Hook and loop is a versatile type of fastening that can be used for a wide range of applications. Originally invented in 1941 and produced for commercial sale in the ‘50s, it’s become a well-known, well-loved and widely used product ever since.
VELCRO® is just one of the companies that produces hook and loop products – if not the most well-known company that produces them. They are so well-known that most often confuse their brand name as the name of the product itself.
So what is it that makes their products so popular, and why should you choose them over other brands? Read on below as we tell all.
Stronger Adhesive
When it comes to adhesive hook and loop, adhesive VELCRO® Brand tape tends to be much stronger than other brands’ products. The adhesive not only sticks better, but, once fully bonded to the corresponding surface, is able to hold more weight without coming unstuck.
The adhesive that they use can also be stuck onto a range of different materials without losing effectiveness, making it a reliable solution. On top of this, their adhesive is able to withstand a higher temperature range than most competitors.
Better Materials
When comparing VELCRO® Brand products, especially sew-on hook and loop, to unbranded or competitor products, it’s often very easy to see and feel a clear difference in quality between the two.
Other brands’ products tend to be much stiffer and the hooks will lose their colour quite easily. In comparison, VELCRO® Brand products are much softer and more pliable, and the colour of the hooks will match the strip they are attached to.
As for the loop side of their tape, this is very soft and fluffy, whereas other brands’ are more often flatter and coarser.
Wider Product Selection
One of the reasons that VELCRO® is considered the leading hook and loop manufacturer and why they are the best company to meet your needs, is because of the wide selection of products that they offer.
Being experts in all things hook and loop, they use their expertise and enthusiasm to create innovative and convenient products to suit a wide range of requirements. Not only do they offer self-adhesive tape, non-adhesive tape, coins, cable ties and more, but they also offer subcategories within these.
For example, they create different varieties of the same product by giving them specific properties, including low-profile, heavy-duty or flame retardant products.
