Labels for jackets/coats
I’ve been asked to supply some labels to go on heavy duty coats. I don’t know exactly what the material is, but the coats in question are those very heavy duty, waterproof, fluorescent green things that motorway workmen wear.
So, has anybody ever produced any self adhesive labels for this type of garment? If so, what material was used. I’ve thought about sticking a bit of truck vinyl on for a few days to see if it sticks as the fabric seems almost like a plastic/fabric!!!??
The other problem is that they only want about 20 of them so I think it would have to be something that could be printed with an Edge or similar.
Heeeeelllllllpppp!

The jackets in question are already being used which is why I thought that a label that could be applied by the customer would be the easiest option.

You really need something with a heat activated adhesive to sucessfully bond to fabric.
The company I work for mainly use 3M reflective films to screen print or plotter cut a large variety of badges for high visibility PPE garments.
Non reflective heat applied transfers can be screen printed using special inks and transfer paper.
There are also a variety of heat applied, plotter cuttable materials available from Xpres and Hexis.
While it is possible to get most of these products to adhere to fabric with a domestic iron, it really is advisable to use a proper heat press.

the customer will have problems puttting the logo on the rear themselves. A heatpress is required.
You need special material suitable for nylon.

I agree with becky, you will need a special material for nylon. Being nylon may not be your only problem as some garments are also coated so definately try first before committing to a large run.
