Also known as micro-injection, this technique injects liquid PVC or silicone into high-precision molds to create a logo with distinct height and multi-layered color separation. These patches are fade-proof and weather-resistant, maintaining physical integrity in extreme climates. This is the top-tier choice for premium retail brands like NBA Stores to enhance brand perceived value and tactile quality.
HF uses electromagnetic waves to permanently rearrange the molecular structure of the PU upper material under heat and pressure. It is a structural molding process, not a surface treatment.
Embossed Effect: The logo is raised outward from the surface, creating a bold, muscular 3D look.
Debossed Effect: The logo is “pressed” into the material, offering a sophisticated, recessed, and premium aesthetic. The HF process ensures the logo is 100% peel-proof and structurally integrated, making it the industry standard for athletic slides requiring high durability.
This process forces ink through a stenciled mesh screen directly onto the upper material. Its primary advantage is ink thickness and opacity. For brands requiring high color fidelity, such as precise Pantone matching or large solid color blocks, Silk Screen is the most reliable method for visual consistency and impact.
Often referred to as “Standard Printing” in trade queries, digital designs are printed on a carrier film and then transferred via high temperature and pressure. This is the only solution for gradients, photorealistic details, or complex multi-color illustrations. It preserves every pixel of the original artwork, making it ideal for fashion-forward or ODM collaborative projects.
This is a composite manufacturing process where the upper is built from multiple layers (fabric, foam, PU) sewn together. This allows for Material Mixing, such as combining printed fabric with a stitched PVC patch. Managed by our 150 skilled workers, this technique provides a “sneaker-like” cushioned feel and a layered aesthetic that molded slides cannot replicate.
