A Jacquard loom is a precision weaving machine driven by a digital file — your artwork is translated into a thread pattern, then woven at micro HD density. Unlike embroidery, where thick stitches limit fine detail, or print, where ink sits on top and eventually cracks, a woven patch is made from thread.
That's why woven patches stay razor-sharp at small sizes, sit slim and flat against the fabric, and survive hundreds of washes without fading. The signature Merrow edge then frames it all with a clean, durable border.
The edge defines the look. A Merrow border gives the classic patch finish; a laser-cut edge lets the patch follow any custom shape.

What Customers Say
FAQ
Woven patch questions, answered
Woven patches are created on a precision Jacquard loom — your artwork is translated into a thread pattern and woven at micro HD density. Because the design is made from thread rather than printed on top, the detail stays sharp and the colors never fade, even after hundreds of washes.
Woven patches give the sharpest detail and a slim, flat profile — best for fine text and small logos. Embroidered patches have a raised, stitched 3D texture for a classic badge look but lose fine detail. Printed patches reproduce full-color, photographic artwork and gradients. All three are available — woven is the best all-rounder for crisp, durable branding.
A Merrow edge is the thick, overlocked thread border stitched around the patch — the classic, finished patch look. It suits standard shapes like rectangles, squares, circles, ovals, and rounded rectangles. For custom or intricate shapes we use a precise laser-cut edge instead, so the patch follows any outline exactly.
Choose a standard shape — rectangle, square, circle, oval, triangle, or rounded rectangle — or a fully custom shape die-cut to your outline. Patches range from 0.31" up to 7.87" in width and height; just enter the exact dimensions you need and the price updates in real time.
Five backing options: sew-on (most permanent), iron-on (heat-activated, no sewing), sticker (peel-and-stick adhesive), Velcro hook side (attaches to existing loop panels), or Velcro both sides (a complete removable hook-and-loop set). Sew-on is the most durable for anything that's washed often.
Up to 12 colors per patch. The configurator shows a live preview of your exact color combination before you order — what you see on screen is what gets woven.
The minimum order is 50 patches per design, and the per-unit price drops as your quantity increases — the exact price is shown live in the tool before checkout. Businesses that want to validate a design before a full run can order a 5-piece Proof Pack, made to your exact spec with a photo proof, then reorder any quantity in one click.
