With more than 20 years of experience, Southland Patch & Promotions, Inc., located IN Jonesboro, Arkansas, provides top-quality, low-cost patches for companies, organizations, emergency services, and uniform companies. All of our patches are imported from Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Taiwan. Additionally, we can deliver in 14 to 18 working days after approval of the pre-production, scanned-and-emailed product. We ship products faster than Chinese factories, and we handle all the communication issues, making ordering hassle free. Our company also offers woven labels.

Woven patches are used for various day-to-day applications and are becoming as popular as a regular, embroidery patch. The difference between woven and embroidery patches is the clarity of small letterings and designs. Our patches can be made on all types of backing, including iron-on, plastic, pressure sensitive, and with decorative, over-edge border backing. The many advantages of woven patches include:

More Accurate & Precise Detail
Ability to Have Clean & Smaller Lettering
Close to Photographic Realism
No Worrying about Embroidery Percentages (All Woven Patches Have 100% Coverage)
Thinner Thread (Say Goodbye to the Look of Chain Stitching)
The Overall Size of the Patch Can Be as Small as a Half Inch
