Protective Film

Our gloves with the highest quality latex are carefully packaged with a tight plastic protective film. This is intentionally done to maintain the stickiness of the gloves during transit.

Peeling off plastic film from goalkeeper gloves is a simple yet delicate task that requires patience and attention to detail to avoid damaging the latex.
Here is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to effectively remove the plastic film from your goalkeeper gloves without causing any harm to the latex.

Step 1: Look for an undone/loose section of plastic.

Begin by examining your gloves to identify any section where the plastic film has come undone or loosened. Typically, this will be around the edges of the glove, or around the thumb section where the film has not fully adhered to the latex surface.

Step 2: Start pulling slowly

Once you have located an area where the plastic film is coming off, start to slowly pull the film away from the glove. Use your fingers to grasp the edge of the film, making sure not to pull too hard or too quickly.

If the film is stubborn and not coming off easily, standard practice would be to use a pair or tweezers and slowly & gently begin pulling the film off.

It is also imperital that you do not put the tweezers in contact with the latex itself as this will pick deep into the material, resulting in unnecessary damage.

Step 3: Avoid damaging the latex

As you peel off the plastic film, be sure to proceed slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the latex. The latex surface of your goalkeeper gloves is delicate and can tear easily, especially if it is already weakened by wear and tear.

Step 4: Take your time

Take your time and work your way around the edges of the glove, carefully peeling away the plastic film. If you encounter any resistance or find that the film is not coming off easily, stop and take a break. Come back to the task with a fresh perspective and renewed patience.

Remember to take your time and proceed carefully. If the plastic is removed hastily or if it is pinched, there is a possibility that small pieces of latex may accidentally tear off.
If this occurs, there is no need to worry. Your gloves will still perform perfectly fine, providing you with the superior grip our gloves possess.
