Question re. Adhering heat set transfer letters w/o using heat Sign In/Join

I want to use a glue because the fabric is on a box and can not be pre washed. It is a satin type poly fabric and the box will contain a toy for a 6 year old. What type of glue do you recommend?

Confused?
Are you gluing the heat set transfer letters directly to cardboard/box? Or is the box lid wrapped in fabric??

I would guess that any white Tacky Glue could adhere the letters, without heat.

It's a fabric wrapped box. I also thought a tacky glue would work. I only have E6000 on hand tho. I might try to heat set one letter even tho I can not prewash the fabric. Thanks for your suggestion.

Btw, the fabric box appears to be a poly satin.
