1. A fastening product, comprising: a flexible, sheet-form substrate having a surface; a plurality of walls extending from the surface and defining therebetween an array of cells bounded by the walls such that the walls separate adjacent cells of the array, the substrate forming a floor of each cell; and a plurality of fastener elements extending from the surface and interspersed among the cells, the fastener elements having heads spaced above the surface to define loop engagement overhangs disposed within the cells, wherein the cells of the array are arranged in columns and rows, each column and each row comprising at least three of the cells, such that there exists at least one closed path within the substrate that fully circumscribes at least one of the cells; wherein the walls are configured to form flow barriers between adjacent cells when the fastening product is held against a flat surface with the fastener elements extending from the substrate towards the flat surface; and wherein the walls and the fastener elements together comprise a contiguous mass of a resin.
