PU & LEATHER PATCHES

PU and leather patches are a well-established branding feature in denim and workwear, commonly seen on jeans, jackets, and hard-wearing apparel. They add character and authenticity to garments while acting as a clear brand identifier. At Jointak, we design and manufacture custom PU and leather patches that combine durability, visual impact, and flexibility in design, helping your denim products stand out with a refined, timeless finish.

Why PU and Leather Patches Work So Well on Denim

Denim is built to last, which makes it the ideal fabric to pair with robust branding elements such as PU and leather patches. Positioned in high-visibility areas, these patches showcase your logo while reinforcing the quality and credibility of your garments. Their long lifespan ensures your branding remains intact throughout the life of the product.

PU (Polyurethane) Patches: A Modern, Responsible Choice

Polyurethane patches replicate the appearance and texture of leather while offering a vegan alternative suited to modern, sustainability-focused brands. They deliver durability and design versatility without compromising visual appeal.
