    Abstract: In a first embodiment, the present disclosure is directed at a non-woven fabric, which provides, at selected locations, the ability to mechanically and releasably join with a hook fastener. The non-woven web may include entangled fibers which have been overprinted with dots, lines or designs to create defined locations of joined fibers which may engage with a corresponding hook profile. The print material may include thermoplastic and thermoset binder systems. The binder systems may include a gas expanding substrate (e.g. gas-filled microspheres) which may provide a relatively thicker location for joining with the corresponding hook engaging material.
