{"title":"Hook and Loop (Velcro)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHook and loop tape – fast, reliable fastening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHook and loop tape (often called Velcro) consists of two parts: a tape with small stiff hooks and a tape with a soft pile of loops. When pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and form a strong yet easily separable bond. This makes hook and loop one of the most practical fastenings – it opens and closes in one movement, without buttons, zips or ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolkom, a manufacturer and wholesaler of garment accessories, supplies hook and loop tape to manufacturers of clothing, footwear, bags, and sports, medical and technical equipment across the EU – in widths from 5 to 100 mm and in all colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003echildrenswear and children's shoes, where fastening must be easy;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ecuffs and flaps on jackets, workwear and uniforms;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003esports and outdoor equipment, backpacks and cases;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003emedical and orthopaedic products – supports, splints, belts;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ebags, organisers and cable ties;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ehome textiles, packaging and promotional products.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWidths from 5 to 100 mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e5–10 mm – small items, cable organisers, packaging;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e16–25 mm – the standard for clothing, footwear and accessories;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e30–50 mm – bags, outdoor equipment, protective and medical products;\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e60–100 mm – technical products, industrial and promotional solutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe supply both parts – hook and loop – separately or as a mated set, ready to go straight into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVariants of hook and loop tape\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard hook and loop tape is sew-on and is used in most textile products. There are also softer versions for clothing and products in contact with the skin, stiffer and stronger tapes for bags and equipment, and back-to-back hook and loop, where hooks and loops are on the same tape – handy for cable ties and securing straps. Tell us what product you need hook and loop for and we will suggest a suitable version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColours and quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides black and white, hook and loop tape can be produced in virtually any colour – to Pantone or to a sample – to blend in with the fabric or become a visible accent. Quality hook and loop keeps its grip through repeated opening and closing, does not fray at the edges and is resistant to washing and different weather conditions. It is attached with a straight or zigzag stitch around the edge of the tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTips for choosing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor childrenswear and children's shoes, choose a softer loop side that does not irritate the skin and a width of 16–25 mm. For heavy bags and equipment under load, use a wider tape and a larger contact area. For garments that are washed often, it is best to close the hook and loop before washing so it does not catch other fabrics.
