A length of fastener stock () includes opposing first and second continuous side members&#x2014;(-) and (-) which are coupled together by a plurality of flexible cross-links (). Individual fasteners () are selectively obtained from the stock () by cutting or separating the side members (-) and (-) at appropriate points (i.e., midway) between the cross-links or filaments (). Accordingly, each fastener () will include a first cross-bar (-), which has been cut from side member (-), and a second cross-bar (-), which has been cut from side member (-), the cross-bars (-) and (-) being interconnected by the flexible filament (). Suitably, with respect to an axial cross-section thereof, the width W of the flexible filament () is greater than or equal to approximately one and a half-times the height H of the filament ().
