The order: 20 large PVC patches

The client ordered 20 PVC patches in a long 10″ × 3″ format, 2.5 mm thick, with sew-on backing. The design has a lot going on: a yellow winged emblem with crossed swords, a field of raised blue dots, flowing blue wave lines, a yellow border and the client's brand text.

Why PVC suits a design like this

PVC patches are molded from soft rubber, with each color filled into its own section of the mold. That's what lets fine raised details, like hundreds of small dots, stand out cleanly instead of blending together. PVC is also waterproof and holds its shape. At 2.5 mm thick, a patch this long stays firm and flat once it's sewn on.

Mockup, mold and sample

Every PVC order follows the same steps: a digital mockup for approval, then the mold is cut and a physical sample is made, and we send a video proof before full production begins.

What this means for your order

  • Small runs are welcome. 20 pieces of a large PVC patch is a normal order for us. See PVC patches.
  • Detailed artwork works in PVC: raised dots, fine lines and multiple colors.
  • Your name stays private. We blurred this client's brand and name before publishing, and we do the same for every order.
