Product Specific Application

HM6102 is specially used for printing sneak or gym shoes tongue labels,It is wisely choosed by the famous brand shoes including Nike,Adidas,New Balance,Reebok,Skechers,Anta,etc.

Product Characteristics

1-) Good printing compatibility, the facestock of hot melt label tape HM6102 is made of nylon coating fabric,compatible with both ink printing and thermal transfer printing.

2-) Eco-friendly material,both facestock and thermal-activated glue are selected from eco-friendly materials.

3-) Strong bonding,labels withstand 60 times washing and will not wash off from the shoes tougne

Product Use Steps
1. Preparation
Check the equipment: Make sure that the temperature of the hot melt adhesive labeling machine (or hot press, iron) is adjustable and stable.
– Choose a label: Choose the appropriate hot melt label (e.g., high-temperature, low-temperature) based on the material to be labeled (e.g., fabric, plastic, metal).
– Clean the surface: The surface of the object should be dry, free of oil and dust, otherwise the adhesive strength will be affected.
2. Heat activation
– Set temperature: refer to the label instructions (usually 75°C~230°C), for example:
– Normal fabric: about 120°C~150°C
– Heating method:
– Labeling machine: automatic label feeding and heating and pressing (suitable for mass production).
– Iron/heat press: Place the label on the object, cover it with a heat-resistant cloth (such as a silicone pad), and press it with an iron for 10~30 seconds (adjust according to the thickness of the label).
– Heat gun: Evenly heat the back of the label until the adhesive layer melts (avoid local overheating).
3. Pressing and cooling
– Uniform pressure: Flatten with a roller or hand immediately after heating to expel air bubbles.
– Natural cooling: After the adhesive layer solidifies (about 5~10 seconds), a firm bond can be formed to avoid immediate pulling.

2. Precautions for hot melt labels Usage 

1. Temperature Control: The temperature is too low→ the glue is not completely melted and the viscosity is insufficient. – Excessive temperature → The adhesive line carbonizes or damages the label facestock.

2. Pressure Adjustment: – Hard materials (e.g. metals) need to be pressed together at high pressure for short periods of time. – Soft materials (e.g. fabrics) need to be deformed at low pressure for a long time.

3. Environmental Requirements: – Avoid handling in wet or low temperatures (which may result in failure of the bond line). 4. Security Protection: – Wear heat-resistant gloves during operation to prevent burns. – Maintain ventilation to avoid accumulation of volatiles in hot melt adhesives.

3. Solve common problems 

Label off: Check if the temperature is up to standard, or if the surface is clean.

Adhesive line overflow: Reduces pressure or compression time.

Label wrinkling: Make sure that the object to be applied is flat and evenly applied when pressed.
