Custom PVC Patches in the USA: 2D vs 3D Rubber

PVC patches are molded rubber, not thread. They stay waterproof on bags, morale patches, and outdoor gear.

Quick answer: custom PVC patches are molded rubber. Choose flat 2D PVC for color-blocked logos and 3D PVC when you want raised, sculpted depth. GetUSAPatches produces both in the United States with a 5-piece minimum and USD pricing.

2D PVC vs 3D PVC

2D PVC is flat with molded or printed color. 3D PVC is multi-level so the logo has real depth you can feel. Morale patches and outdoor brands often pick 3D. Either style can take Velcro so you can swap patches between gear.

Backing that works with rubber

Order Velcro hook, Velcro loop, hook-and-loop, sew-on, sticker, or a safety pin. Iron-on is not typical. Heat can damage PVC. If you need iron-on apparel patches, use embroidered or woven instead.

Who orders PVC in the USA

Outdoor brands, departments, motorcycle clubs, and teams that put patches on bags and hats. If the patch will see rain or mud, PVC outlasts thread. Compare samples in the gallery and USD ranges on pricing.
