In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about VELCRO® Brand hook and loop tape: what it is, the types available, top uses and how to choose the right product for your needs. Let’s get stuck in.

What is VELCRO® Brand Hook and Loop Tape?

You’ve probably used it countless times, but what actually is VELCRO® Brand hook and loop tape?

At its core, it’s a two-part fastening system: one side features tiny “hooks” and the other has soft “loops.” When pressed together, the hooks catch the loops and create a strong, temporary bond. When pulled apart, they separate cleanly, making it a reusable, versatile solution that’s perfect for countless applications.

At MPD Hook & Loop, we stock both sew-on and adhesive VELCRO® tape, offering flexibility for permanent and temporary fixing needs.

How to Apply Adhesive VELCRO® Tape Like a Pro

For best results with adhesive VELCRO® tape, follow these quick tips:

Clean the surface: use a mild cleaner to remove dust and grease
Dry completely: moisture can stop the adhesive sticking properly
Stick and press: apply pressure for 30 seconds to create a strong bond
Wait before use: give it 24 hours before putting weight on the tape

How to Cut and Store VELCRO® Tape

Need a smaller piece? No problem! Simply cut your VELCRO® hook and loop tape to size with scissors. For VELCRO® ONE-WRAP®, we sell rolls you can trim as needed.

To store it neatly, keep your tape in a cool, dry place away from dust and direct sunlight. Keep hook and loop sides separate to avoid them sticking together in storage.
