So, I've actually decided to cut out the middle man and I was going to wait a little longer before I surprised you guys with it but we've bought some of the entry level machinery to make patches. We're still just working out some designs and technical issues involved in production, so I figured I'd post some of our early stuff and development for you guys so we can get some feedback. When the patches are ready, naturally we'll be selling them and hopefully we can use that money to buy better equipment and we can do something really professional in the future.
Right now we're just trying to refine the classic FP logo in red and white but you can definitely expect a Tan/Black version of the full size logo in the near future as well and we'll be offering custom patches. So if you guys have any ideas for patches or want to see your designs that throw them up and we'll give them a shot. We need the practice.
Basically you guys are supporting the foundation of a small business my family and I are trying to ramp up and if we're successful we'll be able to offer plenty of different kinds of products at a higher quality and lower cost. Our objective in the long run will be to provide low cost, no minimum order custom patches with fast production times and excellent customer service.

And here is a bonus shot of our sterile production facility:

So, I will now start accepting orders. I'm going to start off doing it via PM but I should get a website up within a day or two. Anyway.
Here's what I've got so far.
Original FP Logo Patch [b]Stock:[/b] Made To Order.
Comes with Velcro Backing.
[t]http://i.cubeupload.com/wCaJRR.png[/t]
$5 (Orders outside US pay $6 for shipping)
FP Diamond Patch [b]Stock:[/b] 15
Comes with Velcro Backing.
[t]http://i.cubeupload.com/t2O1H1.png[/t]
$5 (Orders outside US pay $1 for shipping) Making the total $6 per patch.
I have a limited amount of the diamond patches, just what's left of Herf's old stock. I may be adding more designs in the coming days but for now this is what I've got. The quality of the FP Logo's isn't on par with a serious commercial machine but what you're doing is helping me A. Break even on the machine and B. I'll be using all additional profits to buy better equipment. Ultimately I'm looking to make vinyl patches like Mutiny did. So this is almost like a kick-starter but you actually get something in the meantime.
[b]How to Order:[/b]
Paypal is the preferred method of payment. When you place an order you will need to put the following information in the "Comments/Note" field.
The Paypal address is [Not currently taking orders]
[QUOTE=Notes]
Senders Name
Street Address
City, State, Zip Code
(Country if applicable)
Username
# of patches and what ones[/QUOTE]
I'd prefer you do it in that format so it'll be easier and faster for me to print labels. Add your username below that for reference and the number of patches you wish to purchase.
If you do not have a paypal you can mail me the money. I DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS because if it bounces you're a dead motherfucker.
Provide the same information as listed above in the envelope.
[b]INTERNATIONAL:[/b]
Paypal is the ONLY method to purchase patches International as I wouldn't know what to do with your commie money. Provide the same details as listed above, as far as I know that's all I'll need but I may have to communicate with you later because I've never shipped/mailed things International
PS: Canada counts as International.
If you have any questions you can use the email I listed or post them here and I'll do my best to work with you.
I'll take a patch reproduction of that "Dicks" design
HORY SHIT
Ooh count me in.

Story time: Event organizer asked me what my IFAP diamond patch was last game and I said "Facepunch" and he was like "That's cool. Is 393 the number of faces you've punched?" and I was just like "Yeah" since explaining the ending of a URL on a Garry's Mod internet subforum is too autistic for me.
This is now facepunch patch general discussion.
So, hopefully you guys will be seeing another post in the next day or two. I just started a new job and they're giving me 40 hours right now so I gotta do some juggling. When I said I was taking a break from airsoft it was for this mostly, also why I'm selling my beloved Type 89 and ARES Tavor.
We gotta buy thicker thread, play with the machine and software and buy some bulk materials, sample some colors and shit like that and if we're really on the ball we'll have something to sell in a week or two. The quality isn't there quite yet so I want to wait.
But that being said, I'm your exclusive custom patch guy. If you guys want a RIP Upnushi Patch or a Krundle DF patch or something I'll see what I can do.
If possible, I would like to order one.
Any chance you could sell them with velcro for easier attachment? :3
All the patches we make will include velcro by default. We'll offer alternatives too like iron-on adhesive but velcro is like the industry standard right now.

AWESOME
Count me in without hesitation then! <3
count me in for 2-4
im in
All hail our lord and saviour Codemoney
I'm less than an hour away so if one day you need some help or anything feel free to shoot me a text, i'd be more than happy to help any way I can.
You going to offer different sizes?
Too early to tell but most likely. Right now we're working with 3x3 inch round patches but we can definitely do different shapes, tabs and they can get pretty damn small to as big as 4 inches with our current machine.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;44638234] or a Krundle DF patch or something.[/QUOTE]
ooh
i'd buy the fuck out of a patch of the faux-russian krundle insignia
In the future, I wouldn't mind buying an Eridani patch either, I was going to find a company to make a few but I'd much much rather have you do it.
When are you taking orders?
[QUOTE=the_killer24;44638499]ooh

omg i would pay a pretty sizable amount of money to get some of these made

After losing my FP patch, I want this so bad.
I would like some silly ones based on insiders from the forum. Airsoft is too serious.
Aaaaaaa I would buy if it was armbands
Literally none of my uniforms have xXm0durnXx unit patch velcro
[QUOTE=Kill001;44639104]Aaaaaaa I would buy if it was armbands

2 options
1. buy velcro, attach patch, cut around velcro to fit perfectly, sew on
2. buy velcro, sew on velcro, attach patch.
I guess green velcro is preferable over black most of the time, but I chose black for my NATO patches, and just cut around it and it looks super neat. I suppose that way does eliminate the possibility of bigger patches later on if you want to replace them, but you take some you lose some.

There is of course the chance that I completely misunderstood your post in which case, I apologize. <3
Kill is a hipster faggot so he doesn't run anything remotely as high tech or operator as Velcro
[Editline]as[/editline]
Luv u n ur loadouts kill <3
Only problem with that is I have to sew on velcro for my IJA kit too
Totes legitâ„¢
But on a serious note, I think armbands would be hella versatile, from running insurgent lodeotus to nam, it'd be great
Armband with velcro on it?
This is godly. I would order one right away
YES HI PLEASE YES?
