STITCHLESS® FILMS: FILM TECHNOLOGY IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN
These films may be used to eliminate stitching required on uppers for design purposes. The single-layer films may be used to permanently combine mesh, synthetics, PVC, TPU, and other materials. By choosing the appropriate multi-layer extrusion, one side will seal to the surface of the upper while the other may be printed or colored to give the desired effect without laminating.
