Since its invention in the 1960s, Avery Dennison’s Swiftach system has transformed how industries secure tags and labels. Originally developed as an economical alternative to traditional fastening methods like glue, tape, or string, the system has expanded beyond garment tagging to applications ranging from product assembly to livestock identification.
The Swiftach system features lightweight, ergonomic hand tools available in scissor-grip and pistol-grip styles, along with durable fasteners in multiple sizes and designs. These include loop, hook, T-end, and button-end variants, with lengths ranging from 0.5 to five inches and tensile strength up to nine pounds. A specialized fine fabric version caters to delicate materials, ensuring minimal damage while maintaining secure fastening.
Manufactured by Avery Dennison’s Fastener Division, the system meets stringent international standards, including ISO 14001, ISO 18001, and ISO/TS 16949:2002 certifications, as well as RoHS compliance. Its versatility has made it a preferred solution in retail, agriculture, and manufacturing, where efficiency and reliability are critical.
Suppliers like Cords Canada offer the Swiftach system, including replacement needles and hand tools, ensuring accessibility for businesses seeking a proven fastening solution. With decades of refinement, Swiftach remains a testament to Avery Dennison’s legacy of innovation in industrial materials and attaching technologies.
