Abstract
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a flexible fastening member (19) comprising a foil (1) for fastening an object (15) thereto, characterized by making at least two generally U-shaped incisions (5) which are spaced apart, which define a central portion (23) between them, and which are directed oppositely to another, the open ends of the U-shapes facing away from another so as to create two mutually opposed tags (11), and by bending the foil (1) along two parallel bending lines (13), each line being situated at the open end of a U-shaped incision (5) so as to obtain a generally U-shaped member (19) whose base is said central portion (23), and to obtain the tags (11) as extensions of the legs (25) of said U-shaped member and situated at one side of the plane (20) defined by the central portion (23), the legs (25) being situated at the other side of said plane (20). The invention also relates to a fastening member obtained by the method, an object provided with such a fastening member, a support provided with an object and such a fastening member, and a packaging provided with a number of such fastening members.
