Choosing a patch material

Compare embroidered, woven, printed, and PVC patches for your design.

Embroidered and woven

Embroidery gives bold shapes and lettering a raised thread texture. Woven patches use finer threads on a flatter surface, which can help preserve small lettering and thin lines.

Printed and PVC

Printing is a good fit for gradients and photographic artwork. Molded PVC suits designs with distinct color areas and raised details, especially for gear that gets wet.
