Cost
DuraGrip® Brand fasteners are a lower cost alternative to VELCRO® Brand fasteners. The cost savings vary depending on the fastener type and order size, but typically you'll find DuraGrip® Brand products to be 30-50% cheaper.Strength
VELCRO® Brand fasteners and the DuraGrip® Brand have distinct feels to their hook and loop. DuraGrip® is a more aggressive tape when compared to VELCRO® Brand hook and loop products. The DuraGrip® material is made of thicker monofilament, which makes it stiffer and more rigid. From a performance standpoint, DuraGrip® hook and loop has a stronger closure strength, making it better suited in demanding applications.Colors
One of the biggest advantages of DuraGrip® is the available color options. With 26 colors, the available color pallet ensures you can find a stock color to complement your application. Popular DuraGrip® colors include military colors like coyote tan and coyote brown; these colors complement camouflage color schemes and are a popular choice for military fastener applications. With DuraGrip® fasteners, all color options are available with low minimum order quantities, typically just a single roll, so you do not have to order more than you need to get the color you want.Lead Times and Stock
: Delivery and fulfillment times are one of the big considerations when ordering any product online. All of our DuraGrip® sew-on colors are stocked for immediate delivery. Our peel and stick products are stocked in black and white for immediate delivery as well. On occasion, these products are subject to a 1-5 business day lead time when out of stock. This fulfillment time is significantly less than the fulfillment time for most VELCRO® Brand fasteners, which can be anywhere from 1 week to 6 weeks depending on the product, and some items much longer than that. The benefit of the VELCRO® Brand material is that we typically hold higher quantities in stock to accommodate longer lead times.We take great pride in being a top supplier for VELCRO® Brand fasteners to many satisfied customers, but want you to know some of the advantages of DuraGrip® fasteners.
