Whether it’s furniture upholstery, automotive interiors, electronic product casings, bag and shoe materials, or high-end decorative items, the demands for PU leather are increasingly high: it must not only be attractive and soft, but also scratch-resistant, age-resistant, sweat-resistant, and highly stable.
However, in reality, many brands encounter various problems during collaborations:
- Samples look good, but batch production is inconsistent.
- Colors and textures are severely inconsistent.
- Environmental and compliance requirements fail to meet the buyer’s expectations.
- Low delivery times and communication efficiency lead to extended development cycles.
The essence of these problems is not price, but rather an inaccurate assessment of the PU leather manufacturing system and customization capabilities.
As a team with years of experience in deep customization of PU leather and electronic leather manufacturing, Yudeng focuses not only on the material itself, but also on:
- 👉 How can the material truly meet the product’s structural needs?
- 👉 How to ensure batch stability and long-term availability?
- 👉 How to achieve rapid market penetration and support brand growth in Brazil?

Yudeng’s Custom PU Leather Manufacturing System
A superior custom PU leather partner must possess the ability to replicate stable batches, which stems from four key aspects:
1) Raw Material Management System
Good PU leather isn’t determined by a single step, but rather by rigorous control starting from the moment raw materials enter the factory:
- Supplier Qualification Management
- Raw Material Batch Inspection
- Resin and Additive Performance Records
This ensures consistent performance from the first roll to the 100,000th roll.
2) Standardized Process Routes
By establishing standardized process flows (such as coating thickness, drying temperature, embossing parameters, etc.), batch variations caused by human factors are avoided.
3) Strict Testing and Verification Mechanism
Key performance tests are conducted before shipment:
- Bending Cycle
- Abrasion Cycle
- Color Stability
- Top Coating Adhesion
This is both a quality guarantee and a long-term quality commitment.
4) Tracking Feedback and Optimization System
Even after materials have been mass-produced and shipped, excellent manufacturers continue to follow up on usage feedback and continuously optimize subsequent batches. This is especially important in a global supply chain, significantly reducing the risk of rework and returns.

PU Leather Customization Process and Key Control Points
The base fabric structure is the “skeleton” of PU leather; different skeletons determine the overall mechanical properties of the material.
Common base fabric structures and typical applications:
| Base Fabric Type | Main Advantages | Recommended Use Cases |
| High-Density Knitted Base Fabric | Balances softness, folding resistance, and stability | Furniture, car seats |
| Woven Base Fabric | High strength, tear resistance | Highly durable products |
| Non-woven Fiber Base Fabric | Lightweight and soft | Electronic casings, lightweight goods |
| Microfiber Reinforced Base Fabric | Premium feel | High-end handbags, appliance fabrics |
Coating System Design
PU coating is not a simple single layer, but a structural system composed of multiple functional layers stacked together, each with a specific function:
- Base Coating: Provides the basic structure and adhesion
- Middle Layer: Determines thickness, elasticity, and overall abrasion resistance
- Top Layer: Determines feel, appearance, stain resistance, and abrasion resistance
The overall performance of high-quality PU leather is not just about “looking good,” but about the targeted design of each layer. For example:
- For oil resistance: Apply a stain-resistant coating to the surface.
- For sweat resistance: The top coating must be enhanced with chemical resistance.
- For scrub resistance: Enhance the abrasion resistance structure of the middle coating.
Practical Advice: Clearly define your actual needs during the sample communication stage (e.g., stain resistance, sweat resistance, abrasion resistance, etc.), rather than simply saying “I want a pretty color.”
Surface Treatment and Texture Refinement Design
PU leather not only needs to meet structural performance requirements but also needs to satisfy the product’s aesthetic expectations.
Yudeng supports the following surface design features:
- Multiple embossed textures (matte fine lines, simulated leather textures, tech-inspired textures, etc.)
- Multiple gloss levels (high gloss, semi-matte, full matte)
- Different tactile sensations (silky, soft, dry)
- Customized logo embossing or brand identification markings
These are not simple decorations, but rather a product expression achieved through different molds, embossing depths, and coating structures.


Applications in Balls and Sporting Goods: Advantages of Pu Leather
Sporting goods, especially balls like soccer, basketball, and volleyball, place extremely high demands on materials. They must withstand prolonged friction and impact while maintaining excellent feel and control. This is precisely where Pu synthetic leather shines.
Why is Pu synthetic leather so popular in balls?
- Excellent wear resistance: Training and match balls endure thousands of kicks and abrasions daily, and Pu leather maintains its surface integrity.
- Comfortable feel: Its soft touch and ergonomic design make it easier for athletes to display their skills.
- Weather resistance: Pu leather is more stable than PVC in rainy, humid, and high-temperature conditions.
- High-end positioning: Official balls for international tournaments are mostly made of Pu synthetic leather to ensure fair and professional competition.
Pu leather is widely used not only in balls but also in sports shoes, boxing gloves, fitness equipment, and other products due to its combination of softness, durability, and aesthetics. For manufacturers, Pu synthetic leather provides a stable material base, ensuring products maintain performance in harsh environments.
