New BP I just got. I'm new to backpatches, so i'm not sure of the quality... it feels more like construction paper on the back, and less like fabric. In fact, it came folded (not happy bout that) and it has a crease in it. The back (and front) sorta looks like it could easily crinkle. Got from ebay, but package had Abyss Records written on it for some reason. (My other patch i recently got feels more like fabric.) Is this a type of bp you've come across? Thoughts?

You can see the creases if you look closely.

Any suggestions about this patch quality?

looks like it's a sublimation printed backpatch, which means the ink is not printed on top of the fabric but it dyes the fabric itself. so it shouldn't fade, crackle or peel at all. I've got a sublimation printed backpatch on my vest and it still looks as good as it did on the day I got it so I think the quality should be fine.
also, my backpatch came in the mail folded up like yours. if you look at the pictures of my vest the crease is still visible, but over time it has gone away and you wouldn't think it has ever been there.

ok that's encouraging. It just doesn't "feel" like my smaller patches and i thought a larger bp would. My other two seem "normal" to me, but yeah, i think ur right about it being sublimation cuz it did say the ink was all the way through. I was actually considering ironing it LOL.

I'd agree. I think it's a sublimation print, because it looks exactly like a Heathen BP I've got. That's great quality then!
Mine came also folded, but i laid down heavy books on it, for like 7 days. The crease should be aways then. And time will heal the rest ;)
