Don't buy them! They are horrible this year and won't release from the paper to the shirts! Last year's operation space iron ons were on a plastic backing and worked very well....I am currently attempting to make 75 of these awful things work in ANY way for a friend's church, and when our church orders, we will be getting the patches instead, for the same price!

I totally agree!! I will be returning the ones I ordered as it destroyed the shirt! nothing was working, not more heat, more time, less heat less time. It was a mess, I went to Staples and purchased the Iron-On materials to make my own and then took the clipart logo and made my own, SO MUCH EASIER!!

tbump.....I am told there was a mistake at the manufacturer's when the paper ones were made and they have fixed the situation now....are the ones you used some that you received recently, or did your "fun with iron ons" happen a few weeks ago?

I ordered these in June. They have a plastic feel to the sheet not like the paper you get from Staples iron-on.

I would hope next year they test their iron-on before shipping them out.

We ordered shirts this year and barely got them in time although ordered plenty early. We are wondering about using the iron-on next year. Did you iron-on with a regular iron? Or could it be done by a company that creates t-shirts with logo, etc.? We had our church name and VBS 2010 put on the back.

I just tried the "replacement" iron ons and they were not good either. I am going to be using the patches on our tshirts this year. But if they go back to the iron ons that they had last year and early this year, THOSE were GREAT! Some were ironed on by home irons, but I did most on a home "press", and with a professional gravity feed iron, which is nice and heavy and evenly heated. The iron ons from last year turned out great using any of the above implements. I think AIG is aware and won't use the poor quality iron ons again. BTW, for ordering shirts cheaply and quickly (2 days) try jiffyshirts.com.
