This Prym Hook & Eye Tape in Black is designed for sewers and crafters seeking a durable and rustproof closure solution for garments and accessories. Its primary benefit is the consistent 19mm spacing and integrated hook-and-eye design for easier application. A potential caveat is its specific spacing, which may not suit all projects. This tape features steel wire construction, galvanized and lacquered for longevity and resistance to corrosion, providing a reliable fastening option.

The spacing between each hook and eye set is 19mm.
Yes, the tape is galvanized and lacquered, making it rustproof and resistant to corrosion.
Yes, you can cut the tape to your desired length. Ensure you cut between the hook and eye sets to maintain the integrity of the fastening points.
It is best suited for medium to heavy-weight woven fabrics. It provides good structure for materials like denim, canvas, or thicker cottons.
The tape is designed to be sewn onto the fabric. You can attach it by machine or hand, sewing along the base of the tape.
While durable, its suitability for heavy-duty applications depends on the specific weight and stress. For very demanding uses, additional reinforcement might be considered.
This specific product is black. Other colors may be available from Prym for similar hook and eye tapes.
Ensure the tape is sewn securely along its entire base. Check for any puckering in the fabric and re-sew if necessary. For curved edges, small notches cut into the fabric backing of the tape may help it lie flatter.
Verify that the tape is sewn smoothly and without twists. Ensure the 19mm spacing is correctly aligned with the garment opening. If snagging persists, check for any burrs on the metal components, though this is rare with Prym products.
This is normal for steel wire tapes. For softer drape on garments, consider using it on projects where structure is desired, such as bag closures or structured waistbands. For softer garments, a different closure type might be more appropriate.
