Micro Fastener Tools
Avery Dennison’s smallest, most versatile fastener, Micro Fasteners save time, labor and money, and offer a better alternative to thread, glue, metal staples and pins. Three tools are available to safely and quickly apply Micro Fasteners to items: MicroTach™ Pistol-Grip Attaching Tool, MicroPin™; Standard Hook; and MicroPin™, Extended Hook. Each tool has an outside needle diameter of .047” and employs advanced technology that is gentle on fabric.
The small diameter needle delivers a unique T-End™ fastener that secures items tightly and quickly, yet is easy to remove. Ideal for packaging shirts and dress socks, tagging lingerie, swimwear and other highly elastic or tight weaves; and for packaging soft goods. The Micro Fastener needle is the thinnest needle ever created, and it also features a new surface polish technique that further prevents it from damaging fabrics.
