What is a hook fastener or hook and loop?
A hook fastener or hook and loop is the fastening system which uses two sides of material. The hook portion is the rough and scratchy like side and the loop is the softer fuzzier side. When placing the two sections together, the hook and the loop fabric attach to each other creating a bond, keeping the name tape in place during any activity. But not so strong that the name tape (or any other patch) cannot be removed as needed.

Name Tapes are going to be 5 and ¼ inches long by 1 inch high. The only colors that vary are New and Old Navy Digital, and Desert Sand which are 1 ¼ inches tall. We can make the name tape smaller, taking into account that the shorter the nametape is, the more squeezed the letters become.

$4.95 For a sew-on plus shipping or $6.95 for a nametape with the hook fastener added.

"Hook fastener" is a type of closure system that uses two opposing strips, one with tiny hooks and the other with soft loops. When pressed together, the hooks and loops interlock, providing a secure and reusable hold.
