I'm looking for blank flags that I can heat apply vinyl to. Suggestions?

I use at vistaflags.com. It's a small family owned/run company based in California that ships everywhere.

Just to be clear, are these suitable for heat applied vinyl? The site doesn't list what the flags are made of.

Thanks!

I use them all the time, I just order "solid" flags:

About half of the flag blanks do list Polyester or Nylon by
their size & color. But many don't list a content. If you are
worried about it, I guess a call or email would be in order.

I e-mailed vista flags and the sales person says that heat press vinyl doesn't work on their solid flags.

Unfortunate.

They always say that but I have some around town that have been flying high for a few years now.

So, do you use regular heat press vinyl on the flags?
I see ThermoFlex Plus claims to adhere to polyester, lycra, spandex
and offers "ThermoFlex Xtra" especially for nylon.

I do Thermo Flex Xtra per directions and then 5 to 10 more without the liner (don't forget the Teflon sheet). The flag color will change but as soon as it cools it'll go back to normal.
