Custom PVC Patches for Hats, Uniforms | Rubber Patches Wholesale

The first step is to get an idea or artwork for your patch. After the design is approved, a special mold will be developed for each design, and a layer of liquid PVC will be poured into the mold and gradually stacked until the design is raised. Then, the patch is dried, cut, checked for color match, and fitted with your chosen backing options.

PVC patches are made from a moldable plastic that creates bold, 3D designs with vibrant colors and a glossy finish, ideal for bags, jackets, and tactical gear. Rubber patches use a softer, more flexible material with a matte, textured look, making them better suited for caps, uniforms, and sportswear. Both are durable and weather-resistant, with PVC offering slightly more rigidity for detailed designs, and rubber providing greater flexibility for curved or stretchable surfaces.

Transparent PVC patches are made using clear or translucent PVC material instead of solid, opaque colors. This allows light to pass through the patch, creating a subtle “see-through” or frosted-glass effect around the design elements, while the printed or molded details remain visible in color. Like standard PVC patches, they retain the durability, flexibility, and weather resistance of regular PVC, and can be combined with opaque colors in the same patch for contrast.

We accommodate small personal orders and large wholesale runs alike. The minimum quantity for PVC patches is 30 pieces per design.

We have a variety of backings that include Velcro (hook and loop), sew-on, iron-on, heat transfer, and adhesive, depending on how you would like to put your patches on the hats, bags, backpacks, or uniforms.

Usually, most orders are produced in 4-5 working days depending upon the quantity and design, after the artwork is approved by you. Shipping takes place rather quickly within the USA, while it is also reliable worldwide, with specific delivery periods being confirmed during the quotation process.

Absolutely. Custom PVC patches we produce are water-resistant, fade-resistant, and crack-resistant, which is one of the reasons why PVC patches are very popular for hats, caps, beanies, bags, and backpacks that people wear daily.

Both patches are the best options depending on application. Embroidered patches are best for uniforms, bold, simple designs, large text, and a classic, raised-texture look while PVC patches are best for outdoor gear, tactical applications, and high-wear items because they are durable, waterproof, and weather-resistant.
