Our goal is to be the leader in hook and loop manufacturing solutions across all industries. With that goal in mind, we've analyzed how we interact with our customers and looked for ways we can better serve you. The end result: our 4D Business Consulting Service. The 4D program is a structured approach to developing custom hook and loop fasteners. The purpose of the program is to get you the right hook and loop product for your application, as quick as possible, at the lowest total cost.

4D Business Consulting Service Program

Discovery

The process begins with discovery; we work to understand your application and help you explore hook and loop fastener options capable of satisfying functional, aesthetic and price considerations.

Design

After the discovery phase, we continue to design the fastener, including prototyping and considering alternatives to save time and money. Once the design is finalized, we consider production quantities and how the fastener integrates with your product.

Develop

This is where we put ideas into action. Using the information gathered in the design phase, we continue to work with you to develop your product, whether by creating samples, sending photos, or accommodating revisions for future orders, we will work to perfect your product through the manufacturing process.

Deliver

Finally, we deliver – the quality you expect in the quantity you need, when you need it. Custom orders can ship within 2 weeks, with most initial orders shipping within a business day. We package our products neatly so it's easy to tell what you ordered and how many. We can even package by piece count or individually!

The 4D program brings the right expertise to your product development efforts early on to produce maximum benefits. The process provides a quick and seamless consulting plan to get your product to market. Click here to learn more about our 4D consulting services
