Product Description
Upgrade your gear with our UV-Printed TPU Patches. Each patch starts with a soft, flexible TPU base that is molded into your custom shape. We finish it with high-detail UV printing that delivers bold color, sharp lines, and optional raised textures that look and feel premium.
TPU is lighter, thinner, and softer than PVC, so your patches stay comfortable without the stiff or bulky feel. It is also a great alternative to metal badges. You get a sharp, high-end look without the weight, cost, or rigid edges.
We can match your exact PMS brand colors, including metallic-style gold and silver. If you want extra depth, we can add 3D details or an embossed effect. The final result is a clean, modern patch that stands out on any product and holds up in daily use.
Each patch starts with a custom-molded TPU base, giving you clean edges and consistent thickness. Then we UV-print your design and cure it instantly with ultraviolet light for bright, durable graphics that stay looking new, wash after wash.
These patches are flexible, durable, and weather-resistant. They work perfectly for uniforms, outerwear, backpacks, tactical gear, and apparel. You will see TPU patches on streetwear, outdoor brands, police and military gear, scout uniforms, and lifestyle merch because they look great, feel great, and are quick to produce.
Premium TPU Material
Made from thermoplastic polyurethane, also known as TPU. It is soft, flexible, and gives your patch a smooth, modern finish.
Multiple Fabric Base Options
Choose the feel you want. Options include twill, microfiber, velvet, felt, or woven labels depending on your style and application.
Glossy or Matte Surface
The standard finish is glossy, which gives the colors a clean and vibrant look. A matte finish is also available if you prefer a softer appearance.
Custom Sizes with Clean Detail
Recommended size is within 10 by 20 cm. The thinnest lines need to be at least 1.5 mm to keep the artwork sharp and readable.
Durable Thickness
The TPU base is 0.7 mm thick. After molding, the finished patch is usually 1.2 to 1.5 mm, giving it a solid feel without being heavy.
Wide Range of Colors
Available in pre-dyed solid colors like red, orange, yellow, and green. Metallic gold and silver are also available. Stock colors can vary based on availability.
Flexible Backing Options
Apply your patch the way you prefer. Options include iron-on, Velcro, or double adhesive backing.
