SNAPBACK LINER – GRADE 6A 100% MULBERRY SILK CHARMEUSE (Patent Pending)

Unlined plastic snap closures often have sharp edges that can press into the skin, leading to significant discomfort. Additionally, prolonged contact between plastic and skin isn’t ideal, as plastic materials can be absorbed by the skin over time and are not considered skin-safe. If you own a snapback style hat, Our Patent Pending Snapback Liner is a must have accessory.

Made from temperature-regulating natural silk fibers, the Snapback Liner delivers lasting comfort, breathability, and a smoother wearing experience—all while protecting your skin from the harshness of plastic components.

Silk is typically graded by:

Grade (A, B, C) – Quality and condition of silk fibers.

Number (1 to 6) – Fineness and purity, with 6 being the highest.

Grade 6A represents the pinnacle—but keep in mind it’s comparatively scarce and priced accordingly

• Non-Toxic & Naturally Hypoallergenic, Ideal for sensitive scalps or skin.
• Quick drying, moisture wicking performance.
• Designed for athletes and fashion-forward individuals who value both style & self-care.
• Enhances structure and delivers a clean, polished finish to the snapback closure.
• Wrap around edges completely eliminates fabric peel off as you remove and replace the hat on your head.
• Eco-Friendly material – containing several amino acids and proteins that nourish and protect your hair and skin.
• Reduces hair breakage & pulling
• Temperature regulating – Silk’s natural temperature regulation keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Thickness levels range from LEVEL 1 (Thinnest 0.5 mm) – LEVEL 5 (Thickest 4.5 mm). The distance between each snap on a snapback closure is generally 9 mm so our level 5 Snapback liner option will create 1/2 of a snap thickness.

Example:
Our Level 1 Snapback Liner is designed for minimal impact, offering a thin profile that maintains the original feel and fit of your hat. Its primary function is to create a soft, skin-friendly barrier between the plastic snapback closure and your skin or hair—effectively reducing friction and irritation, especially for those who wear their hats backwards or if you have very short hair / shaved head.

• LEVEL 1 ( 0.5 mm ) – Maintains original feel of the hat, provides a natural protective barrier between the skin / hair and the plastic snapback closure
• LEVEL 2 ( 1.0 mm ) – Slightly thicker for more cushioning but still maintains the original fit & feel of the hat for the most part.
• LEVEL 3 ( 1.5 mm ) – Creates a seamless inner sweatband effect with most snapback hats
• LEVEL 4 ( 2.0 mm ) – Creates a seamless inner sweatband effect with most snapback hats with thicker materials
• LEVEL 5 – THICKNESS CUSTOMIZED TO CUSTOMER REQUEST ( UP TO 4.5 mm )

FIRST TO MARKET – HYBRID SNAPBACK / FITTED BASEBALL CAP
The snapback style you love with the comfort and fit of a true fitted cap.
If your main objective is to achieve a seamless feeling 360° sweatband for a consistent fit, similar to a fitted baseball cap; Level 3 ( 1.5 mm ) or Level 4 ( 2.0 mm ) liners are generally the most common for accomplishing this. They offer a balanced combination of comfort, consistency, and secure fit around the full interior ring of the cap. However, every hat fits differently, we recommend testing the fit first to determine which liner thickness will deliver the most natural, snug feel for your head shape and style.

• Variable thickness levels are designed for you to create the perfect fit for your hat and to adjust the “DIP” depth on the plastic snap closure. You can keep it thin or build it up as needed to make your hat fit just right. If you get a haircut or growing your hair out, the liners can also help with solving the problem of having your hat feel too loose or too tight by reducing or building up the thickness level options.

Snapback convenience. Fitted feel. No compromises.

SNAPBACK LINER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Adjust the Snapback Closure:
Before installing the Snapback Liner, adjust the snapback closure to your preferred fit.
Tip: If the first snap feels too tight and the next up feels too loose, choose the looser snap and install a thicker Snapback Liner to achieve a more secure fit.

2. Clean the Closure:
Thoroughly clean the plastic snapback closure using an alcohol swab to remove any dirt, oil, or residue. This helps ensure proper adhesive bonding.

3. Prepare the Liner:
Select the desired liner thickness.
Tip: Before removing the release liner, you can gently warm the silk side of the Snapback Liner (NOT THE RELEASE LINER SIDE) using an iron on a low setting. This isn’t completely necessary, but it does make the liner slightly more flexible and enhance the adhesive’s ability to bond with the plastic closure.

3. Install the Liner:
Remove the release liner to expose the adhesive. Carefully align the Snapback Liner with the edges of the plastic closure and press it into place.

4. Trim to Fit:
Use scissors to trim the liner so it fully covers the plastic snapback closure from edge to edge — essentially creating a seamless, 360° continuation of the sweatband.

5. Final Bonding:
Once the liner is installed, use an iron set to low heat and gently glide it over the silk surface of the liner for a few seconds. This slight warming helps activate the adhesive, enhancing the bond between the liner and the plastic closure.

⚠️ Caution: Do not overheat. Excessive heat can warp or deform the plastic closure. The goal is to gently warm the material—not to apply direct or prolonged heat.

6. Reusability:
The Snapback Liner can be removed and reinstalled multiple times, provided the adhesive side is kept clean and protected. To preserve the adhesive between uses, place the liner adhesive-side down on a sheet of parchment paper when not in use.
