POP users, especially in the event industry, sometimes need assembly solutions that are removable, discreet, and durable. The 3M™Scotchmate™ and 3M™Dual Lock™ hook-and-loop fastening systems are ideally suited to meet these needs.
Long employed by the textile industry, this fastening system popularized by the Velcro™ brand works by mechanically joining two surfaces.
The hook-and-loop fastening system consists of two fabric strips, usually 100% nylon, that hook together with a simple snap.
Use: for joining flexible, relatively light materials. Limited life span (loss of performance beyond 500 uses).
Also based on the principle of elastic deformation, this more advanced method of fastening is not made up of hook and loop, but of polymeric mushroom-shaped rods that interlock with each other.
Use: more resistant than the hook and loop system, this prodcuts can be assembled and disassembled several thousand times. Consisting of only one part, it also has the advantage of being usable on itself.
To meet all types of uses, hook and loop fastening systems exist in different forms:
By definition, the event industry is a sector where dismantling is the key phrase, as each trade show, siminar, or exhibition has a limited duration.
Furthermore, stands and other POP displays are intended to be used several times, at different trade shows or exhibitions, and their installation is time-consuming, especially if the fastening methods are poorly chosen.
Traditional mechanical fasteners are not well suited to these applications due to:
3M™Scotchmate™ or 3M™Dual Lock™ fastening systems are the ideal solutions for these temporary applications:
Whether indoors or outdoors, retailers sometimes need to install signage or advertising panels, which may be temporary. If these signs are to be removed frequently, the use of hook and loop fasteners can be beneficial.
Examples:
If not secured to the floor or a counter, POP displays tend to move. Retailers who want to remove these items regularly, can use 3M™Scotchmate™ type adhesives, rather than double-sided adhesive that will need to be changed regularly.
When products are handled frequently by customers, using adhesives like 3M™Dual Lock™ provides a secure temporary attachment. A typical example is attaching dummy cell phones to POP displays.
