Rubber Patches

PVC Patch Design Specifications:

Creating exceptional PVC patches starts with precise design planning. At AL-WASSIU INDUSTRY , we guide you through crucial design decisions that determine your patch’s final appearance and functionality.

Size Selection:

Use Case	Optimal Patch Size Range
Apparel and Clothing Applications	2-3 inches
Military/Police/Fire Departments	4-5 inches
Corporate Identity and Logos	3-3.5 inches

 

Color Matching Process:

PVC patch color accuracy demands precise matching techniques. Our color selection process follows strict guidelines:

1. Match colors using physical Pantone Formula Guide (coated) under cool white fluorescent lighting (4100° K)
2. Document specific Pantone codes for production consistency
3. Standard designs accommodate up to 4 distinct colors
4. Avoid screen-based color selection
5. Ability to create subtle color gradients for advanced designs

Design Requirements:

Your PVC patch artwork needs specific technical considerations:

1. Minimum element thickness: 0.3mm for accurate mold reproduction.
2. Maximum border thickness: 1mm for proper attachment.
3. Text elements maintain clarity at small sizes.
4. Color sections require recessed lines instead of gradients.
5. Patch shape and patch size must be carefully considered for optimal design.

Our design team uses professional vector software to ensure your artwork meets manufacturing specifications. While Adobe Illustrator serves as our primary tool, we also support vector files from various other design platforms like Corel Draw.

Remember, PVC patch designs excel at crisp, defined elements rather than subtle gradients. This characteristic helps create the bold and vibrant appearance that makes PVC patches stand out for any application. We can provide a PVC patch mockup to help visualize your final design before production.
