On April 10, 2025, the ISUE 2025 International School Uniform & Kindergarten Uniform Exhibition kicked off in Shanghai under the theme “Guided by Culture, Inspired by Education — Together We Foster the Beauty of Chinese School Uniforms.” The event showcased the industry’s transformation from functionality to quality and digital intelligence.
Amid intense industry competition, Jiangsu Junlin Textile Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Junlin Textile”) served as a pioneer in cold-dyeing technology for school uniform fabrics. Presenting its “CVC Air Layer Cold-Dyeing Process” and “Recycled Polyester-Bamboo-Cotton Double-Faced Antibacterial Health Fabric” solutions, Junlin quickly became the center of attention at the exhibition.
Leveraging a Vertically Integrated Supply Chain, Junlin Strengthens Its Technological Foundations. Founded in 2017, Junlin Textile has built a vertically integrated enterprise encompassing fabric design, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, lamination, and garment manufacturing, leveraging the resource advantages of the Frank.l.m Group. Equipped with advanced international dyeing and finishing machinery—including Switzerland’s Benninger cold-dyeing machine, Italy’s Dani dyeing vats, and Germany’s Monforts stenter—Junlin also operates an independent R&D center, a CNAS-accredited laboratory, and a team of professional technical experts. The company is committed to providing safe, eco-friendly, and durable high-quality fabric solutions for the school uniform industry.
At this exhibition, Junlin Textile centered its presentation around “Cold-Dyeing Smart Technology” and “Dual-Sided Functional Aesthetics,” with a strong focus on two major product lines: the Air Layer Series and the Piqué Series. Through technical demonstrations, finished product displays, and interactive experiences, Junlin offered a comprehensive showcase of its innovative approach to the high-quality development of school uniform fabrics.
Cold-Dyeing Technology: An Eco-Friendly Revolution Ushering in a New Chapter for the Industry. As a pioneer of cold-dyeing technology for school uniform fabrics in China, Junlin Textile drew significant industry attention with its featured cold-dyeing process. Unlike conventional high-temperature, energy-intensive vat dyeing, Junlin’s method—developed in-house and implemented using Switzerland’s Benninger cold-dyeing system—achieves three major breakthroughs by precisely controlling dyeing at low temperatures.
Quality Upgrade: Cold-dyeing technology enhances fabric smoothness and color vibrancy by reducing friction and heat damage during processing. It delivers superior color fastness, surpassing the national GB/T 31888 standard, and significantly improves the wash durability of dark-colored school uniforms—solving common fading issues after repeated laundering.
Energy Saving & Eco-Friendly: Compared to traditional dyeing methods, the cold-dyeing process drastically reduces water and electricity consumption, significantly cutting carbon emissions. This aligns with the industry's transition under China’s dual carbon (“carbon peak and neutrality”) strategy. Notably, Junlin Textile has built its own wastewater treatment system with a daily capacity of 5,000 tons, making a meaningful contribution to energy conservation and emissions reduction.
Health & Safety: The cold-dyeing process uses fewer dyes, chemicals, and auxiliaries, minimizing wastewater and surface residue. Dyes penetrate deep into the fiber, reducing excess dye on the fabric’s surface. The fabrics have passed both the GB/T 31888 and T/CTCA 14-2023 High-Quality School Uniform standards, Offers skin-friendly safety protection tailored for youth.
Cold-dyeing is not just a technological innovation—it's a sustainable upgrade path for the school uniform industry. At the exhibition, Junlin’s theme“Cold-Dyeing Tech: More Energy-Saving, More Health-Conscious” drew great attention from visitors. The samples were widely praised for their rich color expression and smooth, refined surface.
Reversible Fabric: A Dual Breakthrough in Function and Aesthetics. In response to common issues in school uniforms such as “uniformity”and “lack of comfort,” Junlin Textile’s newly launched double-sided air-layer fabric has sparked widespread discussion in the design community with its “one fabric, wearable on both sides” concept.
This fabric is developed using an original “composite structural process”: One side features a color-woven blend of polyester and bamboo fiber, combining bamboo’s natural antibacterial properties with polyester’s vibrant color expression and high color fastness. This fusion of nature and performance aligns with the evolving demands of the “Green School Uniform & Functional Apparel 3.0 Era.”The reverse side uses 100% Cotton Mélange Compact Siro-Spun Yarn, offering a classic look with enhanced durability and skin-friendly comfort, while also maintaining the insulation and shape retention benefits of air-layer fabrics.
Technical experts note: “This is not a product that can be easily replicated with equipment alone. From raw material selection to precise process control, every stage requires years of technical accumulation.”This spirit of research-driven innovation, combined with a self-owned, vertically integrated supply chain, deep textile expertise, and a relentless pursuit of quality, forms the core competitiveness of Junlin Textile.
Innovative “Double-Sided Wear” Design: Merging Functionality with Creative Expression. Junlin’s groundbreaking “double-sided wear” concept not only meets the functional needs of school uniforms but also opens up new possibilities for design creativity. The concept drew significant attention from industry professionals at the exhibition, especially among school uniform design teams. Many visitors expressed strong interest, with several clients initiating cooperation discussions on-site.
Industry Spotlight: Technology-Driven Breakthrough in the School Uniform Sector. Junlin Textile’s distinctive designs and advanced processes attracted a continuous stream of professional inquiries during the ISUE 2025 exhibition, garnering particular interest from school uniform designers. Many attendees expressed a clear intention for deeper collaboration. The ISUE 2025 exhibition marked a pivotal moment in the school uniform industry’s evolution—from traditional “manufacturing” to intelligent “smart manufacturing.” Through the innovative integration of cold-dyeing technology and reversible functional fabrics, Junlin not only showcased the strength of domestic textile innovation but also demonstrated how a fully integrated and eco-conscious supply chain can precisely meet the core demands of school uniforms—safety, comfort, and aesthetics. This has positioned Junlin as a model of both “new productive forces” and “green manufacturing” in the industry.
As embodied in the slogan "Care Beyond One Side", Junlin is driving value transformation in the school uniform sector through technological innovation—making each uniform not just a “second skin” that supports students’ healthy growth, but also a powerful carrier of sustainable development values. With the accelerated arrival of the “School Uniform 3.0 Era,” this transformation, sparked by textile innovation, is set to reshape the future landscape of the entire industry.
