Hook and loop fastener – versatile, strong & easy to use


Hook and loop fasteners are one of the most practical everyday helpers. Whether for sewing, around the house, or in the office – their uses are virtually limitless. In this article, you'll learn all about the different types of hook and loop fasteners, their advantages, and the best applications.


What is Velcro?

Velcro tape consists of two sides:

  • Hook tape – the fixed side with small hooks.

  • Hook and loop tape – the soft side with fine loops.


When pressed together, both sides hold reliably, but can be separated again at any time. It is precisely this flexibility that makes hook and loop fasteners so popular.

1. Self-adhesive hook and loop tape

Simply peel, stick, done. Ideal for smooth surfaces, craft projects and cable management.
