Gentlemen,

Looking for opinions!

My wife made some "man cave" decorations for Christmas, and we are wanting to know if there is a market for these:

Unit crests, award, badges, patches, etc. Focus on Army first; but depending on response, other services and perhaps fire and police.

Vinyl applique on a 3/16" thick CNC machined PVC backing.

The sizes would vary of course, but the 502'nd is approximately 28" x 32" (36" posters are in the pics).

I'm thinking $65 each, minus shipping.

Thoughts?

That's pretty cool. I'm sure there's some sort of market for it. Honestly, other than decorating the man cave, I think some of the VFW halls would be a good place for this sort of thing.

They look good, I would buy a Marine one for my good friend if you start making items for them.

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen!

I understand this these are vinyl cut, but instead of just a sticker, they are applied to a PVC backer that is to cut to the size of the emblem. We are also creating the file formats ourselves, as while divisions and such are commonly available in vector format, the same cannot be said for the unit crests and the like.

My opinion...

At that price point, be able to handle custom orders. The two things I would want (old ships) just aren't around and there certainly aren't any print-ready images to be had online so I'm not sure how that would work.

Would it be possible for you gentlemen to post JPG's of what you would be looking for?
