The last thing a consumer wants to find in their food or pharmaceutical product is human hair and for this reason hygienic work environments are critical to businesses that make or package consumer food products, pharmaceuticals, assemble electronics or treat patients.

Hospitals need to keep wounds free from infection and factories can’t afford production shut downs or product recalls because of human contamination so many seek relief by implementing disposable bouffant hair caps for their production workers. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, they are inexpensive, simple to use and provide effective protection against product contamination. Bouffant caps or hair caps also keep an individuals hair out of their eyes when working and this increases productivity.

Bouffant caps differ from hair nets. Hair nets are made of nylon or polyester mesh material and are designed to stretch over the head and mat down the hair but if you look at one closely, you will notice a webbing effect. The webbing has openings or apetures which could inadvertently allow hair to pass through where as a bouffant cap is made from a layer of fabric free from apertures. Another difference between a hair net and bouffant cap is that a hair net is a little camoflouged when worn whereas a bouffant cap stands right out making it easier for compliance checks. Bouffant caps also present a clean look-n-feel to guests who might visit the plant for a tour.
