What Is
RF Welding?
RF welding, also known as radio frequency sealing or RF heat sealing, is a high-frequency process that uses electromagnetic energy to bond materials at the molecular level. This method creates durable, airtight, and waterproof seams without the need for stitching or adhesives.
For industries requiring a clean, strong, and consistent finish—such as outdoor gear or financial accessories—RF welding offers a high-integrity solution. Unlike adhesives that can degrade over time or stitching that compromises material integrity, RF welding fuses compatible materials seamlessly and reliably.
At Eric Scott, we use RF sealing to create long-lasting, precision-welded seams in soft goods and composite materials, combining modern manufacturing methods with a legacy of American craftsmanship.

We’ve Got The
Answers
We know you have questions about RF welding and the manufacturing process, so we’ve done our best to address some of the most common questions that we receive. Our team loves to talk about all things manufacturing, so if you have additional questions about anything not covered below, we encourage you to reach out to us directly so we can assist.
RF welding works best on materials with dielectric properties, such as vinyl, TPU, coated nylons, synthetic leathers, and other thermoplastics. Our team can help determine if your specific material is compatible with RF sealing.
Stitching pierces the material and requires thread, while RF sealing uses heat and pressure to fuse materials at the seam. This results in stronger, leak-proof joins without punctures or adhesives—ideal for products requiring waterproof or airtight seams.
Yes. We specialize in white-label and contract manufacturing, and offer product development, packaging, and branding support tailored to your needs. Our team can help bring your branded products to market with complete discretion.
Once your product is developed and approved, typical lead times range from 3–6 weeks depending on complexity, materials, and order volume. Rush services may be available—contact us to discuss your timeline requirements.
Absolutely. RF welded seams are weatherproof, making them ideal for outdoor gear, industrial protective covers, dry bags, and other applications where durability and water resistance are essential.
