Ever feel like you could use a third hand on the job? Now you can have one, thanks to Tack Down, Halco’s latest innovation. Learn how to sew hook and loop tape with ease.
Unlocking Productivity and Efficiency With Innovation
Sewing hook and loop fasteners is a crucial step for all kinds of products across many industries, but misalignment and gummed up needles while sewing at speed had limited productivity. So Halco set out to solve the problem.
The Problem
Stitching hook and loop to soft goods can pose challenges. Like other narrow width fabrics, hook and loop can wobble or move around when sewn at high speeds. Slowing down to compensate kills productivity, and in today’s ultra-competitive marketplace, time is money. Having to remove the stitches and resew due to miss placement is a common problem for contract sewers.
To solve the issue of hook and loop moving during sewing, many cut and sew operations stitch full-width adhesive-backed hook and loop for added strength and stability. But while you can sew through adhesive-backed hook and loop, problems arise when the needles ‘gum up’ from repeated contact with the adhesive and the thread breaks from extreme tension.
The Solution
Halco is pleased to introduce Tack Down, the best hook and loop fastener for high-speed sewing. Featuring an adhesive strip down the center and a sewing channel along each side, this innovative fastener can be sewn faster than standard hook and loop in just about any width, color or profile. The sewing channels mean you don’t have to stitch through adhesive, making gummed up needles a thing of the past.The Tack Down solution is suited for all sewable materials including UBL fabrics, vinyls, and even neoprene.
We also offer a flame retardant version suitable for aerospace applications and thermal insulation.
Say Goodbye to Downtime
Eliminating common issues that sewers face means they can spend less time frustrated and reworking incorrect stitches and more time doing what they do best: sewing. Tack Down is the ideal solution for keeping production moving smoothly while maintaining quality and productivity.
