Face plane
The visible field carries colour zones, lettering and texture. A 2D PVC patch uses flat levels; a 3D PVC patch can use rounded or stepped surfaces.

Soft PVC Rubber Patches
Build a soft PVC patch as a three-dimensional component: face geometry, compound and attachment must work together. We manufacture custom PVC patches and moulded PVC logo patches for apparel, bags, uniforms and equipment, with 2D or 3D relief and project-specific backing.
Geometry2D lines or graduated 3D relief
InterfaceSew, hook-and-loop or heat seal
OrderMOQ confirmed per mould and colourway
ApprovalCoded physical sample before bulk
Mould cutaway
Define the object before selecting the backing
A PVC rubber patch is a freestanding moulded part. These three construction zones control whether small type stays readable and the edge survives handling.
Relief map
Every raised, recessed and shared boundary receives a dimension. Narrow counters and sharp corners are reviewed at actual finished size.
Perimeter
The outer wall sets the silhouette, handling feel and available stitch channel. Unnecessary points can weaken a small moulded edge.
- Compound
- Supplier designation, requested softness or hardness, finish and compliance requirements.
- Finished geometry
- Width, height, total thickness, relief heights, border width and orientation.
- Colour schedule
- Reference for every zone, translucent or opaque intent, and acceptable matching method.
- Reverse construction
- Flat reverse, stitch channel, paired hook-and-loop or heat-activated film.
- Variant allocation
- Quantity by colour, size, backing and packing code rather than one combined total.
- Receiving product
- Garment or accessory material, placement, care route and intended service environment.
MOQ and costing model
Price follows mould work and production complexity
A low MOQ request is reviewed against the exact construction. The written quote should show which variables apply to the proposed quantity tiers.
Area
Finished footprint and material volume.
Depth
Relief levels and mould precision.
Colours
Separate pours and matching work.
Backing
Added interface and assembly.
Splits
Sizes, colourways and pack groups.
Freight
Carton plan and destination.
Artwork control
Give the mould maker measurable instructions
Supply editable vector art plus a separate relief drawing. A visual mockup helps communicate intent, but the production proof needs dimensions and codes.
FRONT_VIEW.aiVisible geometry
Exact wording, outline, positive and negative space, colour zones and true-size view.
RELIEF_MAP.pdfHeight instructions
Number each level and mark raised, recessed, rounded and textured areas.
BACK_VIEW.pdfAttachment layout
Show stitch route, hook-and-loop coverage or heat-seal footprint and clear margins.
REVISION_LOG.txtChange control
Identify artwork version, date, sample code and the person authorizing the next stage.
Sample gates
Approve function in a fixed sequence
Lead time depends on proof revisions, mould preparation, sample evaluation, quantity and packing. Ask for dates against each gate in the quotation.
Drawing release
Dimensions, levels and colours are signed off for mould preparation.
First moulding
Check legibility, surface, flex, perimeter and colour separation.
Backing build
The selected reverse construction is added to an identified sample.
Product trial
Apply to the intended garment or accessory and inspect the interface.
Bulk authority
Record sample code, approved tolerances, quantity split and packing.
Wear and wash protocol
Test the complete patch system
Edge
Inspect tears, lift and stitch-channel damage.
Face
Compare relief, abrasion and colour migration.
Backing
Check bond coverage, distortion and residue.
Garment
Look for press marks, puckering and care changes.
Attachment selector
Match the reverse to the receiving product
Sew-on
For permanent attachment where the product allows clean needle access. Specify the stitch channel and thread path.
Hook-and-loop
For replaceable identification on uniforms, tactical bags and organized kits. State which mating side is supplied and its coverage.
Heat seal
Use after a press trial establishes time, temperature, pressure, peel method and cooling for the exact product.

Material decision
Use soft PVC when the logo needs its own body
A standalone moulded badge gives depth and an independent backing. For a thinner garment-integrated construction, compare TPU embossed logo patches and 3D silicone heat transfer patches.
| Need | Review first |
|---|---|
| Removable identity | Soft PVC with hook-and-loop |
| Stitched permanent badge | Soft PVC with sew channel |
| Very low-profile mark | TPU or film transfer construction |
| Soft raised transfer | Silicone heat transfer construction |
Procurement questions
Soft PVC patch FAQ
What separates a 2D moulded PVC patch from a 3D patch?
A 2D mould uses one raised face level with recessed dividing lines. A 3D mould uses graduated heights or rounded relief. The approved relief drawing should name every height, not rely on a rendered preview alone.
Can soft PVC patches be sewn onto clothing?
Yes. A sew channel or stitchable perimeter can be built into the construction. Confirm needle access, border width and stitch position on the intended garment before bulk production.
Are hook-and-loop and heat-seal backings available?
Both can be evaluated. Hook-and-loop suits removable identification, while heat seal needs a garment-specific press trial. Backing availability and compatibility are confirmed in the written quote.
How should colours be supplied for a custom PVC patch?
Assign a stable colour reference to every moulded zone and show the receiving product colour. Approve the physical sample under consistent light because compound, surface and depth can change perceived colour.
What controls the minimum order and price?
Finished area, relief complexity, colour count, mould setup, backing, variant split, packing and destination all affect the quotation. The applicable MOQ is confirmed per artwork and construction.
Can I request a reference sample before making a mould?
Use the Free Samples button with your target size, application and delivery country. The team will confirm available reference pieces and the separate route for a logo-specific mould sample.
