The Smart Choice in Footwear Manufacturing: Double-Layer Composite TPU Tongue Label Solves Fitting and Printing Challenges

In footwear manufacturing, the bonding efficiency and print quality of tongue labels directly impact production yield and brand image. Traditional solutions often face challenges such as high-temperature damage to fabrics or subpar printing results. Our innovative dual-layer composite TPU tongue label features a clever “low-temperature bonding layer + high-temperature printing layer” structure, providing a one-stop solution that optimizes production processes while enhancing product quality.

Why are our TPU shoe tongue labels superior?

This product is precision-engineered by laminating a low-temperature TPU hot-melt adhesive film with a high-temperature TPU film. Each layer serves its distinct purpose, achieving a synergistic effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

1. Base Layer: Low-temperature TPU hot-melt adhesive film — Ensures efficient bonding and protects the shoe upper.

Core Values:

Fast, Secure, Robust

Pain Point Solution:

When applying high-temperature adhesive films, heat may penetrate the label, causing burns or discoloration and hardening of delicate upper materials such as mesh or flyknit fabrics.

Our Solution:

Utilizes a low-activation-temperature TPU hot-melt adhesive film at the base layer. It activates instantly with minimal heat and pressure, delivering robust bonding strength. This significantly reduces thermal damage risks to upper materials, enhances production safety and yield rates, while simultaneously improving energy efficiency and productivity.

2. Surface Layer: High-temperature TPU film — Enhanced printability, clear and durable

Core Value:

Exceptional print adaptability, high durability

Pain Point Solution:

Conventional materials exhibit poor print quality, prone to wear and fading, and tend to peel off after repeated bending and washing.

Our Solution:

The surface layer utilizes a high-temperature resistant TPU film with optimized surface energy. Its surface is exceptionally suited for various processes such as screen printing and digital printing, enabling the reproduction of vibrant colors and sharp edges for brand logos and size information. Simultaneously, the TPU material itself possesses outstanding abrasion resistance, fold resistance, and wash resistance, ensuring the shoe tongue label remains clear and as good as new throughout the entire lifespan of the shoe.

Summary of Core Benefits Delivered by the Dual-Temperature-Zone Structure

Enhance production efficiency: Low-temperature bonding shortens hot-pressing cycles and reduces defective products.

Protecting Expensive Uppers: Prevent high-temperature burns, especially suitable for premium, lightweight fabrics.

Showcasing Brand Quality: Exquisite and durable printing elevates the overall product quality.

Ultra-durable: Resists bending, sweat stains, and repeated washing—information never gets lost.

Widely used in various types of footwear

Sports Running Shoes: Designed to withstand intense bending and sweat exposure, our labels remain steadfast.

Fashionable Casual Shoes: Exquisite printing effects add the finishing touch to trendy designs.

Children's Shoes: With higher demands for safety and durability, our products are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and built to last.

Outdoor hiking boots: Designed for harsh environments, with markings that remain clearly visible.
