High-Speed Hook & Loop Circle Cutter for Garment Manufacturing?
In garment factories, time is tight and precision matters. Especially when cutting hook-and-loop circles for shoes, jackets, kidswear, and uniforms.
A high-speed hook & loop circle cutter automates dot production for garments, improving consistency, efficiency, and comfort—perfect for high-volume textile applications.
If you’re still cutting Velcro circles by hand or using slow tools, this guide shows how to upgrade your production with speed and style.
Why do garments need circular hook-and-loop fasteners?
From baby bibs to military uniforms, round Velcro dots offer safe, low-profile closures that won’t snag or scratch.
Circular hook-and-loop closures are preferred in apparel because they are soft, stylish, and easily integrated into fabrics without damaging the material.
Common garment uses
Clothing designers and factories use Velcro dots in:
- Children’s clothing and shoes
- Workwear and industrial uniforms
- Sportswear and athletic gear
- Fashion accessories and closures
Here’s why round dots matter:
- No sharp corners to irritate the skin
- Low profile = smoother fabric feel
- Easier for children or seniors to use
Many of our garment clients use Suzhou Haoxinhe Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. tools like the round shape cutting machine and different shapes cutting machine to supply circular Velcro closures in thousands of garment types.
How does a high-speed circle cutter improve garment production?
Manual circle cutting is slow and inaccurate. It leads to uneven edges, fabric damage, and inconsistent sizes that affect product quality.
A high-speed hook & loop circle cutter processes large rolls of material into perfect dots—automatically, cleanly, and fast.

Our hot and cold cutting machine or rotary bevel cutting machine delivers:
- Up to 10,000 dots per hour
- Diameter options from 10mm to 80mm
- Clean, sealed edges to prevent fraying
- Compatibility with soft-loop, nylon, and polyester Velcro
