a method for forming a double - sided loop strap includes : receiving a continuous longitudinal strip of loop material including a strip - form base bearing a field of upstanding loops on a fastening side of the strip bounded by opposite longitudinal edges , folding each of the longitudinal edges away from the fastening side , such that the base overlaps itself , and securing the folded edges in place by permanently bonding together overlapped areas of the base to form the double - sided loop strap .
