INTERLININGS
Interlining, although often invisible, is a vital component in footwear manufacturing, providing the necessary structure, support, and durability for different parts of the shoe. The proper choice of interlining type and its correct application are essential to ensure the quality and comfort of the final footwear.
Characteristics
In our industry, we use various types of interlining to meet different needs:
- Thermoadhesive interlinings: These adhere and mold with heat, ideal for parts that require greater rigidity and exceptional durability.
- Non-woven interlinings: They offer flexibility and are perfect for insoles and interior parts of the footwear that need adaptability.
- Woven interlinings: With high resistance, they are used in areas that endure a lot of wear.
Applications or Uses
The process of applying interlining is an art in itself. It begins with selecting the appropriate material, followed by cutting and preparing the interlining pieces. Then, adhesion and molding take place, using heat for thermoadhesive interlinings, and gluing or sewing in other cases. The final assembly of the shoe integrates these reinforced parts, resulting in a finished product that combines functionality and comfort.
Benefits
The use of interlining in footwear manufacturing brings numerous benefits, from improving the structure and durability to enhancing comfort and design versatility. Additionally, it facilitates the manufacturing process and can contribute to more sustainable practices, making interlining an essential component for creating high-quality and functional footwear.
Recent Innovations
As we advance in the innovation and refinement of our techniques, let us always remember the importance of each component, visible or not, in the creation of excellent footwear.
