Choose when
Gear needs bold color separation, clean relief, and a surface suited to repeated handling or exposure.

PVC / Rubber
The mark becomes a moulded system of levels.
Moulded rubber with crisp raised edges. Waterproof, bold, built for gear.
Relief test
Add levels only where the drawing earns them.
Switch the conceptual mould depth to see how hierarchy can be built into the physical face.
Read before choosing
What this construction gives—and what it asks you to give up.
Construction guidance for client review. Final limits, tolerances, backings, and commercial commitments must be confirmed against the approved proof.
Watch for
Soft tonal artwork and organic thread character do not translate directly into moulded color fields.
- Surface
- Soft moulded rubber with raised and recessed levels
- Detail behavior
- Crisp geometry within moulding and minimum-line constraints
- Color behavior
- Solid moulded fields with controlled separation
- Typical edge
- Moulded perimeter integrated into the object

Ten construction studies
One material, tested against different kinds of marks.
Review-stage placeholder studies—not customer work. Their job is to expose the visual range and the limits the final asset pass must solve.
Material is a starting hypothesis
Put pvc / rubber against the real artwork.
The proof—not the screen—makes the final decision.
