If you work in the display, exhibition, or sign industry, you know how crucial it is to have fast, reliable, and effective solutions for mounting graphics and signs. Enter hook and loop coins—the quick and easy alternative to screws, nails, adhesives, or bulky display systems. These simple yet versatile fasteners can save you time, effort, and money by transforming how you approach your projects.
At Indigo Supplies, we proudly offer industrial-quality Rip 'n' Grip hook and loop fasteners, including our popular hook and loop coins, tape, squares, and dots. Approved for use at exhibitions across the UK—including the NEC in Birmingham—our products are trusted by sign manufacturers, contractors, and exhibition professionals nationwide.
This blog will walk you through everything you need to know about hook and loop coins, their applications, and most importantly, why they should be your go-to solution for your next project.
What Are Hook and Loop Coins?
Hook and loop coins are small, circular fasteners that rely on the classic hook-and-loop closure system—a clever design you’ve likely encountered in Velcro®. One side (the “hook”) features tiny, rigid hooks, while the other side (the “loop”) consists of soft, flexible loops. When pressed together, the hooks and loops interlock, creating a secure bond that’s easy to peel apart when needed.
Our hook and loop coins at Indigo Supplies come pre-cut and are backed with industrial-strength adhesive for easy application on a variety of surfaces.
Variations of Hook and Loop Fasteners
- Hook and Loop Tape—Strips that can be cut to any length for custom applications.
- Hook and Loop Squares—Pre-cut for secure mounting over larger areas.
- Hook and Loop Dots—Smaller than coins but equally versatile for lightweight items.
Why Choose Hook and Loop Coins for Exhibitions and Signs?
Hook and loop coins boast a winning combination of efficiency, versatility, and reusability. Whether you’re an exhibition contractor preparing a trade show booth or a sign manufacturer looking for convenient mounting solutions, these fasteners provide numerous benefits.
1. Quick and Easy to Use
Forget the frustration of fiddling with screws or waiting for glue to dry. Hook and loop coins are incredibly easy to apply—simply peel off the backing, stick them to your surface, and press your items together. Job done.
2. Strong and Durable
Despite their small size, hook and loop coins are deceptively strong. Our industrial-grade Rip 'n' Grip fasteners are designed to hold tightly through repeated use, making them reliable for even high-traffic exhibitions or outdoor signs.
3. Reusable and Cost-Effective
Unlike one-time-use adhesives, hook and loop coins can be separated and reattached multiple times without losing their effectiveness. This feature makes them perfect for temporary displays or items that need frequent repositioning.
4. Safe for Delicate Surfaces
Hook and loop coins avoid the risk of damaging delicate surfaces, which is common with screws, nails, and some adhesives. This makes them ideal for mounting lightweight posters, banners, and signs.
5. NEC-Approved for Exhibitions
Our Rip 'n' Grip hook and loop fasteners have been vetted and approved for use at the NEC in Birmingham, one of the UK’s largest and most prestigious exhibition centres. You can trust that our products meet their strict quality and safety standards.
Common Applications for Hook and Loop Coins
The versatility of hook and loop fasteners makes them invaluable across industries, particularly for those in exhibitions and displays. Here’s where they shine:
