PATCHES

Fine detail, in a flatter finish.

Consider a woven patch when the design calls for a smooth surface and intricate artwork.

Illustrative design concept

A CONSIDERED APPROACH

Built around the way
you’ll use it.

Woven designs use fine interlaced threads rather than an embroidered fill. This can suit detailed marks, but text, borders and color decisions still need to be evaluated at the intended finished dimensions.

01

Detailed artwork

Provide clear outlines and identify any small text that must remain readable.

02

Edge treatment

Specify the patch shape and preferred finished border.

03

Final use

Share the garment, attachment method and quantity for project review.

BEFORE YOU START

Small choices.
A different finished result.

These decisions help define the project before the artwork or production plan is approved.

Woven Patches: decisions to confirm

Decision	What to specify	Why it matters
Flatness and texture	Decide whether the finer woven appearance matches the design direction.	A woven surface has a different character from raised embroidery.
Fine lettering	Evaluate the smallest text at the intended dimensions.	Woven construction still has limits and should not be treated as unlimited resolution.
Border finish	Select the outline shape and intended finishing treatment.	The edge should be reviewed along with the main artwork.

Request this project ↗

Is woven the same as embroidered?

No. Woven artwork is formed through interlaced threads, while embroidered artwork is stitched onto a supporting material. The surfaces look and feel different.

Can I use the same graphic for both?

The artwork can be a shared reference, but each material may require its own simplification and production preparation.

What should I approve before physical production?

Confirm artwork, actual size, material, colors, edge finish, backing, quantity and any sample or proof requirements. Timing and delivery should be agreed separately.

How is the project price confirmed?

Price depends on the approved artwork and physical specifications, including size, construction, quantity and delivery needs. Request a project-specific total before authorizing work.
