I absolutely LOVE the etching you do on the back plates, such an awesome touch but I don't use velcro either. Seems like I'm alone here but I prefer the feet cuz I have Bedroom Boards, those boards with the shag carpet on 'em and I fucking hate velcro. The feet work nicely to seat it in that shag so the etching is never covered with velcro on my LaoWiz stuff.
If direct, I'd just give the option of velcro or feet. Buyer applies it however they want. For retailers I'd include some in each box

It's up to you. Kind of seems like a lot of work that won't get seen much, but it's also like people putting art inside them I think it's cool and says something about the company/pedals.
I like art on the lids and inside the pedal. Usually with the lid art you can strategically apply velcro so it won't cover/mess it up, like the sharpie jank on some ohnoho stuff.

I hate rubber feet too! Especially on fucking expression pedals! Just make the bottom flat, you bastards. What if I decide to put it on my board? Or Wahs are the same. I just hate the feet on pedal in general. I also hate dual lock. You bastards who use it, I also hate.
OH! OH! And don't get me started on the people who use parts of bicycle chain to secure their pedals to their board. Yea, that's practical. Your aiming for the stomp which, not the side of the pedal. Learn some coordination you fucking Neanderthal!

Yeah, I'm gonna start leaving feet off and just include them in little baggies.
I did have a dumb idea to the etch the inside of the back plate!

You're not alone. Velcro suck.

PT-PRO is my first board ever to use velcro on and i'm digging it so far. previously used pegboard and strap locks, once upon a time actually used a foam lined gun case... hope i can dig up pics of that somewhere...
I don't get it. Rip the feet off if you don't want them! What's the problem? I can't stand the pedal skidding around with no feet - I know some people (me) who would take ages to get round to sticking them on, even longer to sort out the velcro.
Course those wah feet with screws in them are something else....
