First off thanks for the beltchecker patches, I have the 2 on some of my favorite gis and I had the bright idea of making a QR code with my profile on it for a patch as a joke / would be neat for camps etc :D

Cost is pretty prohibitive when you are talking like 5 patches. Is there something where if we got a bunch of folks together and you guys used the printer that made the sublimated belt checker patches where we each purchase like 4 -5 patches where cost isn't ridiculous like 25 a pop? Is this in the realm of feasibility / if not, does anyone know a good patchmaker where I could get like 5 patches at a reasonable cost if I already have artwork made?

At that quantity, the price would still be kind of ridiculous, sorry :)

No worries, I figured that would probably be the case.

My dream of having a QR code on my ass to scan at camps will be dashed for now...

Definetly had the same idea long time ago when I got the beltchecker, and globetrotters patches. I need to let every gym I visit know who we are, and we are here! Especially in Vegas.

I'm way ahead of y'all. Just finished up my gi bracket with this bad boy on my back. I made some smaller ones with the beltchecker logo colors that link directly to my beltchecker profile. I'll try and remember to get some shots of those as well when I get back home.

All I did was buy a piece of canvas and took it to a tshirt place. Unfortunately they don't work quite as well as I'd hoped, mostly due to the fact that there are going to be wrinkles in your gi, but also, the image fades in the wash over time.

It wasn't that expensive though... maybe $20-30 for like 10 patches...

Here's a quick picture of what the colorized version of the qr code looks like. I've actually had more success getting this smaller patch to work, since there are fewer wrinkles to get out.
