An edge-wrapped panel and methods for edge-wrapping a panel. The panel comprises a substrate layer, a laminate layer, and at least one retainer. The laminate wraps around the substrate first edge and around the retainer first edge and sandwiches the substrate and the retainer between a first portion of the laminate and a second portion of the laminate. A method for edge-wrapping the panel includes the steps of securing the retainer to the laminate and then snap-wrapping the laminate flap around the edge of the panel. A stiffness and curvature in the retainer facilitates the swift snap-wrap movement.

1. A panel for an aircraft interior, the panel comprising: a substrate having a first non-zero curvature about a first axis of the substrate such that a first surface of the substrate curves inwardly from a first edge of the substrate to a second edge of the substrate, the first edge being opposite
1. A panel for an aircraft interior, the panel comprising: a substrate having a first non-zero curvature about a first axis of the substrate such that a first surface of the substrate curves inwardly from a first edge of the substrate to a second edge of the substrate, the first edge being opposite the second edge, and such that a second surface of the substrate curves outwardly from the first edge to the second edge, the second surface being opposite the first surface, and the substrate having a third edge opposite a fourth edge, the third edge and the fourth edge extending about parallel a second axis of the substrate, the second axis being about perpendicular to the first axis;a laminate covering the second surface and extending past the third edge; anda first retainer having at least a fifth edge and a sixth edge extending substantially parallel to the third edge of the substrate, the sixth edge being opposite the fifth edge, a third surface and a fourth surface of the first retainer being disposed between the fifth edge and the sixth edge, the third surface opposite the fourth surface, the laminate covering the third surface at least to the sixth edge, the first retainer being disposed with respect to the substrate such that the laminate also extends through a space between the substrate and the first retainer, and the fourth surface of the first retainer being attached to the first surface of the substrate such that the laminate wraps around the third edge, around the fifth edge, and at least to the sixth edge and sandwiches the substrate and the first retainer between a first portion of the laminate and a second portion of the laminate. 2. The panel of claim 1, wherein the substrate comprises a plurality of layers. 3. The panel of claim 2, wherein the substrate comprises a first outer layer, a second outer layer and at least a first inner layer. 4. The panel of claim 3, wherein the outer layers comprise a fibrous material and the inner layer comprises honeycomb paper. 5. The panel of claim 1, wherein the first retainer comprises an elongate, thin strip of a rigid or semi-rigid material. 6. The panel of claim 5, wherein the first retainer is constructed of a polymer. 7. The panel of claim 1 wherein the first retainer has a second, non-zero curvature about the first axis. 8. The panel of claim 1 wherein the space has a width about equal to a sum of a first thickness of the substrate and a second thickness of the first retainer. 9. The panel of claim 1 wherein a portion of the laminate that extends through the space has a width at least equal to a sum of a first thickness of the substrate and a second thickness of the first retainer. 10. The panel of claim 1 wherein an adhesive is disposed between the fourth surface and the first surface. 11. The panel of claim 1 wherein the laminate extends past the fourth edge and wherein the panel further comprises: a second retainer having at least a seventh edge and an eighth edge extending substantially parallel to the fourth edge of the substrate, the eighth edge being opposite the seventh edge, a fifth surface and a sixth surface of the second retainer being disposed between the seventh edge and the eighth edge, the fifth surface opposite the sixth surface, the laminate covering the fifth surface at least to the eighth edge, the second retainer being disposed with respect to the substrate such that the laminate also extends through a second space between the substrate and the second retainer, and the sixth surface of the second retainer being attached to the first surface of the substrate such that the laminate wraps around the fifth edge, around the seventh edge, and at least to the eighth edge and sandwiches the substrate and the retainer between a third portion of the laminate and a fourth portion of the laminate.
