Our 3D TPU Patches combine precision molding and technical design to create logos with a bold, sculpted appearance. Made from high-quality thermoplastic eco-polyurethane, these patches deliver exceptional durability, sharp detail, and solid soft texture with a distinct 3D structure – a finish that feels professional and instantly recognizable on high-end sportswear.
Each patch is digitally printed with UV technology, achieving all range of colors and perfect registration across every design. The surface can be finished in matte, gloss, or metallic. That allows brands to choose the exact look and feel that matches their identity.
Distinctive look. Exceptional quality. Produced by Megaprint Transfers
