Summary: where the patches come from
Xref: mnetor sci.space:3600 sci.space.shuttle:425


A company called "Action Packets" manufactures replica mission
patches, and a bunch of other space-related stuff, which is
sold in museum and gift shops.  The local L-5 (now NSS)
chapters had a successful fundraiser a few years ago by
selling such patches at an airshow.  We got them from
Action Packets.  The wholesale price is about like so:

95 cents each for 3 inch mission patches,
$1.89 each for 4 inch mission patches,
space shuttle program patch, 3 inch size $0.89
NASA 'worm' , red on white $0.85.

No minimum order, but minimum quantities of 5 patches of a type,
typically.  This is not a problem, since their price for 5
is about what you pay for one at a museum shop.  Buy 5, and
sell or give away the rest to promote space.

Their address:
344 Cypress Road,
Ocala, FL 32672
