What is a hook and loop closure?

A hook and loop closure, commonly known as Velcro, is a type of fastener that uses two components: a strip of small, stiff hooks and a strip of softer, fibrous loops. When pressed together, the hooks and loops stick together to create a secure closure. The degree of adhesion can be adjusted by varying the pressure applied while attaching the hooks and loops. Hook and loop closures are often used in clothing, shoes, bags, and other products where a quick and easy fastening solution is needed. They are popular due to their convenience, versatility, and durability. Additionally, hook and loop closures can be opened and closed numerous times without losing effectiveness, making them reusable.
