Not sure which VELCRO® Brand fastener is right for you?
Whatever your project, use this simple guide to determine which type of VELCRO® Brand fastener is the strongest and how much weight each one can hold.
To secure lightweight items, choose…
VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Fasteners
For lightweight items that need to be frequently connected and disconnected, choose the VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back range.
These general-purpose fastening solutions can hold 1 lbs per square inch (up to 5 lbs) and are ideal for everyday indoor applications such as organizing and mounting lightweight items on the wall.
They’re available in squares, circles, strips and tapes and come in a range of sizes and colors. Plus, they’re easy to use—simply peel and stick!
When you need a more powerful hold, choose…
VELCRO® Brand Industrial Strength Fasteners
To secure heavier items, choose one of our industrial strength solutions. They’re designed for indoor and outdoor projects where a more powerful hold is required.
VELCRO® Brand Heavy Duty tape, strips and coins have 50% more holding power than our standard strength hook and loop fasteners, and are able to hold up to 1 lbs per square inch up to 10 lbs.
They’re suitable for a wide range of smooth surfaces including wallboard, glass, metal and most plastics. And they’re much easier to use than nails and screws – simply peel and stick!
VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® Fasteners
Your other option is VELCRO® Brand ALFA-LOK® fasteners. These heavy duty fasteners provide super strong holding power, even on rough surfaces and in extreme conditions.
Our ALFA-LOK® fasteners are the strongest VELCRO® Brand fasteners and provide a high strength, long term attachment where the fastener is infrequently opened and closed. A quick and easy alternative to nails and screws.
