FAQ
Q: Are your 3.5 mm PUL soccer balls really made from PUL?
A: Yes. We had our 3.5 mm cover material third-party tested by Eurofins, a respected global testing laboratory. The laboratory confirmed the material is polyurethane (PU), which is what PUL (PU laminate) is made from.
You may see competitors suggest that our balls âcanât be PUL because of the price,â but the independent lab results say otherwise.
For transparency, weâve shared the report publicly:

Q: Why does the test report matter?
A: Many lower-quality balls are simply thin PVC or vinyl printed with a soccer pattern.
Our 3.5 mm balls are genuine PUL, which means:
Softer touch and better grip
Stronger abrasion resistance
More consistent shape
Better long-term performance
Higher durability under frequent use
The lab report gives you confidence that the ball youâre choosing is exactly what we claim it is.
Q: How do your machine-stitched balls compare to others on the market?
A: Most inexpensive machine-stitched balls use 1.6 mm PVC, or theyâre made from basic vinyl with a soccer print.
Our PVC balls use a 2.7 mm thick cover, which is sturdier, more durable outdoors, and holds up better in real-world field conditions.
Our PUL balls use an even thicker 3.5 mm cover plus a 2-ply butyl bladder for improved air retention and performance.
Q: What bladder materials do your balls use, and why does it matter?
A:
PVC balls (Size 4): Rubber bladder â reliable, flexible, and proven in rough outdoor play.
PUL balls (Size 3, 4, 5): 2-ply butyl bladder â holds air longer, keeps a rounder shape, and needs fewer re-inflations.
A better bladder means the ball stays playable longer, especially in communities where pumps are hard to find.
Q: Do your soccer balls include a pump?
A: Yes. Every ball set includes a compact pump, and the handle holds two inflation needles so they donât get lost during packing or travel.
Q: Which ball size is right for the age group?
A:
Size 3: Ages 2â4
Size 4: Ages 5â9 (most common for OCC shoeboxes)
Size 5: Ages 10 and older
These follow standard global soccer sizing.
Q: Are your soccer balls good for outdoor play?
A: Yes. Both PVC and PUL hold up well outdoors.
PVC is especially tough on rougher surfaces.
PUL offers better grip and touch.
Both are well-suited for ministry fields and community play worldwide.
