Choose PVC When

PVC is useful for bold molded shapes, gear patches, removable hook-and-loop systems and styles that need a rubber-like surface.

Choose Embroidery When

Embroidery is useful for classic fabric patches, uniforms, hats and merchandise where raised thread texture is part of the desired look.

Cost Factors

Final pricing depends on patch type, finished size, quantity, colors, design complexity, backing, border, sample requirements and shipping destination. Fixed price claims are not used.

Approval Step
