Custom Woven Patches: Fine-Detail Logo Patches for Hats, Apparel and Gear
Short answer: a custom woven patch is made from fine threads woven tightly together, like a high-end clothing label, so it holds small lettering and thin lines that embroidery cannot. Woven patches are flat, thin and light, and come with sew-on, iron-on or hook-and-loop backing. We quote them per design and can apply them to hats, apparel and bags, with no minimum.
When to Choose a Woven Patch
- Your logo has small text, a tagline, a web address or thin lines.
- You want a clean, flat, retail look instead of raised thread, like a brand label on a hat or jacket.
- The patch is small, under about 2 inches, where embroidery would lose detail.
- You want a lighter patch that sits flat on thin or unstructured fabric.

Woven Patches on Hats
Woven patches look sharp on the front of trucker, rope and 5-panel caps and on the side of a cap as a small brand label. See custom patch hats and custom 5-panel hats. For a rugged look instead, consider a laser-engraved leather patch at $6 a hat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do custom woven patches cost?
They are quoted per design based on size, shape, colors, backing and quantity. Larger runs cost less per patch.
Are woven patches better than embroidered?
For small text and fine detail, yes. For a bold, raised, classic look, embroidered patches are better. Many brands use woven for small labels and embroidered for big logos.
Can woven patches be ironed on?
Yes, with heat-seal backing on cotton, denim and canvas. For workwear that gets washed hard, sew them on.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum on embroidery or patches. Embroidery pricing drops at 12, 48, 60 and 80 pieces.
How long does it take?
Standard production is about 21 days (three weeks) from your approved proof, plus shipping. Rush production is available for a rush fee.
Do you ship outside Nevada?
Yes. We decorate in Yerington, Nevada and ship anywhere in the US.
