VELCRO® Brand Hook & Loop Tape, Straps & Fasteners
Shop genuine VELCRO® Brand hook and loop fasteners for mounting, sewing, cable management, bundling and reusable fastening. Choose self-adhesive and sew-on tapes, VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® tape and cable ties, buckle straps, adhesive dots and VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® fasteners.
Select the fastening system according to the material, surface, required opening frequency and intended application. Check each product listing for its exact dimensions, adhesive type and compatibility.
Genuine VELCRO® Brand Fastening Products
Our VELCRO® Brand department brings together genuine hook and loop tapes, reusable cable-management products, straps, adhesive dots and specialist self-engaging fasteners. These products provide practical alternatives to permanent mechanical fixings for suitable mounting, fastening, bundling, textile and organisational applications.
Different VELCRO® Brand fasteners are designed for different jobs. Traditional hook and loop tape uses separate hook and loop surfaces, VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® products wrap around themselves, and VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® fasteners use matching mushroom-shaped hooks that engage with each other. Choosing the correct construction is more important than simply choosing the strongest-looking product.
Choose the Right VELCRO® Brand Product
Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Tape
Our VELCRO® Brand self-adhesive tape combines hook and loop fastening with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. It is suitable for creating removable closures and mounting suitable lightweight components to compatible surfaces.
The hook side and loop side form the reusable closure, while the adhesive secures each tape to its substrate. Adhesive performance depends on the particular adhesive system, surface material, cleanliness, temperature and application pressure. Check the exact product before use rather than assuming every adhesive tape is suitable for every surface.
Sew-On Hook and Loop Tape
Choose VELCRO® Brand sew-on tape for fabric, clothing, covers, bags, upholstery and other textile applications where the fastener will be stitched into position.
Sew-on products do not rely on an adhesive bond. The hook and loop components may be supplied together or separately, depending on the listing, so confirm whether you require hook, loop or a complete mating pair. Match the thread, needle and stitching pattern to the fabric and expected load.
VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® Tape and Cable Ties
VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® tape and reusable cable ties have hook and loop surfaces arranged back to back, allowing the material to fasten around itself without adhesive or a separate mating strip.
This adjustable construction is particularly useful for organising electrical cables, network wiring, AV leads, tools, equipment and stored items. The soft, reusable fastener can be opened when cables need to be added, removed or repositioned. Continuous rolls can be cut to the required length, while pre-cut ties provide consistent ready-to-use straps.
Multiple colours are available for visual organisation and cable identification. Product construction and compliance options vary, so check the individual listing if a particular flame-performance or industry standard is required.
Reusable VELCRO® Brand Straps
Our VELCRO® Brand straps include reusable fastening straps with rings or buckles. Passing the strap through the buckle allows it to be folded back and fastened against itself, helping secure coiled cables, hoses, equipment, stored materials and other suitable items.
Choose the strap width, length and buckle arrangement according to the object being secured. These general-purpose straps should not be treated as lifting equipment, fall protection or certified load-restraint products unless the individual product documentation specifically states otherwise.
Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Dots
VELCRO® Brand hook and loop dots and coins provide small, discrete fastening points for displays, signs, lightweight accessories, craft work, stationery, packaging and general organisation.
Each closure uses a mating hook and loop dot. Before installation, make sure the surface is clean, dry and compatible with the adhesive. Dots are useful where a full strip of tape would be unnecessary or too visible.
VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fasteners
VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® fasteners use matching mushroom-shaped hooks rather than separate traditional hook and loop components. Two pieces of the same fastener engage when pressed firmly together, creating a self-engaging, multidirectional closure.
This system is intended for demanding permanent and semi-permanent fastening applications such as compatible panels, displays, signs, vehicle interiors and equipment mounting. Different ALFA-LOK® versions use different adhesive systems, so select the product according to the substrate and installation conditions rather than by appearance alone.
How to Select the Correct Fastener
- Identify the application: decide whether the product will mount an object, close fabric, bundle cables or secure equipment.
- Choose the fastening construction: traditional hook and loop, self-wrapping ONE-WRAP® material, a buckle strap, adhesive dots or ALFA-LOK® fasteners.
- Check the surface or material: determine whether the fastener will be adhered, sewn or wrapped around the item.
- Confirm the required size: check the width, length, diameter or amount of engagement needed.
- Consider opening frequency: frequently adjusted cable bundles have different requirements from semi-permanent mounted panels.
- Read the individual specification: confirm adhesive type, material compatibility, temperature limitations and any required certification.
Preparing Surfaces for Self-Adhesive Fasteners
Apply adhesive-backed products to a clean, dry surface free from dust, oil, polish and loose material. Avoid touching the exposed adhesive. Position carefully, apply firm and even pressure, and allow the adhesive to build its bond before loading the fastener.
Painted, coated, flexible, textured and low-surface-energy plastics can behave differently. Test the product on an inconspicuous area before committing to the full installation. Do not rely on a self-adhesive fastener where failure could cause injury or damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all hook and loop products VELCRO® Brand products?
No. VELCRO® is a registered trademark and should be used only for genuine VELCRO® Brand fasteners. Products from other manufacturers should be described using functional terms such as hook and loop tape or reusable fastening straps.
Which product is best for organising cables?
VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® tape and pre-cut ties are designed for adjustable cable bundling. They fasten around themselves and can be reopened when the cable installation changes.
Should I use self-adhesive or sew-on tape?
Use sew-on tape where the fastener can be stitched securely to a suitable textile. Self-adhesive tape is intended for compatible solid surfaces and requires careful surface preparation.
Does ALFA-LOK® fasten to ordinary loop tape?
VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® fasteners are designed as a hook-to-hook system. Two compatible ALFA-LOK® pieces engage with each other rather than using conventional textile loop tape.
Can VELCRO® Brand fasteners be cut to length?
Many continuous tapes and ONE-WRAP® rolls can be cut to the required length. Check the exact listing because pre-cut straps, dots and shaped fasteners are intended to be used in their supplied format.
