Slide On. Snap In. Stand Out.

Patent Pending

SnapInk makes universal-fit, interchangeable snapback strap sleeves designed to slide over a standard plastic 7-peg closure. Add raised lettering, logos, and custom designs to the back of your hat while keeping its original strap.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SLEEVE
Make the space yours

Built for your next idea.

From a bold wordmark to a patch-inspired graphic, a SnapInk sleeve gives your artwork a place on the back of the hat.

Two ways to make it yours

Texture or direct print.

Partners can bring their own artwork, add embroidery, or create a design in SnapInk Studio for direct printing.

Embroidered patches

Apply embroidered patches to SnapInk sleeves with heat-activated adhesive. Embroidery is recommended for small, intricate artwork.

Hydbond is our recommended adhesive based on approximately one year of internal testing involving flexing, sweat, heat, cold and heavy wear.

Embroidery Production Sheet

Approved SnapInk pilot partners can download our embroidery production sheet to help prepare embroidered artwork for SnapInk sleeves. Use the sheet as a production reference for artwork sizing, placement, and layout.

Direct printing

Print customer designs directly onto the sleeve. Create a free preview in SnapInk Studio, then discuss production through the pilot program.
