Traditional leather production significantly harms the environment, requiring large amounts of water and energy, and releasing harmful chemicals that pollute soil and water. The demand for livestock also leads to deforestation and biodiversity loss, worsening the ecological crisis. With growing global awareness of sustainability, finding eco-friendly alternatives has become essential. The innovative use of reusable materials like apple waste to create leather alternatives is particularly important.

Recently, the fashion and leather industries have sought solutions to reduce their environmental impact. A notable advancement is converting apple waste into leather alternatives, which helps minimize waste and promotes sustainability in an industry criticized for resource-intensive practices.

The Danish company Beyond Leather Materials has partnered with polymer producer Covestro to develop an innovative leather alternative made from apple waste generated during the production of apple juice and cider.

From Waste to High-End Material

Every year, approximately 4 million tons of waste are produced globally from apple juice and cider production. This waste is often viewed as a useless burden, ultimately discarded or burned, leading to significant resource waste and environmental pollution. However, Beyond Leather Materials has creatively transformed these previously discarded materials into an eco-friendly leather alternative—a new type of leather material—through innovative technology.

They begin by filtering out fibers such as seeds and stems from the apple waste, which contain high levels of polymers. This is followed by a series of reactions to create a strong and flexible material, which is then combined with a textile base layer. Finally, a protective layer produced by Covestro is applied to the surface.

Beyond Leather has positioned this material as a preferred new-generation option for various industries and applications, including the backpack industry and furniture sector. In the near future, this material may even be used in automotive interiors.

At Synberry, we are always focused on sustainable development and environmental innovation. We are confident in this emerging material that transforms apple waste into leather alternatives and see its enormous potential in the backpack industry. In the future, we plan to explore the application of this eco-friendly material in our products, creating backpacks that are both stylish and sustainable, meeting the dual demands of modern consumers for environmental friendliness and high quality. Through these efforts, we hope to contribute to protecting the Earth while providing our customers with more innovative choices.

This is undoubtedly an eternal topic that the backpack industry has been continuously exploring since its inception. In the design and manufacturing process of backpacks, there is no uniform standard answer to how to create products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also favored by a wide range of customers. After all, the feeling of beauty is subjective, and everyone's pursuit and definition of beauty are diverse.

Children always have a special fondness for cartoon elements, and kids cute backpacks are decorated with lovely and charming animated characters. Who could say that their childhood lacked a lovely and charming animated character? These characters have almost become an indispensable companion of their childhood. Young people pursue fashion, and they tend to choose backpacks with bright colors and bold designs, which can quickly attract their attention. However, for mature and steady middle-aged people, they may not be attracted by these bold designs, and they prefer classic and timeless design styles. Retro and classic elements can often evoke good and interesting memories in their hearts.

Although everyone's perception of beauty is different, there are some universally recognized basic principles that comply with the public's aesthetic when designing popular backpacks.

 

Color Matching and Patterns

To create an eye-catching backpack, the first step is to carefully select the color matching. Whether it is soft pastel colors, natural earth tones, or bright and vibrant colors, they can create a unique style. Skillfully integrating popular patterns, such as flowers, geometric shapes, or abstract art, can enhance the visual impact. The key is to ensure the harmony and unity of color and pattern to create an eye-catching overall effect.

 

Material Selection

The material of the backpack not only affects its durability but also greatly determines its appearance. Using high-quality fabrics, such as canvas, denim, or eco-friendly materials, can enhance the design level. Consider using materials with a rich texture, such as corduroy or suede, to add a sense of hierarchy. At the same time, the clever combination of contrasting materials, such as leather trim or mesh pockets, can add a touch of fun and complexity to the design.

It is worth mentioning that eco-friendly materials are indeed an intrinsic aesthetic element in backpack design. They not only provide a natural and simple beauty visually but also reflect care and responsibility for the environment in material selection. This environmentally friendly design concept is a powerful aesthetic force in itself, which can touch people's yearning for nature and a sustainable lifestyle.

 

Allowing customers to personalize their backpacks can make them more attractive. Providing options such as detachable patches, embroidered names, or color embellishments allows users to express their personality. This not only makes the backpack unique but also adds aesthetic elements that resonate with consumers.

 

In summary, designing a backpack that is both beautiful and practical is an art and a challenge. It requires designers to deeply understand the aesthetic preferences of the target user group while continuously innovating to perfectly combine fashion elements with practical functions. From lively cartoon patterns to simple modern designs, from the selection of eco-friendly materials to personalized customization services, every detail reflects the designer's pursuit of beauty and deep insight into user needs.

In this diverse world, a backpack is not only a tool for carrying items but also a reflection of personal style and attitude towards life. A successful backpack design not only meets functional needs but also touches people's hearts and conveys emotions, becoming an indispensable part of people's lives. Synberry has always been committed to the aesthetics of backpacks, combining the continuous progress of design technology and the emergence of new materials. We believe that future backpack designs will be more diverse, personalized, and visually attractive. Let us look forward to and create more beautiful and practical backpacks together, making them shine in people's lives.

