    Custom PVC Patches

    Moulded rubber instead of thread. PVC patches are fully waterproof, shrug off abrasion, hold sharper edges than embroidery, and take colours no thread chart offers — including fluorescents and glow-in-the-dark. The standard choice for tactical, outdoor and marine gear, and the reason morale patches are almost always PVC.

    Genuinely waterproof

    Embroidery soaks up water, dries slowly and eventually frays. PVC wipes clean and doesn't care — marine, fishing, ski, emergency services.

    2D or 3D moulding

    2D keeps everything on one plane with raised dividers between colours. 3D varies height across the patch for contoured, layered designs.

    Crisp small detail

    Moulding holds sharper geometry and thinner lines than embroidery, and doesn't fray at the edges under abrasion.

    Holds shape on velcro

    PVC's stiffness keeps a morale patch flat on a hook-and-loop panel where a soft embroidered patch curls at the corners.

    How it works

    1

    Send artwork and quantity

    Quantity matters more here than with other patch types — each design needs its own mould, so pricing shifts sharply with volume.

    2

    Approve proof and mould spec

    We confirm 2D or 3D, colours against a PVC chart, and show a proof before tooling.

    3

    We mould and ship

    Produced to spec and shipped with tracking.
