So, what is velcro?
Velcro is a trademarked brand name for hook-and-loop fasteners, a type of fastening material that consists of two components: a "hook" side with small, stiff hooks and a "loop" side with softer loops. When pressed together, the hooks and loops interlock, creating a secure closure that can be easily opened and closed. Velcro is commonly used in various applications, such as clothing, shoes, bags, and even medical devices. It offers a convenient and reliable alternative to traditional buttons, zippers, and laces, making it a staple in modern-day manufacturing and design.
