Hats, as one of the most basic clothing accessories in the world, continue to grow in market size. According to Statista data, the global hat and headwear market will exceed $30 billion in 2023, with sports outdoor hats and trendy hats accounting for over 60%. With the upgrading of consumers' demand for "functionality+comfort", traditional hats have gradually highlighted problems such as "stuffiness, indentation, and odor" caused by strong sealing and poor moisture and heat dissipation. Especially in high-temperature environments (such as outdoor in summer), high-intensity sports (such as running and cycling), or long-term wearing scenarios (such as commuting and labor), breathability has become the core pain point affecting user experience.
In this context, "punching ventilation holes" as the most direct and efficient solution to improve the breathability of hats has gradually evolved from a simple "functional remedy" in the early days to a core process of "design+function" integration, widely used in multiple segmented fields such as sports, outdoor, fashion, labor protection, etc., becoming a key selling point for differentiated competition of hat products.
Hat pads (especially baseball brim liners) require dense punching to achieve breathability. Traditional mechanical punching can easily lead to edge roughness, fabric damage, and a single hole pattern, while laser punching technology can achieve precise control of 0.1-2mm micropores, balancing breathability and fabric integrity (such as thin gauze, leather, etc.). The hole pattern is not limited by molds and can be designed freely using graphic design software such as CAD (such as droplet shaped, petal shaped), which is efficient and fast.
Recommended model：Cap Perforation and Cutting Solution
Model：JHX-12080/160100S/180100
The high-speed Galvo moving perforating and engraving machine is designed for efficient processing of textile materials and composite cap sheets. The high-speed Galvo is mounted on a movable gantry, and the Galvo is kept close to the platform. The laser beam is more vertical and delicate, reducing energy consumption while achieving large area precision high-speed perforation.
Product Features
1. Rapid drilling, leap in production capacity
Adopting a high-speed galvanometer system, the laser beam is precisely deflected in milliseconds, and the servo motor drive is combined with a magnetic grating ruler to accurately control the precise high-speed movement of the galvanometer lens. The drilling speed is 6-8 times faster than traditional equipment.
It can easily achieve high-density array holes with a diameter of 0.2mm-5mm, perfectly meeting various breathable and decorative hole requirements.
2. Precise cutting, perfect edges
Laser non-contact cutting, instant high-temperature automatic melting edge sealing, no burrs, no wire drawing, no burnt yellow, maintaining the crisp texture of the cap piece, and eliminating subsequent wire detachment problems.
3. Punching and cutting, integrated completion
A single positioning can complete all drilling and shape cutting processes, eliminating the need for secondary alignment and eliminating cumulative errors. Significantly improve the yield and efficiency.
4. Flexible and adaptable, easily responding to diverse needs
Multi functional and with strong software compatibility: seamless integration with AI \ CAD \ CrelDraw design files, one click import of hole patterns (round holes, square holes, irregular holes, carved textures).
5. Optional camera visual positioning, which can accurately carve and cut graphics.
Applicable materials and applications
Suitable for various fabrics, non-woven fabrics PVC、 Leather, PU leather, composite fabrics, etc.
Used for punching holes in sports and fitness hats (such as running hats, cycling hats, basketball hats), outdoor functional hats (sun hats, fishing hats, hiking hats), fashion trend hats (baseball hats, berets), and other hat pieces.