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and anti-RFID technologies are gaining traction in various industries, including the school backpack sector.

RFID technology harnesses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to various objects. In the backpack industry, embedding RFID tags within backpacks can offer a wealth of valuable information. To use this technology, simply hold a scanner within a few centimeters of the chip, and it will wirelessly read the data stored within the chip.

 

In the student backpack industry, RFID mainly serves the following purposes.

Inventory Management: RFID tags significantly enhance inventory management by allowing manufacturers and retailers to monitor stock levels in real time. With RFID readers, staff can quickly scan items in a warehouse or store, ensuring accurate stock counts. This minimizes the risk of stockouts, where customers cannot find products, or overstocks, where excess inventory ties up resources.

Customer Engagement: Brands can leverage RFID technology to create personalized experiences for customers. For example, when a customer scans their RFID-enabled backpack, they can access tailored content, including care instructions, usage tips, or even videos showcasing how to best utilize the product. This engagement not only enhances customer satisfaction but also builds brand loyalty.

 

Anti-Theft Measures: RFID tags can play a critical role in theft prevention and recovery. When a backpack with an RFID tag is stolen, RFID readers can help locate it by tracking its movements within range. Some companies even partner with law enforcement to facilitate the recovery process, adding an extra layer of security for consumers.

Although RFID technology offers many conveniences, the ability to quickly read information wirelessly without authorization has also raised concerns about data breaches. As a result, anti-RFID technology—RFID shielding materials has emerged.

Some backpacks now come equipped with RFID shielding pockets designed to block the sensitive information stored in RFID tags embedded in items such as passports and credit cards. These pockets utilize special materials that prevent unauthorized scanners from reading the data, effectively protecting customers' privacy and ensuring their security while traveling or shopping.

 

In summary, RFID technology is enhancing backpacks with improved inventory control and personalized customer experiences, while anti-RFID shielding preserves privacy. It's a win-win combination for functionality and security in the backpack industry.

Synberry is committed to respecting and safeguarding our customers' personal information. The adoption of RFID technology is aimed at enhancing our warehouse management and improving our service to customers.

Acrylic, known as "Orlon" in the United States and "Acrilan" or "Cashmilon" in other countries, it is the commercial name for polyacrylonitrile in China. It's one of three major types of synthetic fiber, ranking third in production after polyester and nylon. Soft, lightweight, warm, corrosion-resistant, and lightfast short fiber similar to wool, with lower density than wool, earning its nickname "artificial wool."

 

PERFORMANCE OF ACRYLIC

Form

The form varies with solvent and spinning method. The longitudinal surface of acrylic fiber has a few grooves. Fibers spun by the dry method have a dumbbell-shaped cross-section, while those spun by the wet method (using NaSCN as the solvent) are round.

 

Strength, Elongation,Elasticity

Acrylic fiber is fluffy, curly, and soft with good elasticity. However, it has large residual deformation after multiple stretches, making the cuffs and collars which is knitted or woven by arcylic prone to deformation.

Compared to wool:

• more than 10% lighter but more than twice as strong.
•  resilience is approximately equal to wool when stretched slightly.
•  Wool's resilience exceeds acrylic during wear.

 

Moisture Absorption and Dyeability

Due to its tight structure, acrylic fiber has low moisture absorption, with moisture regain of about 1.2-2.0% under normal atmospheric conditions. Its dyeability is poor but improves with the introduction of second and third monomers.

 

Thermal Conductivity and Heat Resilience

Heat Resilience:Rapidly cooling fiber under tension condition, fixing it with large internal stress, fiber is latent shrinkage when exposed to heat, that is heat resilience.

High-Shrinkage Acrylic Fiber:Fibers forced to stretch thermally under external force and possess heat elasticity.

 

Acid and Alkali Resistance

Acrylic fiber is acid-resistant but relatively sensitive to alkalis.

Lightfastness

Acrylic fiber excels in lightfastness and weather resistance, ranking best among common textile fibers. After one year of outdoor exposure, its strength decreases by only 5%, and its resistance to sunlight is twice that of wool and ten times that of cotton. Therefore, acrylic fiber is ideal for outdoor fabrics.

 

Other Properties

Acrylic has good heat resistance, with ironing temperature of 130-140°C. It with mold-resistant and insect-proof, but it has poor wear resistance and dimensional stability. Acrylic with relatively low density.

For example, worsted acrylic women's suit fabric made of 100% wool-type acrylic fiber has loose structure, vibrant color, soft and elastic handfeel, and texture that is neither loose nor worn out, suitable for making mid-to-low-end women's clothing. Using 100% acrylic bulk yarn as raw material, plain or twill acrylic bulk coat fabric can be produced, featuring full handfeel and the characteristics of a wool-like fabric that is warm and lightweight, suitable for making coats, casual wear, etc., for spring, autumn, and winter.

