Thinking of creating your own pvc patch? There are a few options to consider when placing an order for custom PVC patches. Deciding on 2D vs 3D is one of the biggest questions asked as it will determine if your design will have a sculpted look or a two-dimensional look. Since there is a thin separation between each color the next question is choosing the colors followed by sizing and backing.
What is PVC? It is a type of plastic that resembles soft rubber, that is known for its strength and is lightweight, making it the perfect material to create a pvc patch.

Two-Dimensional – Two-dimensional logos have multiple level surfaces, separating the different levels in your art through a layering technique that results in raised and recessed areas. This 2D effect is great for clean, simple designs, for logo patches with multiple shades of vibrant color and where the raised and recessed ridges work positively with the overall aesthetic of your creation.
3 Dimensional – Like the two-dimensional creations, three-dimensional art has multiple leveled surfaces and accommodates a wide variety of styles. But unlike 2D, our 3D images are rounded, with the varying colors that are capable of being on the same plane. The raises and recessions are not rigid, and the elements within your artwork can take on more life-like characteristics. The 3D technique is perfect for adding greater detail that a rounded or sculpted effect helps to achieve. Examples include facial details and landscapes, but working with one of our designers to decide the optimal effect will make this choice easy.
