Painted Planks Leatherette Patches: Rustic Character for Custom Hats

Painted Planks leatherette patches bring a wood-plank-inspired, handcrafted look to custom hats without relying on a plain solid color. The UV-printed pattern adds visual movement and character, making it a strong choice for rustic, workshop-style, outdoor, or heritage-inspired designs.

What Makes Painted Planks Leatherette Patches Stand Out?

Unlike a solid two-tone sheet, Painted Planks is a UV-printed pattern, so its visual contrast comes from engraving across the printed plank design rather than from a stated “[color] / black” construction. LoneStar notes that UV-printed patterns may require slightly higher laser power for finer details, making proper testing important for clean results.

For custom Painted Planks patches, neutral hat colors such as black, charcoal, cream, tan, or navy can help the printed pattern remain the focal point.

The Material Behind the Color

The Material Behind the Color

These patches are cut from LoneStar Adhesive's exclusive Premium Leatherette®, a thicker, laser-friendly material developed for reliable engraving and cutting. The material is approximately 0.059" / 1.5 mm thick, giving Print Phase a top-tier leatherette foundation for custom patch work. The exact pattern is available as Heritage Collection Painted Planks sheets.

Why the Heritage Collection?

Painted Planks belongs to the Heritage Collection and uses flexible UV-printed ink over Premium Leatherette®. The material is built for laser work and comes backed with American-made Durra-Bull™ heat-activated adhesive, combining a decorative printed surface with practical patch application. Because this is a printed pattern rather than a fixed two-tone color, engraving contrast can vary across the artwork.
