Food Processing Hairnets

Most (if not all) of those who work in the Food Processing industry is familiar with hairnets. They can also be referred to as bouffant or mob caps, berets, or even caterpillar or crimped hats. The primary purpose of a hairnet is to prevent hair from falling into production.  There can also be vast differences between the various types of hairnets.

  • Size
  • Shape

  • The elastic
  • The weld
  • The colour 
  • Packaging
