SoftGrip by Aplix®
APLIX offers a comprehensive range of closure solutions, including single hooks with or without adhesive and L-bond hook tapes, designed to deliver outstanding fastening performance when paired with the vast majority of frontal tapes available on the market.
At the heart of this portfolio is SoftGrip by Aplix® : an innovative hook platform in which the hook tape is directly extruded onto a nonwoven substrate, eliminating the need for adhesive. This unique technology provides exceptional flexibility and customization possibilities. A wide range of widths, colors, substrates, and material combinations are available, including hook-on-stretch, hook-on-nonwoven frontal tapes, and anti-slip solutions. To support more sustainable products, all SoftGrip® hooks and hook tapes are available in 100% recyclable or industrially compostable versions.
