What are PVC rubber patches used for?
PVC rubber patches are waterproof, durable moulded patches (2D or 3D) used by tactical, outdoor, marine and workwear brands. They are popular as velcro morale patches and never fray or fade.
Detail
PVC (soft rubber) patches are moulded rather than stitched, giving a waterproof, hard-wearing patch with bold colour and optional 3D depth. They are the standard for tactical gear, plate carriers, backpacks, outdoor and marine apparel, and workwear. Options include glow-in-the-dark and reflective effects, and velcro backing for swappable morale patches. Mughal Apparel moulds custom 2D and 3D PVC patches to your design.
