Design options
Build depth into your design.
A mold gives PVC rubber patches their shape and relief. Separate color areas help simple logos, bold lettering, and emblems stay easy to read.
- 2D or 3D relief
- Use flat levels for graphic artwork or ask about rounded detail for a sculpted look.
- Shape and size
- Choose a circle, shield, or an outline that follows your artwork. Measure the surface where the patch will go.
- Backing
- Tell us whether you need a removable patch for a loop panel or a permanent attachment. We can discuss what fits your project.
On the gear
Give everyday gear a signature.
Use PVC patches to identify a team, personalize a pack, or give a merch collection a recognizable emblem. If your design calls for a stitched texture, explore embroidered patches. For photo detail or gradients, consider printed patches.

Before you order
PVC patch questions
What are PVC patches made of?
PVC patches are made from flexible polyvinyl chloride molded into a shape. Raised areas and recessed channels give logos and lettering a distinct outline.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D PVC patches?
A 2D design uses flat surfaces at different heights, like steps. A 3D design uses rounded or sculpted surfaces for a more dimensional effect. Bold lettering often works well in 2D, while a mascot may benefit from sculpted detail.
Can PVC patches have hook-and-loop backing?
Hook-and-loop is useful when you want to swap patches on compatible gear. Tell us what the patch will attach to so we can review the backing with you.
What affects the price of custom PVC patches?
Size, quantity, artwork complexity, and backing all help define the project. Include those details in your quote request, along with any deadline you are working toward.
Do I need finished artwork or a minimum order?
There is no minimum order quantity. You can start with a logo, a sketch, or a description. We offer design assistance and proof revisions so you can review the artwork before production.
How do I choose the right patch size?
Measure the area where the patch will sit, including room around seams and zippers. If your design includes small lettering, share both the artwork and your target dimensions so we can review readability.
Can I use gradients or very fine lettering?
Molded PVC works best with distinct color areas and clear outlines. If smooth gradients or photographic details are central to your artwork, a printed patch may suit it better.
Can I review a proof before production?
Yes. Review the proof for layout, shape, lettering, and color placement. If something needs adjusting, request a revision before approving the design.
What should I include if I have a deadline?
Include the date you need the patches in hand and your delivery destination in your inquiry. We can review timing alongside the design and order details.
