Just because you already used the suggested term doesn't mean you can't keep the question open.

You are right, but that's exactly what I was looking for! Moreover, I am done with the job so I couldn't wait to translate the last word :)

Though I also agreed, you might wish to wait a bit longer before grading, there may be different suggestions. In any case, ProZ recommends that you wait at least 24 h before grading.

velcro or hook and loop backing

I am pretty sure the term Velcro is trademarked - the generic term is hook and loop
