Hold-On holds string ends
while you work and
prevents beads from
slipping off. From Soft
Flex™ to silk, Hold-On works
on all stringing materials.
Hold-On is a must-have tool
for beading; it replaces tape
which leaves a sticky
residue, is more secure than
clips, removable, reusable, ready to use
and non-toxic. The back label shows
the three quick steps to using Hold-On.
Remove it by simply pulling it off the string end.
With Hold-On you can try on your work before crimping on
your findings; just push the string ends secured with Hold-On
together and make adjustments before it’s too late!

PRICE INC st
REASE!
Helby Import/Soft Flex® Companies Announce Price Increases for First Time in a Decade
since 1994. Effective August 1st, 2004, we are increasing
our price structures for all of our stainless steel
stringing products, as listed below. Please update your

orders shall remain the same.
Over the last few years foreign countries have been
purchasing massive quantities of raw materials from

regret to inform you, our valued customer, that we
must raise prices on Soft Flex®, Soft Touch™ and Soft

Helby Import Co. and Soft Flex® Co. will continue to
