First distinguish between moldy shoes and simple dampness
Abnormalities in the arrival of shoes are recorded in groups such as uppers, shoelaces, linings, shoe boxes and wrapping paper. On-site inspections over the years have recorded moisture differences in shoelaces under different packaging conditions and mould of leather in stock. Based on this, we carried out spot inspections of the same batch and divided the processing scope.
Remove the old filling and inspect the inside and outside of the shoe
repacking Remove the old padding, unfold and inspect the upper, tongue, laces, lining and seams. We match cleaning agents according to materials and adhesive parts, and establish batch rework conditions through trial processing of representative shoe materials.
Cleaning, mould proofing and drying are done continuously
After cleaning the visible mould spots, complete the anti-mould treatment and sufficient drying according to the corresponding process, and compare the colour, feel and adhesive parts. The working area is equipped with exhaust, and personnel are protected according to safety information; the drying conditions are matched with shoe materials, and damaged parts are classified and disposed of.

The shoe box and lining are replaced simultaneously
The affected wrapping paper and shoe boxes will be replaced simultaneously, and the new lining and cardboard should be checked for dryness and cleanliness before packaging. Check the surface layer and middle cardboard of the film-coated box. The anti-mould and moisture-absorbing materials should be matched according to the hole position, sealing, transportation time and material status.

Bring the discovered problems back to production and warehousing
Traceability and rectification of materials, glue, production, packaging and warehousing after rework. Problems such as moisture near the water curtain, grounding of goods, and lack of humidity records were found on site. We will incorporate these into process adjustments and fixed-point reviews for subsequent orders.

Frequently asked questions
How to divide the scope of rework when shoe boxes become moldy?
We open the packaging and inspect the filling, laces, tongues and linings of the shoes, and divide the processing scope of the same batch of goods based on abnormalities in the shoe boxes.
How do you set up a mass rework process for footwear?
We use representative shoe materials for trial processing, compare the colour, feel and adhesive parts, and then formulate a batch cleaning, mould prevention, drying and packaging process.
After replacing the anti-mould card, do I still need to replace the old wrapping paper?
Replace damp or contaminated paper and shoe boxes. After the shoe materials are cleaned, mould-proofed and dried, repackage them with clean packaging materials and corresponding mould-proof configurations.
