Hey! this company is terrific! We commissioned a rubber patch, got great guidance from the rep and had a nice product in a short time. I'd give more than five stars but Google is so limiting.

Customization Options

Pick the exact size and shape you want, then push the artwork with near-unlimited color matching so your PVC products look like they came straight from your art. Whether you go 2D and clean or full 3D with fine details and a rounded look, custom PVC patches come out crisp, clear, and ready for gear or apparel.

Custom Size & Shape

Forget boring squares—your PVC patches can follow the outline of your logo, character, or gear, down to the corner. Every new patch gets its own precision-cut steel mold to match your dimensions and fine details. Custom shapes and sizes are included in pricing, so there’s no extra fee for getting creative with the outline.

Unlimited Color

Most customers use 2 to 8 colors for easy readability, and that’s just the start. If you need more color to match packaging, jerseys, or merch, we can go past that range while keeping everything clean. Go subtle with a few tones or go all-out with a full-color patch.
Custom PVC patch example image

2D or 3D PVC Options

Think of 2D soft PVC as stacked levels: raised details with recessed backgrounds that keep every line easy to read. Go 3D for curved features, domed elements, and a sculpted profile that catches light from every angle. Both look great, and our team can recommend one during ordering.

Backing Options

Choose hook-and-loop (hook + loop, or hook only), adhesive for sew-on work, no backing, or iron-on / heat-press styles. Magnets are an option too for fridges, lockers, or cabinets. Send a quick quote request and we’ll help you pick what fits your use.

Durability

PVC patches take hits from rain, mud, sweat, and daily wear. They bend without cracking and snap back to shape. They won’t fray like thread styles, so they stay clean-looking for the long haul. Perfect for gear that gets used.
Custom PVC patch example image

Sew-on for Hats

When we sew PVC patches onto hats, we often use adhesive backing to keep the patch from shifting under the needle. Each patch can include a sew channel that gives a clear path to follow, even for first-timers. We can build the full hat, or you can order patches only and attach them in-house.
Custom PVC patch example image

Specialized Options

Need gradients, tiny text, or camo textures that molding can’t handle? We can print over the PVC for extra detail. Add glow-in-the-dark, metallic looks, or glitter for merch drops that need a little flash. Tactical patches don’t have to look plain.
PRO TIPS

Quick Video: How to Nail Your PVC Patch Design

Quick checklist

Four quick rules to remember

  • Timeline Know your “need-by” date, then work backwards for proofing, production, and shipping.
  • Size test Mock it up at final size. If tiny text is hard to read, revise the design before production.
  • Color rules PVC patches are typically done with solid colors and we match solid coated Pantone colors.
  • Attachment / backing Confirm how the patch will be applied with sewn, iron-on, adhesive, or hook-and-loop.

Other Custom Patch Types

Beyond PVC, we build embroidered patches, woven patches, leather patches, chenille patches, and hat ready designs so your brand is covered on every surface. You might run tactical morale patches on vests and packs, then lean on chenille or leather for spirit wear and retail merch. Our team guides you every step of the way so you never have to guess which patch type to choose.

2D vs 3D

2D vs 3D PVC Patches: What’s the Difference?

This video clears up the confusion on 2D vs. 3D PVC patches. Both styles are raised, just in different ways.

  • ● 2D PVC: clean, flat layers for sharp logos, text, and simple icons.
  • ● 3D PVC: rounded or sculpted layers that add depth and uniqueness.
  • ● Same tough build: waterproof PVC, crisp edges, and backing options like hook-and-loop.
Send your artwork and we’ll recommend 2D or 3D (or both).

Our low minimum order starts at just 50 patches per design, so you can test a new idea without loading up on thousands of pieces.

Most orders move through production in about 3 to 4 weeks, roughly 15 to 20 business days from final approval. If you need patches sooner, ask about our rush options, and we will see what kind of timeline we can hit.

We require digital artwork approval on every order, so you will always see a detailed proof before your patches, coins, or custom PVC patch hats go into production. For projects that need a physical check, we can begin with a preproduction sample for an extra charge, with a longer lead time to account for that extra step.

We do not lock you into one file type, we can work from AI, EPS, high resolution PNG, or JPG. A vector file type like AI or EPS usually gives the fastest proof turnaround, but we keep everything easy from upload to final proof and will work with whatever you have.

A PVC patch is made from polyvinyl chloride, a soft, flexible plastic that feels a lot like rubber in your hand. It is tough, weather friendly, and perfect for tactical patches that see real use on hats, packs, and uniforms.

Embroidered patches use stitched thread, so you get a textured, slightly raised look that feels classic. Woven patches trade that texture for tighter detail and smaller text. Sublimated patches work more like a printed photo, while PVC gives you soft rubber depth and durability, perfect for heavy use pieces like tactical patches. If you are unsure what patch is best, ask our team for samples. We are happy to send a sample package with free shipping (within the United States only).

Absolutely. In addition to patches, we produce PVC keychains, PVC bag tags, PVC luggage tags, PVC magnets, PVC coasters, and PVC ornaments. You can even step it up with fully 3D PVC keychains that give your design a little sculpted character.

Pricing for custom PVC patches is based on the size, quantity, number of colors, and backing style you choose. Since every project is built to order, the best way to get real numbers is to fill out the quote form and our team will respond fast.

Start by filling out a quick quote request form, drop in your art or idea, and our sales team will jump on it. We send a free patch proof for you to review before anything goes into production. Once you approve, we roll your order into the schedule with a fast turnaround time.

Yes, you can heat-apply custom PVC patches to apparel or hats, and we recommend using a heat press with top and bottom heat for the best bond. Check out this video for more details.
