They are black, dark blue, lime, all different colors.
Even so my customer has ordered vinyl bags. So haven't got an option there haha. They are brilliant bags.
But not sure which vinyl to use :/

The nylo flex and nylo cut from xpres are good for 100% nylon but i use the multi flex for a poly/nylon mix

They look like the same bags I use (from BTC and Ralawise). You can sublimate on the white (light) ones and I use normal garment vinyl on the other colours.

Point to note though - make sure the cord/draw-string is away from the heat and also the leather type bit at the bottom as this melts! (trust me, I know).

Also, I only press this at about 160degrees for about 5-10 seconds (firm pressure)

I have also multilayered on these with vinyl with no problem - gave them to the kids for a few weeks as a tester .................. I love to road test stuff!

Hope that helps?

We road test everything too got to be done me thinks, when youre asked what it washes like you can then give an honest answer well I show them.

lol - same here (not the last bit), as an example, I have some demo shirts in the shop that have been washed 15-20 times so customers can see and compare to different 'cheaper' transfer papers that have crumbled (also printed on the shirt).
