I've cut a few promo things using regular vinyl, for a friend. I've used the same for my own sails. If it holds up, it shrinks and leaves glue residue.
Sail makers use some sort of sail cloth with adhesive backing. I've never checked it out.
I send my clients to a sail maker, if they want something that will last and is actually meant for the environment.

I had a customer on the East Coast who used Gerber's PERMAGRIP for lettering on flags this past spring. It has an ungodly strong 3M Low Surface Energy Adhesive on it.
Unfortunately, it only comes in white...get out the airbrush, get it screened, or get it EDGE printed...

You could use Gorilla grip II from Stahls, it's made for nylon, cuts on plotter and irons on ... fairly expensive solution if you're covering large areas.. I've used it on tents and knapsacks, even lifejackets . first option would be silkscreening..

I do a fair bit of work on fabrics and recently had a customer come with some sail material he was using for windbreakers at a cafe. it had been waterproofed as well. I used the action art fabtac as my stencil and used a high opacity screen ink. worked out okay.

I have just a "little" problem with some of them. Living in Switzerland, the stuff available is really scarce! No Gorilla, no DacTac, no ArtFab Tac, no ...
I would ask for a little piece of fabric to try some screen ink! Thank you so much.

Obviously, Monte, you've never tried sandblasting them.
