Woven Badges

Explore our bespoke woven badges

When your design includes small details, fine lettering or intricate shapes, choosing the right type of badge can make a significant difference to the finished result. Woven badges are designed to provide a smooth, precise finish, making them an excellent option for logos, uniforms, promotional clothing and detailed designs. 

Our woven badges can be customised to suit your requirements, with a wide choice of colours, thread options, shapes and sizes. Whether you need badges for a company uniform, organisation, event or promotional campaign, woven badges offer a professional way to display your design.

What Are Woven Badges?

A woven badge is produced using a loom, with the design created by weaving threads together rather than stitching them onto a fabric base.

This production method creates a smooth surface across the badge. The finished woven badge is then backed to provide additional rigidity and is usually finished with an overlocked or oversewn edge.

The result is a neat and durable badge that can reproduce details more precisely than some other badge types.

Why Choose A Woven Badge?

The main advantage of woven badges is definition. Because the design is woven into the badge, it’s possible to achieve sharper lines and smaller details. This can make woven badges a particularly good choice for smaller designs where every detail matters.

If your design contains small lettering, fine lines or an intricate logo, woven badges are worth considering before choosing your final badge type.

Woven Or Embroidered Badges?

Woven and embroidered badges can look similar at first glance, but there are some important differences.

Embroidered badges have a raised, textured appearance because the design is stitched onto the fabric. Woven badges have a much smoother surface because the design itself is created through the weaving process.

If you want a traditional textured finish, embroidery may be the better option. However, if your priority is fine detail and sharp definition, woven badges can be more suitable. The right choice will depend on your artwork, the size of the badge and the appearance you want to achieve.

A Wide Choice Of Woven Badge Colours

Colour plays an important role in making your badge design stand out. A standard woven badge can incorporate up to twelve thread colours, giving you plenty of flexibility when recreating a logo, emblem or other artwork.

There are more than 500 standard colours to choose from, making it easy to find shades that complement your existing branding, uniform or design. 

Specialist thread options are also available, including:

  • Neon threads 
  • Glow in the dark threads 
  • Metallic threads

These can add another dimension to your design and help particular elements attract attention.

Create A Bespoke Woven Badge

Woven badges can be customised in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This means you’re not limited to a standard rectangular or circular design.

Your badge can be developed around your existing artwork, logo or requirements. If your design contains fine details, it can be useful to discuss the artwork before production to make sure the weaving process will achieve the finish you’re looking for.

Woven Badges For Larger Orders

Minimum order quantities for woven badges start from just 100 badges. However, they can become particularly cost-effective when ordering larger quantities of 1,000 or more. This makes them a practical option for organisations that need badges for multiple employees, large teams, nationwide uniforms or promotional campaigns.

Ordering larger quantities can also help ensure that your badges remain consistent across different batches and locations.

Make Your Design Stand Out

Choosing the right badge type can help your logo or design look its best. Woven badges provide a smooth, professional finish while allowing for greater definition and smaller details.

If you’re not sure whether woven or embroidered badges are right for your requirements, discussing your design before ordering can help you make an informed choice.

Get in touch with Tolley Badges to discuss your artwork, quantity and requirements, and discover how a bespoke woven badge could give your organisation a sharp, professional finish.

I've used Tolley Badges for years and they have always been a pleasure to deal with and consistently met and exceeded expectations

Stan Hon MBE, TOSB Tailors

I have used Tolley badges for my badge requirements for several years now I have always found them very efficient, polite and they seem to know just what I’m after.
Special thanks to Carole who has helped me so often, knowing that I’m not very good with a computer and makes it very easy for me by doing things the old fashioned way by telephone

Maria Ellison

Fantastic service from start to finish. Very helpful and kept informed at all stages.

Andy, Groby Scouts

Brilliant service as always!! Tolley are our only badge supplier and they have consistently delivered great quality badges at a very reasonable price.

st Ashley Scout group

Excellent service and good quality badges. Hannah was really helpful with the design work and although I thought I had left it too late to get the badges in time for our camp on the 2.2.24, the art work was approved on the 11/1 and I received the order on the 27/1. Tolleys are easy to reach by phone and prompt to answer emails. Well done. I would definitely use them again.

Tolley Badges have just completed an outstanding job for me with the design and manufacture of a school cadet force badge. Emily and Hannah have been wonderful to work with and their efforts to get things perfect have resulted in the delivery of a product that exceeds expectations. An outstanding supplier! Thanks very much and I shall certainly be back for a second batch when the time comes.

Ordered custom badges. Brilliant service from quote to delivery. All questions answered and replies recieved quickly and badges arrived earlier than anticipated. Kept up to date throughout the whole process. Design team created desired design quickly from a sketch and the badges are high quality. Pricing was fair. Will order again.

Jane

Friendly, helpful and efficient, a joy to do business with.
They treat you like a person not an order number.

Peter Clark

We sent in a rough sketch with some instructions of some changes we wanted to make to it, Tolley came back with a design that was just what we wanted. After we had excepted the design four or five weeks later a bag of beautiful badges arrived they were just what we have come to expect from Tolley Badges

Jane

I asked them to interpret a design by a 9 year old for a new badge and they managed to create a professional looking badge that was true to the design. We are all thrilled with the results

Daisy Hargett

Very quick at replying back. Very clam and collected on the phone. Good communication skills that's was a high due to the fact we wanted them earlier than 30 days. They are perfect and took two weeks to finalise details and decision. I will definitely use this company. A fantastic recommendation.

Mary Lees

From first contact with the company everything went very smoothly. After sending the original drawing phone contact was made and I described exactly what I wanted. Delighted with the result. I think badges are brilliant and service could not have been better.

Mr Ian Mcilroy

The service was first class they rang to check that small changes to my order were OK the badges arrived in less time than quoted and are exactly as requires

Tolley badges are simply the best! From initial enquiry to production everyone is so helpful, wouldn't go anywhere else!

Thank you for helping my daughter with her badge. Service has been fantastic and as for the badge … you’ve made her plan / sketch look amazing - thank you so much 🙂

Waddecar Scout Activity Centre

Another great badge from Tolley! Very pleased with the result and they’re already selling well. Thanks guys!

Mark Galipeau‎

Amazing work on my gift badges! Thanks for all your help.

‎Sandra Creasey‎

They were reasonably priced. They made us our camp badges in a very short time, (5 weeks), they were exactly what we asked for. Highly recommend them.

Andy Daddy

Very professional and friendly service, I had some bespoke badges made for a cub pack to match an original badge, the result was great and can’t tell the difference. The delivery was quick even though I was told the their machinery was going through a maintenance shut down.I would and have recommended Tolley Badges

Lesley Galloway

Because of the change of logo for the Scout Association, our stock running out and our decision do stop using the name tabs we decided to change our village badge to incorporate our group name and the new logo. Tolley Badges were very good in changing the original badge without any hassle, keeping the same colours and size. The badges have now arrived and have got the approval of our Group. Tolley are also doing a reprint of our County/District badges which I know will be a actor what we want.

Waddecar Scout Activity Centre

Wow! Despite being a continent away, the team at Tolley Badges made my personal project a snap. I learned of them through a Scouting friend, and did not send for competing quotes as I had complete confidence in reputation on all levels. My custom commissioned art work was rendered into a badge that I will give to my tall ship mates as a memento of our time aboard ship.
