THE PATCH JOURNAL
Embroidered, woven or PVC: where to start
Different materials bring different kinds of character to a patch.
Embroidered texture
Thread gives classic embroidered patches a tactile finish. Bold lettering, familiar badge shapes and clear areas of color are good starting points.
Woven detail
A finer weave can suit small lettering and more intricate artwork. Discuss the smallest text and thinnest lines with the team at your intended dimensions.
Molded dimension
PVC-style patches offer a smooth, layered look. Defined shapes and separated color areas help communicate the desired depth.
Ask for a recommendation
No material is the right answer for every design. Explain where your patch will be used and share the artwork so the team can guide you.
