Color Waves Leatherette Patches: Bold Energy for Custom Hats
Color Waves leatherette patches bring an energetic multicolor pattern to custom hats, replacing a traditional solid surface with flowing waves of bright color. The lively UV-printed design gives patches an expressive, contemporary look that works well when the goal is to make a logo or graphic stand out.

Color Waves features a multicolor wave-style pattern printed with flexible UV ink onto Premium Leatherette®. Because it is a printed pattern, LoneStar does not specify a separate two-tone engraving underlayer or contrast color for this product, so the colorful printed surface itself is the defining visual feature.
Black, white, charcoal, navy, or other relatively neutral hat and thread colors can give the bright Color Waves pattern enough visual separation to remain the focal point.
The Material Behind the Color
These custom Color Waves patches are made using the top-tier Premium Leatherette® supplied by LoneStar Adhesive. LoneStar describes its exclusive leatherette as thicker and more reliable than typical leatherette and specifically engineered to be laser-friendly. The Heritage Collection Color Waves sheets are approximately 0.059" (1.5 mm) thick and use a flexible UV-printed surface.
Why the Heritage Collection?
The Heritage Collection combines Premium Leatherette® with decorative UV-printed patterns designed to provide more visual character than standard solid sheets. Color Waves uses flexible UV ink over laser-friendly leatherette and is backed with American-made Durra-Bull™ thermal-activated adhesive. LoneStar also notes that UV-printed patterns may require slightly higher laser power when producing finer details, making proper settings important for clean results.

From a design standpoint, Color Waves hat patches are a strong fit for youth-focused brands, lifestyle apparel, creative businesses, festival merchandise, summer collections, sports-inspired designs, and products that benefit from a brighter visual identity. The mix of flowing colors creates natural movement, so simpler logos and bold engraved graphics can work particularly well against the active background.
