Custom PVC raincoats are widely used in outdoor activities, promotional campaigns, factory supplies, and emergency protection due to their strong water resistance, high transparency, and moderate cost. To meet the needs of different brands or events, more and more enterprises choose to customize PVC raincoats. Customization not only allows for the printing of exclusive logos or patterns to enhance brand recognition but also enables flexible selection of colors, thickness, style, and packaging to meet individualized requirements. In addition, PVC materials have good flexibility, can be reused, and have excellent printing performance and a long service life. Compared to ordinary disposable raincoats, customized ones have better promotional effects and practical value. This article will provide you with a complete customization reference guide to help you complete the purchase efficiently.
Determine the purpose and target audience of custom PVC raincoat
Before customization, it is necessary to clearly define the usage scenarios and target users of the raincoat:
- Corporate promotional/sales gifts
- Exhibition gifts/sports events
- Emergency supplies for cities during the rainy season
- Personal protective equipment for factories and construction sites
- The different purposes will affect the thickness of the raincoat material, its style, and the way of printing the logo.
Choose the Right PVC Thickness for Custom Raincoats
The thickness of PVC material greatly affects the durability, cost, and application scenarios of raincoats. Below is a quick reference table to help you choose the appropriate thickness based on your usage needs:
| Thickness Range | Recommended Use | Remarks |
| 6–10 silk (0.06–0.10 mm) | Promotional use, disposable raincoats | Lightweight and low-cost; not suitable for long-term use |
| 12–15 silk (0.12–0.15 mm) | Standard reusable raincoats | Balanced cost and durability; suitable for regular use |
| 18–25 silk (0.18–0.25 mm) | Heavy-duty, industrial use | Strong and durable; suitable for workwear or harsh environments |
