Flat artwork. Not-so-flat patch.
Give the design another dimension.
PVC patches don’t have to reproduce your artwork on a single level. Raise the important details, recess the background and use different heights to make the design physically more interesting.
Push the background back
Recessed areas create separation between different parts of the artwork and add natural depth.
Build in different levels
Use multiple heights to create layers within the design rather than treating everything as either simply raised or flat.
Cut around the artwork
Make the outline part of the design with a custom shape built around your logo, mascot or illustration.
Moulded PVC detailThe good stuff
Flexible. Colourful. Surprisingly detailed.
Custom PVC patches swap thread for soft, flexible rubber, opening up a completely different set of possibilities for your artwork.
Minimum order
Start from just 20 patches, whether you’re creating a small specialist run or ordering in volume.
Free artwork
Send us your logo, illustration or rough idea and we’ll prepare the production design.
Typical lead time
Standard production is usually 3–4 weeks after artwork approval.
Free delivery
Delivery is included with every order.
Raised details
Bring lettering, logos, borders and important features forward from the surrounding surface.
Custom colours
Use multiple colours to recreate branding, characters and bold graphic artwork.
Bespoke shapes
Follow the outline of your design rather than putting everything inside a standard rectangle.
Backing options
Choose an attachment method that works with your clothing, equipment, bags or other application.
Your artwork doesn’t have to stay flat.
PVC gives us something embroidery, weaving and printing can’t quite replicate: the ability to use the surface itself as part of the artwork.
Raised logos
Lift the main branding above the background and give it physical presence.
Recessed backgrounds
Push larger areas backwards to create separation and contrast.
Raised lettering
Give names, initials and short pieces of text their own level within the design.
Borders
Build a raised outer edge around the patch to frame the artwork.
Layered characters
Use different heights to separate features within mascots and illustrated designs.
Surface details
Small raised and recessed elements can introduce texture without adding another colour.
Make it removable. Or don’t.
The right backing depends on where your PVC patches are going and whether they’re staying there.
Sew-on
Attach the patch permanently by stitching it directly onto suitable clothing, bags or other fabric items.
Hook & loop
A particularly useful option when patches need to be removed, swapped or repositioned on compatible surfaces.
Adhesive
Self-adhesive options may be suitable for certain temporary or specialist applications.

Before you ask
Questions about custom PVC patches.
Materials, raised details, colours, backings and everything else you might want to know before turning your artwork into rubber.
What are PVC patches?+
PVC patches are flexible rubber patches where the design is formed using coloured PVC rather than thread or print.
Different areas can be raised or recessed, allowing the surface itself to create depth within the artwork.
Are PVC patches the same as rubber patches?+
The terms are often used interchangeably when people are looking for this style of flexible patch.
If you’re searching for custom rubber patches, PVC is likely the type of product you have in mind.
Can you make PVC patches with my logo?+
Absolutely.
We can turn company logos, club crests, symbols, characters and other suitable artwork into custom PVC logo patches.
Send us your existing design and we’ll prepare it for production.
Can PVC patches be custom shaped?+
Yes.
Custom-shaped PVC patches can follow the outline of your logo, character, symbol or other artwork rather than being restricted to circles and rectangles.
Can PVC patches have raised details?+
Yes—and it’s one of the main reasons to choose PVC.
Different elements of the design can sit at different heights, allowing logos, lettering, borders and other details to stand out from recessed areas.
Are PVC patches 3D?+
PVC patches can incorporate different levels of raised and recessed detail, giving the design physical depth.
The exact construction depends on the artwork and the effect you’re trying to create, so we’ll work out the levels as part of the design process.
Can you make 2D PVC patches?+
Yes. A design doesn’t need lots of complicated levels to work well.
Bold artwork with clearly defined raised and recessed areas can create a clean, effective 2D PVC patch.
How many colours can a PVC patch have?+
Multiple colours can be incorporated into a PVC patch.
The practical number and arrangement will depend on the artwork, so send us the original design and we’ll advise on the best way to reproduce it.
Can you match our brand colours?+
We’ll work from supplied colour references when preparing your patch design.
If particular brand colours are important, include those references with your enquiry.
Can PVC patches have small text?+
Yes, within practical limits.
Letters need enough width and spacing to remain clear when formed in PVC. We’ll check any small wording at the intended patch size and recommend adjustments if necessary.
Are PVC patches waterproof?+
PVC itself doesn’t absorb water in the same way as a woven fabric patch, which makes it particularly useful for items likely to encounter wet or outdoor conditions.
The performance of the finished item can also depend on the backing, attachment method and what the patch is attached to, so tell us about the intended use if weather resistance is important.
Are PVC patches durable?+
PVC is a flexible material that lends itself well to patches intended for regular handling and outdoor use.
