Custom woven patches are made by weaving threads together rather than stitching the design on top of a base fabric. This construction gives them a smooth surface, softer edges, and a high level of detail. Woven patches are especially well suited for logos, lettering, and artwork with fine lines or intricate elements. They are a great choice for brands that want a clean, refined, and detail-focused look.
Woven patches are thinner, smoother, and better for fine details. Embroidered patches are thicker, more textured, and create a more dimensional look. As a simple guide, woven patches are usually the better option for small logos and detailed designs, while embroidered patches are better for bold artwork and a more raised, textured appearance.
Our standard minimum order quantity is usually 100 to 200 pieces per design. If you only need a sample order, that can usually be requested separately. This gives customers flexibility when testing a design before moving into full production.
The price of custom woven patches is affected by several factors, including patch size, number of colors, edge type, and backing option. In general, woven patch pricing is based not only on size, but also on thread count and design complexity. The more detailed the design and the more colors involved, the higher the cost may be.
The most common size range for custom woven patches is about 2 to 4 inches, or roughly 5 to 10 centimeters. We can also customize the size based on your specific design and application needs.
Yes, we can provide close Pantone color matching for custom woven patches. However, because thread dyeing is involved, there may still be slight color variation compared with a printed Pantone reference. We always aim to match the color as closely as possible within the limits of the material.
We offer iron-on backing, sew-on backing, Velcro backing, and adhesive backing for custom woven patches. Each option is suited to a different type of use. Iron-on is convenient for home application, sew-on offers a more secure attachment, Velcro works well for removable patches, and adhesive backing is useful for temporary use.
We offer merrowed borders and heat-cut borders. A merrowed border is the standard stitched edge and gives the patch a classic finished look. A heat-cut border is better for precise shapes and creates a cleaner, more modern appearance.
Yes, custom woven patches are durable. The threads are strong, the surface resists wear well, and the design can remain clear even after repeated washing with proper care. They are a reliable option for everyday apparel and accessory use.
Yes, woven patches are well suited for detailed designs. However, extremely tiny elements may still need to be simplified, and gradient effects are generally not supported in woven construction. If your design includes gradients or extremely fine visual detail, a printed patch may be the better choice.
Yes. We provide a free digital mockup before production starts, and physical samples are also available as an option. Physical sample production usually takes about 3 to 5 days, which gives customers a chance to review the patch before approving bulk production.
Standard bulk production usually takes about 7 to 10 days. Rush orders can often be completed in about 5 to 7 days, although an additional rush fee usually applies. If you are working with a deadline, we can review the schedule with you in advance（The final production time depends on your quantity）
We offer several packaging options, including bulk poly bag packaging, individual packaging with backing cards, and branded retail packaging. The right packaging depends on whether the patches are intended for direct use, resale, display, or branded presentation.
Our acceptable defect rate is 3% or less. If there is a verified quality issue beyond that standard, we can offer solutions such as replacement in the next batch or a partial refund, depending on the situation.
Yes, we offer worldwide shipping for custom woven patches. We also support dropshipping and blind shipping, which can be especially helpful for resellers, online stores, and brand owners.
