Hi all

I appreciate this might seem a bit "Blue Peter" but stay with me...

I need to get some iron on transfers made, of our business logo, which will be put on to the fabric of a cargo bike trailer. Cost not the driving factor, but quality and longevity in outside conditions is the most important thing.

Trailer lives indoors overnight, but could easily see wind/rain and general day to day abuse, so I want it to stay looking good for as long as possible.

Anyone either deal in this sort of thing, or can recommend a supplier? I have googled it but most of what I find appears to be a "jack and jill from their front room with an inkjet printer" operation, so want to just bypass that where possible.

Cheers

Can’t help re: iron-on, but is screenprinting not an option?

You can make iron on transfers with an ink jet that'll last some time and be fine, it's the medium you use that'll need to be quality together with the following the instructions to the tea.

Made a few myself for kids outfits, been washed a few times, been fine.

As someone else has said though, screen printing will offer you the most robust option.

I got 10 screenprinted T-shirts made for a themed birthday party. Can't remember the company but easy to google for some. Not expensive.
