Adding Print Over PVC

2D vs 3D PVC Patch Options

Our PVC patches are never fully flat. Both 2D and 3D have dimension and depth. 2D has simple raised and recessed areas, while 3D has a rounded or sculpted look. Here is a blog post going even deeper on 2D vs 3D PVC Patches.

Iron-on / Heat Press Backing

A dry sheet of glue added to the backside of the patch, that can be heat applied to attach to clothing for an easy application. This can be tricky to accomplish and a heat press with bottom heat is the best option for a secure adhesion.
