Structured moulding
Define compound, hardness and service target.
Moulded material board
PVC vs Silicone Patches
PVC vs silicone patches cannot be decided by appearance alone. Compare compound, hardness, thickness, relief, colour, backing, garment placement and market-specific evidence in one approved specification.
Soft tactile moulding
Define formulation, feel and surface target.
Decision board
Use measurable product requirements
Hand feel
Approve a physical hardness and thickness reference.
Relief
Number height levels and minimum gaps.
Environment
Define abrasion, flex, temperature and exposure.
Evidence
Name restricted substances and market scope.
Moulded references
Inspect related soft, raised and transfer constructions
Compound and feel
Translate soft, firm and flexible into samples
Words are subjective. Compare retained references made at the target size, relief and thickness.
Hardness
Agree a target or physical limit sample.
Recovery
Bend and release the finished patch.
Surface
Approve matte, gloss and texture.
Relief engineering
Control height without losing logo detail
Use a vector master with a numbered relief key and true-size view.
- Minimum line, gap and counter
- Raised and recessed height map
- Border, corner and edge profile
Attachment paths
Choose the backing from garment and service
Sew channel
Reserve a perimeter for mechanical stitching.
Heat apply
Validate adhesive and press recipe on garment.
Hook-and-loop
Define mating field, coverage and edge.
Direct integration
Review moulding or assembly into the product.
Evidence scope
Request documents for the actual compound
A generic statement is not a substitute for product, material and market scope.
Material identity
Compound reference, colour and supplier lot.
Requirement
Named regulation, customer standard or restricted list.
Report scope
Sample description, method, date and result.
Change control
Trigger for retest or renewed declaration.
Quality plan
Inspect appearance, dimensions and function
Visual
Colour, contamination, fill and surface.
Dimensional
Size, thickness, relief and edge.
Attachment
Bond, stitch zone or mating performance.
Use
Flex, abrasion and required care.

View product →What is the difference between PVC and silicone patches?
They are different polymer systems with distinct formulation, feel and processing. Define the required performance and verify the supplied compound evidence.
Which material feels softer?
Hand feel depends on formulation, hardness, thickness, relief and backing. Compare approved samples built to the intended dimensions.
Can PVC and silicone patches have 3D relief?
Both can use dimensional construction, subject to process limits for height, spacing, colour boundaries and edge definition.
Can these patches be heat applied?
Heat-applied constructions may be available. Validate adhesive and press settings on the actual garment fabric and finish.
How should compliance be discussed?
Name the market and restricted-substance requirement, then request current scope-matched reports, declarations and material traceability.
What should a moulded patch RFQ include?
Provide artwork, dimensions, relief map, colours, hardness or feel target, backing, placement, garment, quantities and evidence requirements.
Compare compounds in the finished patch shape
Send artwork, dimensions, relief, garment, backing, quantities and required evidence.
