Take That, Duct Tape!

Just about every American could testify that duct tape fixes everything, right? It’s not that the duct tape itself has the capacity to solve problems, but it's instead the user’s creative application of that popular, ultra-sticky product to construct physical solutions.

In the same way, VELCRO® Brand's well-known products can fix almost anything you set your mind to - if you're feeling creative enough.

"Take all the things you would use other fasteners for—nails, tape, zippers, string—and combine them into one easy-to-use and reusable product. That’s smarter." (View VELCRO® Brand solutions) 

Not only can the VELCRO® Brand replace everyday items in classrooms, offices and homes, but it has permeated itself into modern international history, dating back to its invention in 1941: If we’re talking who earned the “Most Creative” award for using VELCRO® Brand Products, it might be NASA during the 1960s, when astronauts used VELCRO® Brand Tape to secure items to the aircraft when in low-gravity space. Or maybe the hospitals that utilized the same solution when securing their equipment onto patients, or maybe Puma when tightening their shoes on the feet of active customers. But the creativity doesn't end there. 

How are these original hook-and-loop fasteners being used today, in the fast-paced world of tech and business? 

As automation and robotics continue to expand, simplified solutions re-emerge. Having already passed NASA's space test, the flexible and reusable VELCRO® Brand cable management can now prevent damage and simplify maintenance of industrial robots. The up-and-coming industry of automated technology demands security, structure and support, which the VELCRO® Brand can once again provide to its customers- even if they're robots.

Take that, duct tape.
