Abstract: A releasable elongated strap of hook material. The strap has a hook side with hooks formed of synthetic resin. The hook side includes an area devoid of hooks formed of synthetic resin that is integral with a base layer from which the hooks extend. At least part of the area devoid of hooks has a molded matte surface suitable for being written upon.

Abstract: Methods of forming a releasable strap of hook and loop material and resulting products are shown. The strap has a hook side and a loop side, the hooks being formed of synthetic resin on a mold roll defining a multiplicity of hook mold cavities. A method is shown comprising providing a mold roll having at least one relatively wide hook molding region over which hook mold cavities are distributed and, preferably at least at one side, a relatively narrow region devoid of hooks, and utilizing the mold roll to form a continuous sheet of material having on one side a wide band of loop-engageable hooks and preferably an adjacent relatively narrow band devoid of hooks, providing loops on the opposite side of the material, and repeatedly cutting the material at a substantial angle to the machine direction.
