The Versatility of Hook and Loop Tape

At JET PRESS, we’re proud to distribute a comprehensive range of Hook and Loop Tapes that serve a wide variety of industries. From clothing and textiles to marine, military and automotive applications, hook and loop fasteners offer a versatile, reliable fastening solution. With the ability to fasten, unfasten and be reused time and again, hook and loop tapes provide exceptional flexibility.

 

What is Hook and Loop Tape?

Hook and Loop Tape is a two-part fastening system made up of two strips of fabric. One side features tiny hooks, while the other has soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks catch the loops, creating a secure, temporary bond that can be opened and closed repeatedly. The strength of the connection depends on the size and density of the hooks and loops.


Types of Hook and Loop Fasteners Available at JET PRESS


Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Tape

Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Tapes are ideal for projects that require a quick and simple fastening solution. The adhesive backing allows the tape to be applied easily to clean, flat surfaces, making it suitable for a range of industries such as retail displays, electrical applications and light industrial use.

This tape can be opened and closed multiple times, providing a reliable and reusable fastening solution.


Sew-On Hook and Loop Tape

For fabric applications like clothing, upholstery, or soft accessories, Sew-On Hook and Loop Tape offers a durable and flexible fastening option. It is frequently used in military and marine settings, where strength and resistance to environmental elements are key.

Our sew-on tapes are available in various widths and lengths, and they are customisable to suit your project’s requirements.




Fire-Retardant Hook and Loop Tape

Fire safety is critical in many industries, and we offer Sew-On and Self-Adhesive fire-retardant hook and loop tapes for situations where safety cannot be compromised. These tapes are treated with non-flammable coatings and meet stringent industry fire-retardant standards, making them suitable for use in automotive, military and marine environments.




Hook and Loop Cable Ties

When it comes to organising cables, whether in telecoms, networking, or medical devices, Hook and Loop Cable Ties provide a highly efficient and reusable solution. These ties prevent damage to delicate cables while offering a firm hold that can be adjusted as needed. These nylon-based ties come with an eye hole in the tail, allowing them to be easily attached to cables.


 

Applications Across Key Industries

Our range of hook and loop tapes has applications across a variety of sectors:

  • Clothing and Textiles: In the clothing industry, hook and loop tapes are widely used for fastening accessories, home furnishings, children’s clothing and even workwear. Military uniforms, for instance, often use sew-on hook and loop tapes for strength and flexibility.

  • Marine: In marine environments, where conditions can be harsh, our Polypropylene Webbing paired with hook and loop tapes offers durability and resistance to moisture and salt water. The tapes are used for securing items on boats and ships, as well as in personal flotation devices.

  • Automotive and Electrical: In the automotive sector, our Fire-Retardant Hook and Loop Tapes are used for securing interior panels, upholstery and cable management. In electrical and telecoms applications, our Hook and Loop Cable Ties ensure cables are neatly secured and easy to access for maintenance or re-routing.

How to choose the right Hook and Loop Tape for Your Project?

With so many options available, choosing the right hook and loop fastener can seem daunting. At JET PRESS, we offer guidance based on your specific needs:

  • For fabric applications, sew-on tapes are your best choice.
  • If temporary or reusable fastening is needed, self-adhesive tapes provide quick and easy installation.
  • For industries where safety is paramount, our fire-retardant tapes ensure compliance with safety standards.
  • If you need to organise cables efficiently, hook and loop cable ties offer a reusable and non-damaging solution.

Reusable and Sustainable Solutions

In an era where sustainability is a growing concern, hook and loop fasteners provide an eco-friendly solution. Products like our hook and loop cable ties can be used over and over again, reducing waste and providing a cost-effective alternative to single-use fasteners.

These ties are easy to apply, remove and adjust, making them perfect for dynamic projects where flexibility is key.

In addition to hook and loop tapes, we also offer a wide choice of plastic buckles and military-grade buckles that can be used in conjunction with these fasteners, expanding their range of applications.
