traditional embroidery, where threads are stitched on top of a backing, woven patches integrate the design directly into the weave of the material. This results in a smoother texture and cleaner detail, making them perfect for applications where clarity and precision matter most.

Woven patches are created by interlacing fine threads to form detailed patterns directly into the fabric, rather than stitching on top like embroidery. This technique allows for clean lines and precise detail, resulting in a smooth, flat finish. Their refined texture and distinct look make them a great option for custom designs that require clarity and subtlety.
