Custom TPU patches

TPU patches, also known as TPU badges or TPU emblems, are patches made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). TPU can also be found in clothes, and is often used as a substitute for leather, without actually being derived from an animal.

TPU is a versatile and durable material. Items are produced using a vacuum (mold) press. The press operates by creating a vacuum between a mold and a heated plastic sheet. The vacuum pulls the plastic sheet into the mold, where it is then heated and shaped into the desired object. The result is a custom patch with a textured surface, adding a distinctive and stylish element to your clothing.

TPU patches present an ideal option for various reasons. They allow for the creation of custom designs, incorporation of intricate company logos, and enhancement of garments. Additionally, TPU patches provide numerous other advantages:

• Durable and flexible - The patches are crafted from sturdy material capable of enduring wear and tear. Moreover, they exhibit exceptional flexibility, enabling them to adapt to different shapes and sizes without cracking or compromising their integrity. This guarantees long-lasting enjoyment of a TPU patch.
• Resistance - Their strength makes them highly resistant to severe weather and chemicals, rendering them ideal for outdoor and challenging environments.
• Intricate designs - Intricate designs, including complex colors and metallic effects, can be printed to enhance aesthetic appeal.
• Feel and Appearance - They possess tactile features with raised or recessed patterns, providing a high-end appearance.

Another significant benefit of TPU patches is their lightweight nature, making them highly advantageous for application on garments and accessories where weight is a concern. TPU patches can be effortlessly applied to various materials using heat and pressure, Dutch Label Shop offering two application methods.

• Sew on - Your design has a sturdy, textile backing to sew the patch onto clothing or other fabrics with needle and thread.
• Iron on - An adhesive layer is added to your design. You can heat the back with an iron to attach to clothing.

TPU patches are an excellent choice for various applications, including clothing, accessories, outdoor equipment and more. They are most commonly used on uniforms, but also for jackets, carnival costumes, caps, backpacks, and more. Keep in mind that for each piece, the colors and size might differ. No worries, though: you will be notified of this and of the costs when you upload your designs.
