Anyone who wants to make their own patch, commonly embroidered, now has many more options.
One of them is proving to be the best choice for standing out and highlighting your coat of arms or logo: we are talking about PVC patches. Resistant, durable and super-detailed, these patches can be classic, 3D or 'Glow in the dark', which achieve this effect thanks to their fluorescent paint.
Most people immediately imagine embroidery when it comes to making their own custom patch, but when you choose a PVC patch instead of the classic embroidered one, you open the door to a whole variety of different unique design options.
So if you want to try a 3D patch design or a design that glows in the dark, you should consider trying a customised PVC patch.
3D art
Let's take a closer look at 3D design versus traditional design for customised PVC patches. While traditional PVC patches feature layered art that emphasises the design and makes the text easy to read, 3D design goes one step further: here, the design becomes three-dimensional, with rounded edges, creating plays of light and shadow that make your patch a true piece of art that is sure to elicit admiration and compliments from onlookers.
The text, or design, on these PVC patches is 3D, giving them a bold look and a unique texture. As you can see, it features raised and engraved layers, with defined edges and a sculpted look. The possibilities with customised 3D PVC patches go far beyond creating them in three dimensions.

"GLOW IN THE DARK
If 3D alone is not enough for you, make them unique with fluorescent paint that will make them glow in the dark! These patches retain the crisp, clear design of traditional PVC patches, but when the lights go out, the art continues to glow. We helped design these patches for a client, with red, green and white embossed elements that stand out against the black PVC background. The art only becomes visible after dark, thanks to the luminous PVC that recharges with UV light during the day.
You can add luminous elements into your customised PVC patches in various different ways, from a discreet luminous effect to full coverage of the entire patch: just let us know your idea and we will find the best solution together.
PVC patches are becoming increasingly popular among various organisations around the world. They are ideal for outdoor use, as they are waterproof, cold-resistant and easy to clean. The clarity of the art on our PVC patches makes it easy to include text and small images. If you are looking for a customised design that stands out from the crowd, consider making a PVC patch, 3D or with glow-in-the-dark elements: it will certainly leave an unforgettable impression of your emblem.
