Do you know why it is called a hook-and-loop fastener?

Fastening with face to face! Introducing Arako Column vol. 7.

I have mentioned before that AK tape and Velcro are actually trademarks. AK tape is a trademark of our company, Araco. Velcro is a trademark of Kuraray. Quicklon is a trademark of YKK. While there are some differences in specifications depending on the company, I believe they generally serve the same purpose. *You can view the detailed content of the column through the related links.

Velcro on underground tabi (traditional Japanese footwear).

Velcro on underground tabi (traditional Japanese footwear).

If it's a hook-and-loop type of underground tabi, it can be put on and taken off in 3 seconds! Introducing Arako Column vol. 10.

In my hometown of Hamamatsu City, there is an event called the Hamamatsu Festival held every year. Because of this, people from Hamamatsu have the opportunity to wear tabi (traditional split-toe socks) from a relatively young age. The fasteners on the tabi use Velcro, but at some point, my classmates started teasing me, saying, "You're still using Velcro?" Unbeknownst to me, the image of Velcro being something for children had been ingrained in me, and I became embarrassed and asked to be bought adult-sized tabi. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related links.

Arako Column Vol. 3 "The Evolution of Hook and Loop Fasteners"

Arako Column Vol. 3 "The Evolution of Hook and Loop Fasteners"

Inspired by the wild burdock seeds stuck to my clothes and my beloved dog, I started my research!

I will convey the evolution of hook-and-loop fasteners once again. It all began in 1941 when I was climbing the Alps and got the idea from the wild burdock seeds that stuck to my clothes and my beloved dog. Research started in 1948. A patent was filed in 1951, and it was certified in 1955. In 1952, Velcro S.A. was established in Switzerland, producing hook-and-loop fasteners while also licensing to companies in various countries and establishing local subsidiaries, producing under the name "Velcro." *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.

Various Uses of Hook-and-Loop Fasteners! Introducing Arako Column Vol. 19

As a manufacturer of hook-and-loop fasteners, we encounter customers who use our products in a variety of ways. One of the most impressive ideas I came across in the past was from a customer who designed a rehabilitation product using the engagement strength of hook-and-loop fasteners. Many of you may already know that the sticking force between the hook and loop sides can be easily peeled apart by hand in the peeling direction (180° direction), but it has a very strong tensile strength in the pulling direction (horizontal direction). By utilizing this difference in strength based on "direction," the customer created a product that helps with the recovery and maintenance of hand functions, such as grip strength, by twisting the adhered hook-and-loop fasteners in a circular motion, resulting in a tearing sound. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related link.

The origin of the Arako logo.

The origin of the Arako logo.

The mechanism of how hook-and-loop fasteners stick! Introducing Arako Column vol. 8.

This is our company's logo. It resembles something, yes, it's an enlarged view of a hook-and-loop fastener. How does a hook-and-loop fastener actually stick together? A hook-and-loop fastener consists of a hook side (also called side A or male) that has a hook-shaped structure and a loop side (also called side B or female) that has a loop-shaped structure. The mechanism works by the hook side (the hooks) catching onto the loop side (the loops). *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related links.

The belief that Velcro was developed by NASA is a misunderstanding.

The belief that Velcro was developed by NASA is a misunderstanding.

The reason for the misunderstanding! Introducing Arako Column vol. 14.

I have seen Velcro introduced as something "developed by NASA" in the past. In reality, it was invented by a Swiss man who loved hunting. The reason for this misunderstanding seems to be that during the Apollo program, Velcro, which refers to hook-and-loop fasteners, was adopted, and as a result, hook-and-loop fasteners became famous, leading to such misconceptions. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related link.

Differences between nylon and polyester! Introducing Arako Column vol. 9.

A frequently asked question from customers is, "What is the difference from major brands of Velcro?" While the know-how of the woven structure often involves trade secrets, a significant difference based on publicly available information is the "material (thread)." The major company that popularized the Velcro trademark currently uses polyester as the standard, while our company uses nylon as the standard. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Arako Column Vol. 4 "Three Types of Fasteners"

Arako Column Vol. 4 "Three Types of Fasteners"

Fasteners can be broadly classified into three types: linear fasteners, surface fasteners, and point fasteners!

The official name of our product "AK Tape" is referred to as "hook and loop fastener," which we previously communicated. However, what does "fastener" actually mean? A fastener refers to something that can be opened and closed freely multiple times, and it means "something that securely fastens" in English. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related link.

Velcro" is also a registered trademark! The official name is "hook and loop fastener.

Did you know that names of items we use in our daily lives, such as tape and staplers, are actually specific brand names or product names? (For example, "cellophane tape" is a product name from Nichiban Co., Ltd., and "stapler" comes from an American company.) In fact, "Velcro" is also a registered trademark. (I didn't know this until I started this job.)

Arako Column Vol. 1 "The Sound of Velcro"

Arako Column Vol. 1 "The Sound of Velcro"

The sound of "bari bari bari bari" when putting on and taking off! Useful for preventing theft and deterring pickpockets.

When I joined the company, I was researching the market evaluation and applications of our main product, hook-and-loop fasteners, and while surfing the internet, the first thing that caught my eye was a post that said, "I'm a girl, but my boyfriend's wallet is made of Velcro, I want to die." This was the title of a thread that was actually trending at the time on the famous bulletin board 2channel, and I realized that many people, especially younger ones, have the impression that "hook-and-loop fasteners = uncool, outdated." I still remember feeling very sad as a manufacturer’s salesperson upon realizing this. *For more details on the column, you can view it through the related link.
