Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our shoe mould products, ordering processes, and services.

Customers often ask about the differences between EVA, PVC, and rubber moulds for shoe production. Each material demands specific mould design considerations to achieve the desired sole characteristics. EVA injection moulds require careful temperature control during the foaming process to ensure consistent density and shape retention. PVC moulds must account for material flow properties and cooling rates to prevent defects. Rubber moulds involve sulfide processing at precise temperatures and time cycles. Our engineering team evaluates each project's requirements to recommend the most suitable mould material and construction approach, ensuring reliable performance across production runs.

The ordering process for custom shoe moulds begins with a detailed discussion of your product specifications and production goals. We review sole design, material type, expected output volumes, and any special features such as strap attachments or unique surface textures. Once the requirements are clear, our design team creates detailed mould drawings for your approval. We use advanced CNC processing centers and imported machinery to manufacture moulds with high precision. Quality testing is conducted at multiple stages to verify dimensional accuracy and durability. This structured workflow helps ensure that each mould meets the customer's expectations before shipment.

Proper mould maintenance significantly extends service life and maintains consistent product quality. After each production cycle, moulds should be cleaned to remove carbon deposits and residual material that can accumulate on cavity surfaces. We recommend using appropriate cleaning methods that do not damage the mould's fine details or surface finish. Regular inspection for wear on critical areas such as parting lines and venting channels helps identify potential issues early. Storing moulds in a controlled environment prevents corrosion and deformation. Following these practices reduces downtime and helps maintain the precision required for high-quality shoe sole production.
