Why PVC Patches
Built for Conditions That Destroy Other Patches
Standard embroidered patches have a weakness — moisture. Rain, sweat, mud, and repeated washing eventually cause embroidered patches to fray, fade, and lose shape. PVC patches have none of these weaknesses.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a flexible, rubber-like plastic material that is completely impervious to water, UV light, and temperature extremes. PVC patches don't fade, crack, peel, or fray — ever. They maintain their shape, color, and texture for years under conditions that would destroy a standard embroidered patch.
The manufacturing process also allows for true three-dimensional designs with multiple raised layers, recessed areas, and color-filled sections that create a depth and visual impact impossible to achieve with flat embroidery.

Yes — PVC is a plastic material that is completely impervious to water. PVC patches can be submerged, rained on, or washed repeatedly without any effect on the patch. They are used extensively by military and law enforcement personnel for this reason.
Yes — PVC patches can be manufactured in any shape with no limitations. Because they are molded rather than cut, complex shapes like animals, logos, and custom outlines are all achievable. This makes PVC ideal for morale patches and creative designs.
Velcro (hook and loop) is actually the most popular backing for PVC patches — particularly for military and tactical use where patches need to be swapped quickly. We also offer sew-on, iron-on, and peel and stick options.
