What Are PVC Patches?
PVC patches are made from soft, rubber-like material molded into clean shapes and raised designs. They are known for:
- Long-lasting durability
- Bold 2D or 3D details
- Weather and waterproof resistance
- Vibrant colors
- Easy application on garments and gear
These patches are perfect for outdoor apparel, uniforms, accessories, and branded merchandise where fabric patches may not last long.