Note: if dyeing high bulky acrylic hank yarn need use cabinet hank yarn dyeing machine; if dyeing solid acrylic hank yarn can use normal temperature hank yarn spray dyeing machine

 

Acrylic Blended Fabric

Fabric blended with wool-type or medium-staple acrylic fiber and viscose or polyester. It includes acrylic/viscose gabardine, acrylic/viscose women's suit fabric and acrylic/polyester tweed. Acrylic/viscose gabardine, also known as Oriental gabardine, is a 50/50 blend of acrylic and viscose, featuring thick and tight fabric body, durability, smooth and soft surface similar to wool gabardine, but with poor elasticity and easy wrinkling, suitable for making inexpensive pants. Acrylic/viscose women's suit fabric is an 85/15 blend of acrylic and viscose, often woven in crepe weave, with slightly hairy surface, vibrant color, lightweight, good durability and poor resilience, suitable for making outerwear. Acrylic/polyester tweed is 40/60 blend of acrylic and polyester, processed in plain or twill weaves, featuring flat and stiff appearance, durability and wrinkle resistance, but poor comfort, making it suitable for making mid-range outerwear and suits.

 

 

There are numerous factors that influence the quality of dyed products, chief among them being equipment, dyes and chemicals, processes (procedures, formulations, conditions)  and operational factors. Occasionally, defects in dyeing can also arise due to chance occurrences. Therefore, when analyzing the root causes of quality issues, it's imperative to consider all aspects thoroughly to pinpoint the actual cause, allowing for resolution and prevention of recurring issues. According experience, product quality control measures can be implemented.

 

In this context, let's delve primarily into the impact of dyeing equipment on the quality of dyed products.

 

To achieve superior dyed products, not only must suitable dyes be selected based on the type of fiber and fabric, but also must appropriate textile dyeing machine be paired with customized and rational dyeing processes. Despite advancements in production technology and the continuous improvement of dyeing machinery, quality issues stemming from equipment are still not entirely avoidable.

The primary concern related to yarn dyeing machine and fabric dyeing machine is its operational stability, efactors such as machine speed, drying condition, temperature ramp-up and ramp-down rate, and pressure control. When these parameters are tightly controlled, the dyeing and finishing machinery can ensure consistent color reproduction and reproducibility.

 

Textile dyeing machine pivotal role in achieving even dyeing. To this end, the following requirements are crucial:

 

1. **Strong Dyeing Process Adaptability**: dyeing machine must be capable of accommodating a wide range of process parameters like temperature, pressure, speed, and treatment time, as well as adjustment to dyestuff and chemical, ensuring compatibility with new processes and technologies. This ensures uniform dyeing and meets other quality standards.

 

2. **High Automation Level**: Automated detection and adjustment of key process parameters minimize human errors, enhancing precision control. This ensures the repeatability of processes and stabilizes product quality.

 

3. **Versatility for Multi Processing**: Given the limited resources in dyeing plant and ever-changing market demands,  fabric and yarn dyeing equipment should be versatile, allowing for cost-effective processing of various fabric and yarn types while maintaining dyeing uniformity and meeting other quality criteria.

 

4. **Low-Tension or Loose Running**: Tension is a significant factor affecting dyeing evenness. High or uneven tension can easily lead to quality issues. Hence, dyeing equipment should operate with minimal or uniform tension, preferably in a loose-running mode. It is related with the design of dyeing machine structure.

In addition to the processes and operations defined, the color matching and dyeing levelness of products are intimately tied to the dyeing equipment chosen. The selected equipment must cater to the requirements of various dyeing processes, handle diverse product types, produce high-quality outputs, and be safe, durable, economical, high-speed, efficient, continuous, automated, low-energy consuming and environmentally friendly. In essence, the equipment must guarantee the quality of dyed product.

 

Cotton cone yarn dyeing,  process mainly consists of the following five steps:

PRETREATMENT

This step primarily removes natural impurities (cottonseed hulls, waxy substances, etc.) and pigmentum from the yarn, enhancing its whiteness and capillary effect to create conditions for dyeing processing.

 

DYEING

Each type of fiber has its unique dyeing characteristics, and yarn dyeing process is formulated based on  properties of cotton fibers (cellulose fibers) and reactive dyes. The process of package yarn dyeing involves applying pressure to dye solution in cone yarn dyeing machine using a pump, allowing the dye solution to penetrate from inner layer to outer layer of package yarn, thereby achieving uniform dyeing.

 

SOAPING

After dyeing, a large amount of hydrolyzed and unreacted dye remains on the surface of the yarn, which must be removed by adding soaping agent and washing under high temperature conditions (known as soaping). The role of soaping is to remove the floating dye on the yarn, improve the color brightness, and meet the fastness requirements of customers.

 

COLOR FIXATION

After soaping, for dark and medium color, fixing agent is added to achieve the processing requirements of subsequent finishing. The function of fixing agent is to form a protective film on the surface of the yarn to prevent dye from falling off during subsequent finishing processes.

 

SOFTENING

During the dyeing process, natural waxy substances on the yarn surface are destroyed, making the yarn feel harder. Therefore, after dyeing, a certain compound is added to the yarn to reduce friction between yarns, facilitating winding and subsequent weaving processes.
