This is such a way-cool way to feature patches included in the book The Design Entrepreneur: Turning Graphic Design Into Goods That Sell! Gary Panter designs his own patches of his comic characters, and what I love is how they are featured on recycled what looks like toy or cereal boxes. He just cut 4 diagonal slits in the cardboard box! I bet this would be a cool way to feature an ATC or photo too.

Designers are used to working for clients, but there is nothing better than when the client is oneself. Graphic and product designers, who are skilled with the tools and masters aesthetics, are now in the forefront of this growing entrepreneur movement.
Whether personal or collective, drive is the common denominator of all entrepreneurial pursuit; of course, then comes the brilliant idea; and finally the fervent wherewithal to make and market the result. The Design Entrepreneur is the first book to survey this new field and showcase the innovators who are creating everything from books to furniture, clothes to magazines, plates to surfboards, and more.
Through case studies with designers like Dave Eggers, Maira Kalman, Charles Spencer Anderson, Seymour Chwast, Jet Mous, Nicholas Callaway, Jordi Duró, and over thirty more from the United States and Europe, this book explores the whys, hows, and wherefores of the conception and production processes. The design entrepreneur must take the leap away from the safety of the traditional designer role into the precarious territory where the public decides what works and what doesn’t. This is the book that shows how that is accomplished.
This looks and sounds like a wonderful book. I'm going to see if I can find it at a local bookstore. I'd like to see more of this one!