The overall durability of the finished application will also depend on how the patch is attached and the conditions it’s used in.
Can PVC patches be sewn onto clothing?+
Yes. PVC patches can be produced for sew-on applications.
We’ll make sure the design and edge are suitable for the intended attachment method.
Can PVC patches have hook-and-loop backing?+
Yes. PVC hook-and-loop patches are a popular option when designs need to be removable or interchangeable.
They’re particularly useful for compatible uniforms, bags and equipment.
Can you make PVC patches for uniforms?+
Yes.
Custom PVC uniform patches can feature logos, names, identifiers and other artwork, with removable backing options available where appropriate.
Are PVC patches good for outdoor clothing and equipment?+
Their flexible construction and resistance to moisture make PVC worth considering for outdoor clothing, bags and equipment.
Tell us where the patch will be used and we’ll help determine an appropriate construction and backing.
Can you make PVC patches for clothing brands?+
Absolutely.
PVC can create a very different finish from conventional embroidery, making it useful for clothing brands that want a modern, dimensional logo patch for garments, hats, bags and accessories.
Can PVC patches feature characters and mascots?+
Yes.
Bold characters and mascots can work particularly well because different colours and raised levels can be used to separate facial features, outlines, lettering and other parts of the artwork.
What’s the difference between PVC and embroidered patches?+
Embroidered patches build the artwork from thread, giving them a traditional stitched texture.
PVC patches use flexible rubber-like material and can incorporate raised and recessed areas, giving them a cleaner, more dimensional appearance.
The right option depends on the artwork and finish you’re trying to achieve.
What’s the difference between PVC and woven patches?+
Woven patches use fine threads and are particularly useful when artwork contains small lettering and intricate line detail.
PVC patches have a completely different material finish and are better suited when bold colours, clean shapes and physical depth are important parts of the design.
Do I need production-ready artwork?+
No.
Send us your logo, illustration, sketch or best available design and we’ll prepare the artwork for PVC production.
Artwork preparation and revisions are included.
Can you help design the raised and recessed areas?+
Yes. You don’t need to work out the different levels yourself.
We’ll look at your artwork and suggest which elements should be raised, recessed or kept on the same level to create a balanced design.
What is the minimum order for custom PVC patches?+
Our minimum order starts from just 20 patches, making smaller runs possible for brands, clubs and specialist projects as well as larger orders.
How long do custom PVC patches take?+
Standard production is typically 3–4 weeks after artwork approval.
If you need the patches for a launch, event or another fixed date, tell us when requesting your quote so we can factor the deadline into production.
A little more detail
Why choose custom PVC patches?
Thread is great. But sometimes your artwork would rather be rubber.
Custom PVC patches take a completely different approach to embroidered and woven designs. Instead of building the artwork from stitches, the design is formed in flexible PVC, giving you clean blocks of colour and the ability to physically raise or recess different elements.
That’s where things get interesting.
A logo can sit above its background. Lettering can be raised onto another level. Borders can frame the entire design. Characters can use different depths to separate features that would otherwise rely purely on colour.
The result is a patch that doesn’t just look different.
It feels different too.
This makes custom rubber logo patches particularly effective for bold branding, characters, symbols and artwork with clearly defined shapes.
The material also lends itself naturally to bespoke outlines. Rather than putting your design inside a standard rectangle, custom-shaped PVC patches can follow the silhouette of the artwork itself.
Then there’s the practical side.
Because PVC doesn’t absorb moisture like a textile surface, it can be particularly useful for patches intended for outdoor clothing, bags and equipment.
Combine that with a hook-and-loop backing and you’ve got a removable patch that can be swapped between compatible surfaces when required.
Or keep things permanent with a sew-on construction.
PVC isn’t automatically the right answer for every design, though.
If your artwork relies on extremely fine lettering and intricate line work, a woven patch may make more sense. If you want the unmistakable texture of stitching, embroidery is probably where we’d start.
PVC earns its place when colour, shape, clean definition and physical depth are the important bits.
And you don’t need to convert your artwork into layers before contacting us.
Send us the original design and we’ll work out how it should translate into PVC. We’ll decide which details should come forward, which should sit back, how the colours should be separated and what shape and backing suit the finished patch.
The aim is to use the material properly—not just recreate a flat image in rubber.
Our minimum order starts from just 20 custom PVC patches, with artwork and revisions included. Standard production is typically 3–4 weeks after artwork approval, and delivery is included too.
So whether you’re searching for custom PVC patches with your own logo, custom rubber patches, 3D PVC patches, hook-and-loop PVC patches, PVC uniform patches, custom-shaped rubber patches or branded PVC patches for clothing and equipment, send us the artwork and we’ll help give it another dimension.
