September 19, 2026 — HIGHER, a professional OEM/ODM manufacturer of inflatable water leisure products with 13 years of manufacturing expertise, has completed the loading and dispatch of a full container of TPU packrafts and inflatable kayaks from its production facility. The shipment is bound for North American distribution partners and reflects sustained seasonal demand across the whitewater, backcountry touring, and outdoor recreation markets.
Every packraft and kayak in this shipment is constructed from 420D and 840D TPU fabric using High-Frequency Thermal Welding — a process that uses precisely controlled electromagnetic energy to bond TPU layers at the molecular level, producing seams that are watertight, flexible, and consistently reproducible across production batches. Unlike adhesive-bonded alternatives, thermally welded seams require no curing time and carry no risk of delamination under repeated flex cycles, making them the preferred construction method for products subjected to extended whitewater and offshore use.
The container includes units configured with German TIZIP® waterproof zippers — a specification commonly requested by expedition outfitters and backcountry rental operators who require dry-bag integration with the packraft body. Accessories across the container — including manual dual-direction pumps, repair kits, and compression carry bags — are packed per unit, ensuring distribution partners can fulfill individual retail orders without additional kitting.
HIGHER produces its D-rings, webbing handles, and valve assemblies in-house rather than sourcing them from third-party hardware suppliers. For this container, every finished unit passed HIGHER's mandatory 48-hour pressure-retention test before packing — a factory-floor quality control standard that has consistently kept warranty claim rates low for distribution partners operating in demanding seasonal environments.
The R&D team of 12 engineers supports ongoing product development across HIGHER's TPU line, with current projects focused on packraft floor-reinforcement geometry and improved self-bailing drain-port placement for class IV whitewater applications. OEM/ODM partners interested in custom TPU configurations can engage the team directly through the standard inquiry channel.
This dispatch maintains HIGHER's export cadence of three to four containers per week across its full product range. The company offers DDP and CIF logistics terms to North American and European ports, with confirmed lead times communicated at the order stage to support seasonal stocking timelines.
Distribution partners, brand agents, and wholesalers looking to source packrafts, inflatable kayaks, or TPU water sports equipment for the 2027 season are encouraged to begin conversations now to secure production slots.
