Woven patches for caps.

Woven thread by thread — as a patch, a flag label on the edge or a woven label

A woven (jacquard) patch is your logo woven on a loom from coloured polyester threads — smooth and flat, with crisp outlines and a clean edge. We attach the same woven tape in three ways: as a patch on the front or side of the cap, as a small flag label sewn into the edge, the peak or a beanie cuff, or as a woven label in the seam. A classic for heritage, sports and streetwear brands — very durable, with a genuine retail-collection look. Every order of custom woven patch caps is quoted individually, always with a sample before production.

When to choose it

Woven patches work best for:

Crests, shields, lettering and outlined logos Weaving renders fine detail more sharply than embroidery — lettering from approx. 4 mm, lines from approx. 0.5 mm. Several thread colours on a flat, uniform surface.
Heritage, sports and streetwear brands, and clubs Patch caps with your logo look like they came from a retail collection — the patch is a design feature, not a promotional print. Ideal for merch, teams, associations and companies with a long tradition.
One logo across many cap styles Once woven, the patch works on a cap, beanie, snood or headband — including knits and fabrics where direct embroidery does not turn out as well.
Discreet branding: flag labels and woven labels A small woven flag label with your logo or web address on the edge of the cap, plus a label with your logo in the seam — that is how fashion brands do it. Most often combined with embroidery on the front.
Which format?

Patch, flag label or woven label — the same woven fabric, a different place.

All our woven label patches are made with one technique (jacquard weaving); what differs is the shape, the size, and where and how we attach them. Formats can be combined, e.g. a patch on the front + a flag label with your web address on the edge.

Process

How a woven patch is made, step by step.

1
Logo file + format

Send us your logo (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF, PNG) and tell us whether you want a patch, a flag label or a woven label — and on which caps. We send back a quote with a visual within 1–2 working days.

2
Weaving program and woven sample

We translate your logo into a program for the jacquard loom (thread colours, weave density, edge). We weave a sample and send you photos — or, on request, a physical sample by courier.

3
Weaving the run

Once you approve, we weave the whole run and finish the edges (merrowed or cut to the outline).

4
Sewing on + dispatch

We sew the patches on and stitch flag labels or woven labels into the chosen places on the caps. Shipped by courier once the order is complete.

FAQ

Questions about custom woven patch caps.

How is a woven patch different from embroidery?

Embroidery is stitched directly onto the cap — the needle sews your logo into the fabric. A woven (jacquard) patch is woven separately on a loom, thread by thread, and only then sewn onto the cap. That gives it a smooth, flat surface, sharper fine detail and a clean edge, and the same logo can be sewn onto different cap styles, winter hats included. Embroidery has a more raised, textile feel; a patch looks more graphic and uniform.

Is my logo suitable for a woven patch?

Logos with clear shapes and a limited number of colours work best: crests, shields, lettering, and heritage or sports-style symbols. Jacquard weaving reproduces fine detail better than embroidery, but it has its limits — lettering from approx. 4 mm high and lines from approx. 0.5 mm; gradients and photos are not possible (that is what printed patches are for). Send us your file — we will come back with an assessment and a visual within 1–2 working days.

What is a flag label, and how does it differ from a patch and a woven label?

It is the same woven tape, used in a different way. A patch is sewn flat onto a cap panel (front, side or back). A flag label is a small woven tab, usually folded in half and sewn into a seam: on the edge of a cap, on a beanie cuff or at the side — most often carrying a logo or a web address. A woven label is sewn into the back seam or inside the cap, where the manufacturer's label would go, with your logo and optionally the composition or size.

How do you attach the patches? Can I order the patches on their own?

As standard, we machine-stitch the patches on — the most durable way of attaching them, resistant to washing and to the peak being bent. On request, we can supply patches with an iron-on (heat-seal) backing for you to apply yourself, or deliver loose patches on their own, without caps.

How much does a woven patch cost, and what is the minimum order?

The price depends on the size of the patch, the quantity and the attachment method; the first order also includes a one-off weaving program set-up, which is not repeated on later runs. Woven patches become cost-effective from a few dozen pieces — we produce from 25 pieces. Send us your logo and a rough number of caps, and we will send you a quote with a visual within 1–2 working days.

How durable are woven patches? What about washing?

Very durable — polyester fabric does not fade, does not fray when the edge is merrowed or heat-sealed, and lasts for years of wear. A cap with a patch can be washed by hand or at 30°C without bleach, like any decorated cap.
