Compare
Embroidered vs woven vs PVC
None of these is the better construction on its own. The artwork and the surface the patch has to sit on decide which one is worth sampling.
| What buyers compare | Embroidered | Woven | PVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface | Raised thread over a twill base | Flat woven surface | Molded, dimensional surface |
| Detail that reproduces best | Bold logos, text and badge-style artwork | Small lettering and clean fine lines | Dimensional shapes and solid colour areas |
| Look and feel | Classic stitched look with texture and dimension | Lightweight and smooth | Flexible with a raised 3D effect |
| Typical fit | Uniform, workwear, outdoor and lifestyle products | Lightweight branding where fine lettering matters | Outdoor and dimensional logo designs |
