0:05 Intro: Welcome to the Customer Resource Center informational video on woven patches.
0:11 Woven:
With a complex, two-dimensional style, woven patches have a smoother surface of 100% coverage compared to embroidered patches.
Made entirely of thread with no twill. Woven patches are designed with 100% tight woven thread coverage for fine details, gradients, landscapes, and small lettering.
0:34 Making the patch: Size and Coverage:
Our patch sizes are determined by the length plus height, divided by two.
This patch for example, is 7”
0:47 Colors:
Woven patches can have up to five thread colors and can be PMS color-matched.
Choosing colors can be tough, especially when dealing with gradients. Creating a mockup beforehand can help determine the ideal number of colors. If there are more than five colors, extra charges per color may apply.
Have complex artwork and are not sure how many colors you need? Ask us for assistance!
1:15 Border Options:
Woven patches have only two border options. Merrowed and hot knife. Satin stitch is not available.
Merrowed border overlocks the edge
Hot knife cut prevents fraying
1:34 Backing Types:
Woven patches are available with the following backing options:
Stitch-on ready, also known as sew-on backing, is the most common backing; when using this type of backing, a merrowed border is recommended.
The most common backing is iron-on, also known as heat seal backing. Often used due to ease of application and to make sewing for long-lasting application a breeze.
Another popular choice is hook and loop backing. The loop is sewn onto the desired fabric, and the hook is sewn onto the patch. A traditional backing style used by the military, police, and other civil servants.
Stick-on backings are a one-time use, removable adhesive backing. When this option is selected, it essentially turns your patch into a sticker.
Plastic backing is used as a stabilizer to make large patches sturdier when stitching on and prevents a natural curl.
