How PVC Patches Are Made: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Design Your Unique PVC Patch:
- Shape and Size: Decide on the shape (rectangular, round, or custom) and size of your patch.
- 2D vs. 3D: Choose between a flat design or a more sculpted 3D look.
- Colors and Borders: Create your design using solid colors (no gradients) and select border styles.
- Backings: Choose from sew-on, adhesive, Velcro, or magnetic backings.
2. Request a Quote:
- Submit Your Design: Get a free quote by sharing your artwork, size, quantity, and preferred backing.
- Approval: Review the digital mock-up of your PVC patch and request revisions if needed.
- Place Your Order: Once satisfied, proceed to order your custom patches.
3. Engrave a Custom Metal Mold:
- Copper Plate Creation: Based on your approved design, a copper plate is loaded into a CNC engraving machine.
- Engraving Process: The artwork is engraved onto the copper plate, creating cavities for the patch elements.
4. Inject PVC Material Layer by Layer:
- PVC Injection: The PVC material (Polyvinyl Chloride) is injected into the engraved cavities.
- Layered Process: The injection is done layer by layer, forming different design elements.
- Cooling: The patch cools down, solidifying the PVC material.
5. Attach the Backing:
- Choice of Backing: Depending on your preference, the appropriate backing (sew-on, adhesive, etc.) is attached.
- Quality Check: Inspect the patch for any imperfections or inconsistencies.
- Packaging: The finished PVC patches are packaged and prepared for delivery.
6. Enjoy Your Custom PVC Patches:
- Versatility: Attach your PVC patches to clothing, bags, hats, or any other item.
- Durability: PVC patches are waterproof, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear.
- Unique Branding: Showcase your logo, artwork, or message with pride.
