Hook and Loop Converting

The many uses of hook and loop fasteners have extended to the canine world. The Los Angeles Times reports that dogs' paws can be damaged when they walk on hot or rough surfaces. Although it may seem like a strange application, cracks on unprotected paws can quickly become painful infections. Owners who are taking their pets to the beach can quickly end up in the emergency vet's office due to paw injuries.

Professional baseball organizations like the Baltimore Orioles are taking advantage of technology typically encountered in film studios, and hook and loop technology plays an integral role in their success. In a relatively new training procedure, staff use these simple fasteners to affix scores of reflective balls to the body of a pitcher and observe his performance. With the aid of motion capture analysis, teams hope to reduce the incidence of injuries and develop superior training regimens for critical team members.

Social distancing has seemingly become the new norm for everyone. Maintaining a safe distance helps reduce the spread of COVID-19 and helps keep everyone safe. Sometimes it's on the individual to maintain proper social distancing, and sometimes a business or public space utilizes signs and markers to identify what that safe distance is.

Embroidery is a process of stitching a design or decoration into a material. We offer this capability on our webbing because the hook and loop does not allow for ease of function when embroidered. Stitching on hook and loop limits its usefulness. We often sew hook and loop, but that is done to provide a strong hold or reinforce the material. The stitching in those instances is done on the outer portions of the hook and loop, mostly in the selvage edge where no hook or loop is located.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic that has taken the world by storm, HookandLoop.com has been uniquely positioned to supply companies with large quantities of hook and loop material with incredible efficiency. Through our efforts, and the efforts of our customers and suppliers, we've been able to supply wholesale straps for the manufacture of hundreds of thousands of face shields and other PPE.

Pad printing is the printing process we use to imprint logos and information onto hook and loop. Typically, this printing is done on the back side of the hook portion of a custom strap so it will be outward facing when in use. We use a PLT 9 ink that is available in black or white ink, but we also have several other colors available for a $35 up-charge. This ink works well with our clichés and leaves clean imprint on the smooth nylon backing.

In addition to all of the custom hook and loop we offer, we also offer die cutting services. We use a clicker press to die cut hook and loop to specific shapes to be used for various applications.

We offer lots of customization and converting services at HookandLoop.com, including logo imprinting onto the straps we manufacture. We make straps from the hook and loop material we sell. There are 4 strap styles we offer, all of which can be customized by size, length, color and material as well as further customizing based on drawing specs or additional pieces added to it.
