Hybrid Rubber/PVC + UV Printing
Our signature capability. A plain PVC or rubber base is molded from an in-house CNC engraved die, then UV printed directly onto the rubber surface.
Pure PVC molding cannot create gradients — colour is limited to flat, bordered fields. The hybrid process removes that limit while keeping the durability and feel of a real rubber patch.

The tactical standard. Hook sewn or heat-welded to the patch, loop on the garment — swap patches in seconds. Ideal for military, law enforcement, security and MC use.
A plain or bordered back designed to be stitched down permanently. The strongest long-term attachment and the preferred option for uniforms and workwear that see industrial laundering.
A heat-activated adhesive film applied to the reverse. Fast application on cotton and poly-cotton; recommended as a positioning aid with a stitch for garments in heavy rotation.
