Iron on labels

[Welder.man]

We sell a lot of vinyl name labels and get asked all the time for iron on (with household iron) labels, we have not go this way as without a heat press I thought they would not stay stuck, but there are so many places offering iron on labels I asked my spandex rep he said it is a siser type material but did not know much it.
Anyone doing this? What material are you using? Where do you get it from? Can it be printed and cut with a Gerber set up.

I've ironed on thermoflex for my own stuff and it worked but for a client.... I probably would not do it

You need to define the susbstrate.

For home use, sublimation is the way to go in most cases.

Thanks for the replies, The labels would go on to school and sport uniforms and other cloth products.

It's just same material as you're using... they're just using an iron for it.

Flame I am only using Avery 700 and 900.

I have some Polyflex on the way from one of my suppliers to have a test run with.

Anyone else know ?

Here is a link to some that Signwarehouse sales under their name, I think it is made by Siser. I don't know anything about it just saw it in one of their flyers.

here is the skinny about using an iron...yes it will work, but would i trust it to stick permanently...no.

There are three key ingredients to a successful heat transfer, time, temperature and pressure. It is very tough to get all those accurate at one time with out a heat press.
