Woven Badges
Woven badges offer exceptional clarity and a refined, flat finish that makes them ideal for detailed designs, fine lettering and formal applications.
Produced on specialist looms, woven badges allow for higher definition than traditional embroidery. This makes them particularly suitable for intricate crests, small text, complex heraldic elements and multi-colour designs that need to remain sharp and legible.

We can produce woven badges in low or in larger quantities, working from existing artwork or creating new designs. Finishes and backing options are selected to suit the intended use, whether for sewing onto garments or display purposes.
Woven Badges vs Embroidered Patches
Both woven badges and embroidered patches are high-quality options for organisational, military and corporate use. The best choice depends on the design, the required finish, and how the badge will be worn.
