Durable PVC Patches
PVC patches are more popular than ever for a number of reasons. Their durability and resistance to fraying when in contact with Velcro or hook and loop backings is a primary consideration for product designers. This characteristic makes them popular for military uniforms or anytime Velcro is used. In addition, PVC patches won't absorb water or become waterlogged. This makes PVC patches a dependable choice for any outdoor-related items. Ideal for branding jackets, bags or other outdoor equipment, PVC patches offer a touch of style along with an enduring resilience, ready to perform for the lifetime of your products.

Why PVC Molds Matter?
Molds play a critical role in the production of PVC patches, impacting the pricing of these items. The initial creation of a mold is one of the most cost-intensive parts of manufacturing PVC patches. This is because the mold, typically made of metal, needs to be precisely crafted to match the desired design. Once a mold is created, it can be used repeatedly, making the per-unit cost of patches relatively low for higher quantities. However, any changes to the design require the creation of a new mold, which involves additional costs. Even minor alterations to the design can necessitate a completely new mold, leading to increased expenses.
PVC Patches and Versions
Customize your PVC patch with the ability to add color versions. Since we don't need to create a new mold for color changes, we offer the ability to add different color versions to your order. Unlike some other products, for PVC patches any changes to the text or design cannot quality as a version and must be placed as a separate order since a new mold is required. We charge a flat fee of $25 for each additional PVC color version.
Backing Options for PVC Patches
Choosing the right backing for your project can be overwhelming due to the variety of options available. Here's a simplified guide to five popular backing choices:- - No Backing: Included in our base pricing, this standard option is ideal for patches meant to be sewn onto fabrics.
- - Iron-On Backing: A favored choice for easy application. Use a heat press or iron to activate the glue on the patch's back, bonding it to your garment. Iron-on patches are not as enduring as sewn ones but can withstand several washes and attach permanently.
- - Peel & Stick Backing: Great for simplifying the sewing process. Just peel off the paper layer, place the patch on the fabric, and sew. It's a time-saver, eliminating the need for double-sided tape. This versatile backing also allows temporary attachment, transforming patches into unique embroidered stickers.
- Hook & Loop Backing: Long popular among military, law enforcement, and firefighters, this backing is gaining widespread appeal for its versatility.
- - Hook Side Only: Includes only the hook side (the rough part) securely sewn onto the patch. This ensures a strong attachment without detachment during frequent use. Ideal if you already have the loop side (the soft part).
- - Hook and Loop (Both Sides): Comes with both hook and loop sides. The hook side is securely attached to the patch, and you also receive the loop side, pre-cut to fit the patch. Sew the loop side onto your chosen item, then attach the patch with the hook backing.
