Need Rugged Patches? Choose PVC

If you need custom patches that can stand up to just about any weather, field conditions or wear, go for PVC

Are you looking for something new in custom patches? If you want patches that really stand out, with high detail and rugged enough to stand up to just about any weather conditions, consider PVC patches.

As an alternative to more traditional woven or embroidered patches, custom PVC patches are a revelation. Because they’re molded rather than sewn, they can take just about anything you (or Mother Nature) can dish out.

PVC patches are perfect for morale patches. With the (optional) Velcro® attachment, they can be put on and taken off quickly, and transferred easily between garments. They’re an ideal way to make a statement, and to turn that statement off when you need to.

Benefits of PVC Patches

PVC patches are made of polyvinyl chloride, a plastic very similar to soft rubber. With no stitching, it can’t unravel. With printed designs, it can carry far more intricate, photo-realistic designs than embroidered or woven styles. If you need to reproduce a particular design or logo exactly, PVC is the way to go.

With a design that’s waterproof and won’t crack or fade, custom PVC patches are perfect of rough environments too. They’re the patch that won’t give up, even after you do.

We have the flexibility to craft PVC custom patches in virtually any shape and size you need. And we can use plenty of color to make your design stand out. You actually can have photo-realistic image quality with PVC.

Pretty much the only limitation of this patch style is that it can’t be ironed on. You’ll have to either sew them on, use Velcro or tape. The sew on and Velcro (hook and loop) fasteners offer a permanent attachment. Tape works best for short-term, temporary attachment, such as for conferences, trade shows, concerts and the like.

Of course, embroidered and woven patch styles still have their place as well. If you’re not certain which style works best for your needs, give us a call. We’re happy to help. At TJM Promos we are your Number One source for top quality custom patches of all kinds!
