What makes the perfect rubber label: A short guide

Rubber labels, made with either PVC or silicone, are a high-quality alternative to a typical clothing label. These indestructible, vivid labels are a step above any other material in the world of labelling, making them a very popular choice across many industries.

In this blog post, we break down some of the most popular uses for rubber labels and why they are such a great alternative to a woven or even printed label.

Chunky and textured

Rubber labels have an average depth of around 1 &#; 5mm of thickness, making them thicker than any embroidered or woven label. You&#;d be very hard pressed to find any other label that matches that effect, especially if you are interested in a 3D rubber label. This added depth and thickness offers a premium feel that can&#;t be replicated by other materials.

Extremely durable

It&#;s hard to tear a silicone label, and they perform really well in extreme temperatures. You can even run an iron over a silicone label without any melting or loss of detail (just keep it under 220˚C).
This makes rubber labels the perfect choice for exterior branding where there are extreme weather conditions &#; think skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports. You&#;ll find many ski jackets with rubber logos and the logo will still look great after a few seasons of sub-zero temperatures and exposure to harsh sunlight.

Swimwear often uses rubber labels, too. Whether you&#;re labelling up trunks or full-body scuba suits, you will need a material that can handle consistent exposure to water. Chlorine and salt water can cause a fabric label to fade over time, so a rubber label is the most suitable option.

Bright and vivid

Silicone labels are poured from a mould in your exact brand colours. You get crisp corners on even the most delicate lettering, so contrasting colours stand out and logos look are represented perfectly. In contrast with woven labels, rubber labels are great for more intricate parts of a logo or where the need for perfect colours is paramount. Rubber labels are the gold standard for detail.

Three Types of PVC Patches

PVC Patch is an evolution of embroidered cloth. It is a PVC badge and a PVC label. PVC patch made of PVC soft rubber, it is very soft and not easy to be deformed, is not easy to fade, it is durable and it has a long service life. PVC patch also functions like an embroidery sticker and is mainly used as a clothing accessory.

1.Velcro PVC Patches

Velcro, the industry term is called the mother button. It is a kind of connecting accessory commonly used in luggage clothing. It is divided into two sides of the hook and loop: one side is a soft fiber, and the other side is an elastic fiber with a spur. When the loop and hook are interlocked, the elastic hook is straightened, loosened from the loop to open it, and then restored to the original hook type.

There are two general situations in the market for Velcro PVC patches: hook and loop fasteners PVC Patches and Loop PVC patches.

a.Hook and loop fasteners PVC Patches

We often call the Hook and loop fasteners PVC Patches as Velcro PVC patches. The double-sided Velcro comes with hook and loop fasteners, which was sewn with a hook piece behind the Velcro PVC patch and it also comes with a loop piece. The looped piece can be seen on the luggage and then the PVC patch with the hook piece can be attached to the loop pieces. The Hook and loop fasteners allow the PVC patches to be firmly attached to the garment, making the Velcro easy to separate and bond. The garment has a loop piece that can be replaced with different PVC patches with one hook piece. That is a single-sided hook PVC patch.

b.Hook fasteners PVC Patches

One-sided Velcro PVC patch only has a loop piece with no hook attached. Such a PVC patch can be attached to a woolen coat or a sweater, but since the plush of the garment is different from the loop piece, it is easy to damage the woolen garment. Therefore, you should pay attention to the materials when choosing to use them. Single-sided Velcro PVC patch eliminates the cost of round flakes. You only need to have a piece of hook piece, all the loop piece of PVC patches can be replaced at will, which saves the cost and has accessories that can change the clothing.

Usually, the hook pieces will be sewn on the PVC patches, and the loop pieces that are as soft as the clothing will be sewn on the clothes. Because the hook pieces are hard with hooks, they can damage the wool when machine-washed with the wool garment, so in most cases, we need to separate them for cleaning. The hook piece with a PVC patch only needs to be cleaned with water, and the loop piece can be washed together with the clothing.

2.Self-adhesive PVC Patches

Self-adhesive PVC patches, its front side is a PVC patch, and its backside is double-faced adhesive tape. Double-sided tape is disposable, so it can only be used once and cannot be reused. Such PVC patches are generally used as labels and stickers in packaging and products. Double-sided tape PVC patches can be made into the company&#;s logo to paste in shoes, bags, cups as decorations and accessories; PVC patches can also be used as move advertisements to paste on gifts and so on. This kind of PVC patches&#; cost is lower than the cost of Velcro PVC patches, and it can also prevent the inconvenience caused by secondary use as a label.

3.No Attachment PVC Patches

No attachment PVC patch is a patch without any attachments. But it likes other Velcro PVC patches, it has a sew-on grooved around the frame. This sew-on groove is thinner than PVC patches itself. It can be used to sew the Velcro, or it can be used to directly sew the PVC patch on the garment. Usually, garment factories will customize such PVC patches without any accessories, and they will be sewing it on the clothes as labels or decorations. Because the PVC patch is soft, durable, non-deformable, and does not fade, it can be machine washed with clothes.
