Still gluing rhinestones by hand? There's a better way.
In the sandal industry, crystal-embellished footwear is one of the fastest-growing segments —
projected to grow 8.2% annually through 2028.
But here's the problem most manufacturers face:
Hand-placing rhinestones = 50–80 pairs/day per worker
Inconsistent heating = stones falling off after 1–2 washes
Alignment errors = 8–15% defect rate
Skilled workers take months to train — and they leave
We engineered a Rhinestone Press Machine specifically for sandal uppers that solves every one of
these problems:
10× Production Speed — 800 to 1,500+ pairs per day with a single machine
Wash-Proof Bonding — uniform temperature (150–180°C) and pressure across the entire upper;
stones survive 50+ wash cycles
Precision Placement — silicone mold technology delivers ±0.1mm accuracy; defect rate drops
below 1%
Zero Skill Barrier — any operator can learn in 30 minutes; swap molds in 5 minutes for a new
design
60% Labor Cost Reduction — one operator replaces 8–10 hand workers
Compatible with: PVC, TPU, PU, EVA, and leather uppers (0.5–2.0mm thickness)
Works with: SS6 to SS30 hot-fix crystals, flat-back rhinestones, pearls, studs
Whether you're producing elegant evening sandals, trendy slides, or children's crystal sandals —
this machine scales with you.
