SPEEDWRAP® vs. The Competition
In business, the customer always comes first. That’s why when given the choice of hook and loop products, distributors choose Speedtech International’s SPEEDWRAP® products over other competing brands.
On the surface, all hook and loop products might seem similar, but ask anyone in IT or the film and audio industry which products they trust, and you’ll understand why we tell our customers that all hook and loop products are not built the same.
To prove it, we wanted to give you an in-depth look at our line of SPEEDWRAP® products and put them to the test against the most popular hook and loop products on the market to see which one comes out on top.
Where are the products made?
The location of manufacturing plants affects the quality and longevity of your hook and loop products more than you think. Different quality standards and regulations exist in every country, meaning you might not know what you’re getting until it’s too late.
SPEEDWRAP®
All SPEEDWRAP® products are proudly made in the USA. Because of this, every SPEEDWRAP® product must pass rigorous quality control tests before ever reaching the hands of a consumer. This includes ISO 9001:2015 Certification and other on-site inspections.
Competitors
Millions of dollars worth of hook and loop products are imported from overseas every year. Because of this, competitors often lack consistency and sometimes fail during demanding conditions.
As a result, other hook and loop brands might be cheaper, but in the long term, rebuying products due to poor construction costs businesses and distributors more in the long run.
Durability and Longevity
Hook and loop usage ranges from something as small as hanging holiday lights to protecting wires for data centers. Either way, your customers need something durable that won’t quickly fall apart.
SPEEDWRAP®
Built with industrial-grade materials, SPEEDWRAP® products stand up to harsh environments, heavy-duty applications, and repeated use. Before any SPEEDWRAP® products hit the market, they’re run through rigorous testing to ensure maximum performance no matter the situation or the location.
Competitors
Lower-cost alternatives often use cheaper materials that fray, lose grip, or degrade over time.
Product Range and Versatility
Different businesses need different products. Before stocking your shelves, let’s examine the available offerings to see which might better suit your consumer base.
SPEEDWRAP®
One of the biggest benefits of the SPEEDWRAP® product line is that they produce hook and loop products for nearly every industry.
For simple applications in the tech and office space, SPEEDWRAP® cable ties work perfectly. Needing something a bit tougher? SPEEDWRAP® High-Temperature cinch straps provide industrial-level strength and keep their hold even in high temperatures.
SPEEDWRAP® serves a large customer base across industries with a wide range of hook and loop products.
Competitors
Competing brands focus on limited-use products, such as standard cable ties, with fewer heavy-duty or custom application options. You may need to contact multiple brands to serve their needs if you have a diverse customer base.
Reusability and Eco-Friendliness
Every year, sustainability and eco-friendliness become increasingly important to consumers. The bottom line is that consumers want to buy products that last while feeling like they’re doing their part to help the environment.
SPEEDWRAP®
Every SPEEDWRAP® is designed for reusability. Our hook and loop products last longer than competitors because they use genuine VELCRO® Brand products and adhere to rigorous standards.
Competitors
Regarding cable ties, single-use plastic ties and cheap hook and loop ties dominate the market while contributing to the ever-growing amount of environmental waste. Consumers must throw away ties repeatedly as they fail after minimal use, reducing reusability and eco-friendliness.
Distribution Support
As fears of increased tariffs grow and supply chain disruptions continue to affect businesses, distribution support has become more critical than ever. As a distributor, you want to know where your products are and whether they will be delivered on time.
SPEEDWRAP®
As a U.S.-based company, Speedtech International provides more than just products. Our support team delivers on-time shipping, flexible ordering options, and, most importantly, complete insight into where your products are. There is complete insight into our supply chain, so you have no questions after you place your order.
Competitors
Without U.S.-based manufacturing, distributors are left to the whims of mother nature, outside circumstances, and other supply chain disruptions. As a result, it becomes harder to resolve surprise issues or meet tight deadlines.
The Bottom Line for Distributors
When your business stocks SPEEDWRAP® products, you offer customers a proven, versatile hook and loop solution. And because Speedtech International is based in the United States, you don’t have to worry about tariffs or supply chain disruptions costing you time and money.
