Best Vinyl to use for Polypropylene Bags

[Hen 3]

I'm needing to cut and press 50 polypropylene bags and not sure which vinyl I need to use.

Never done these bags, but polypropylene is going to melt around 330 F.   This stuff has a low press temp compared to others, but have never tried it.  Limited colors.  https://www.cutterpros.com/specialty-materials-polybag-flex-for-polypropylene-bags

I have a bit of brand loyalty gong on with Siser.  On one of there forums they state this:

I have polypropylene grocery bags to put a design on. Can I use easyweed on them?

Hi Kim! Absolutely, you can apply HTV to polypropylene. You will need to use a low temperature of 270°-280°F to prevent carrier lines and melting.

Maybe someone else has actually done this.

Thank you!  You solved my problem.  I went to http://www.siserna.com/heat-apply-htv-heat-sensitive-material/ and found the answer in the comments.  She said that the Siser Easy Weed would work.  So I did a test on one of the bags and it worked great!  I did 12 seconds at 270 and it didn't stick so I raised it to 280 for 12 seconds and it worked great!
