UltraCushion Layering™
The UltraCushion Layering™ lamination process exemplifies Caello’s innovative approach to soccer ball construction,
focusing on durability, touch, and player satisfaction.
★ Initial Layer Application: The process begins with a latex layer applied to the PU surface material, forming the ball’s foundational durability layer.
★ EVA Foam Lamination: Incorporates a 4.0mm layer of EVA foam, firmer than the PRO line, to resist long training sessions without deforming.
★ Heating Chamber Drying: Utilizes a precision-controlled heating chamber to ensure adequate bonding of the layers, which is crucial for maintaining quality.
★ Final Drying Process: Concludes with a thorough drying phase, solidifying the construction and setting the stage for a superior playing experience.
3X the comfort with a soft and precise touch to let you head and kick the ball without hesitation
Precision Panel Cutting
This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the ball's behaviour in flight, ensuring that players can trust its
trajectory and response during the most vital game moments.
★ Cutting Process Initiation: The cutting process commences after thoroughly drying the lamination sheets. This step marks the transition from preparing the materials to shaping them into their functional form.
★ Precision Cutting Technique: The PU and foam sheets are precisely cut with sharp knives according to the specific ball layout. This precision isn't just about following a template; it's also about ensuring each panel is crafted perfectly to optimize performance.
★ Shape and Size Accuracy: The cutting accuracy directly impacts the ball's aerodynamic properties. Every panel is meticulously shaped, a testament to Caello's commitment to producing a soccer ball that performs consistently in play.
Smooth flight pattern is 1.5X more predictable and gives the player more confidence in long passes, crosses, free kicks and corners
High-Quality Printing
This detailed and careful printing process ensures that each soccer ball produced by Caello Sports performs excellently and has a
visually appealing and long-lasting design, enhancing the overall experience for players.
★ Silk Screen Printing: The silk screen printing method is a precise way of applying designs to cut panels.
★ Reactive Inks: Caello employs high-quality, reactive inks for printing. These inks are chosen for their vibrant colours and durability, ensuring the designs remain sharp and vivid even with extensive use.
★ Sequential Color Application: Each colour is applied individually, ensuring meticulous attention to detail, bright and accurate colours, and a high level of definition.
★ Drying Process: After applying each colour, the panels must dry for a specific time. This meticulous drying process is necessary to correctly set the inks, prevent smudging or fading, and maintain the ball's aesthetic quality.

ShapeLock Bladder Stability™
This bladder patching process by Caello Sports is a testament to the brand's innovation in soccer ball technology. The advanced technique focuses on enhancing the ball's core – the bladder – pivotal for its overall performance and longevity. By carefully integrating specialized materials and processes, ShapeLock Bladder Stability™ ensures that players experience a ball that remains true to form and function throughout its lifespan.
★ Fabric Integration: Expertly applying durable fabric using a latex blend to reinforce the bladder.
★ Shape and Size Maintenance: Ensures the bladder retains its ideal shape and size for consistent play.
★ Enhanced Durability: Boosts the ball's lifespan, withstanding rigorous play conditions.
★ Consistent Playability: A predictable and accurate response is crucial for high-level soccer skills.
The fabric around the bladder will enhances up to 100% the movement stability durint bouncing and kicking, making the ball more predictable for passes and long shots.
The EVA Bonding process is a pivotal step in producing Caello's soccer balls, focusing on the fusion of the PU and EVA foam panels. This stage is not just about adhering to these materials; it's about creating a ball that excels in durability and performance.
EVA Bonding
★ Latex Bonding Technique: Utilizes latex to create a strong bond between the PU and EVA foam panels.
★ Dimensional Precision: Ensures the smaller foam panel is perfectly aligned with the larger PU panel, a critical factor in the ball's construction.
★ Structural Contribution: This bonding process significantly contributes to the overall integrity and longevity of the ball.
★ Influence on Ball Dynamics: The bonding process of EVA and PU directly impacts the ball's handling, response, and feel during play.
EdgeWrap Forming
EdgeWrap Forming is a crucial step in producing the Caello soccer balls. hydraulic machineS carefully shape each panel for assembly, ensuring the PU edge wraps around the foam panel.
This high level of craftsmanship contributes to the superior quality and performance of our gear.
★ Hydraulic Precision: Utilizes a hydraulic machine to turn the PU edge.
★ Panel Shape Preparation: This is essential in preparing each panel for the seamless joining process.
★ Key to Assembly Readiness: The EdgeWrap Forming stage ensures panels are ready for assembly.
★ Impact on Final Ball Shape: Plays a significant role in defining the soccer ball's final shape and structure.
Perfectly aligned panels is the most crucial step in getting a superior roundness in soccer balls.
The edge of the panel is precisely folded, more contact area is formed so the glue has more to adhere to in the next fusion phase of this building process.
This step alone is responsible for differentiating a perfect round, stable and resistant ball from their counterparts with subpar technology.
Panel Joining
Panel Joining is critical in creating the two halves of the soccer ball. This process starts by coating the turned edges of the panels with a specialized PU adhesive. After the adhesive dries, the panels are precisely joined by heating, ensuring precision and readiness for final assembly.
★ PU Adhesive Coating: A strong bond is achieved by applying specialized adhesive to the edges.
★ Drying for Strength: Properly drying the adhesive is crucial to ensure optimal adhesion.
★ Heated Joining: Panels are joined through heating, solidifying the bond.
★ Preparation of Halves: This step results in two perfectly formed halves ready for the final assembly
Thermal Fusion & Shaping
The Thermal Fusion & Shaping step is crucial for ensuring the soccer ball's final, professional-grade quality and
durability and optimal performance in play.
★ Pressurized Heated Machine: A specialized machine presses and heats the two ball halves together.
★ Air Vacuum: The machine creates an air vacuum, pulling the PU halves toward its walls, ensuring a tight and even joint.
★ Bladder Inflation and Fusion: The bladder is inflated to its maximum, allowing it to adhere perfectly to the PU surface.
★ Heating for Fusion: The machine heats the ball for a preset time to fuse the bladder and surface material seamlessly.
★ Shaping Mould: Once joined, the ball is placed in a shaping mould, which irons out any irregularities and ensures a perfect spherical shape.
