Industrial fabric comprising a seaming element for seaming a first seamable edge region of an industrial textile to a second seamable edge region of the industrial textile , the seaming element constructed from a single layer of polymeric film folded to provide a fold region (12; 212; 312) and arms that comprise a first region (18; 218; 318), the seaming element further comprising a second region (16; 216; 316), (i) the first region (18; 218; 318) is constructed and arranged to be bonded to a first and second surface of the first seamable edge region; and (ii) the second region (16; 216; 316) comprises a plurality of spaced-apart aligned protrusions (20; 220; 320) extending from the first region (18; 218; 318), each protrusion (20; 220; 320) comprising an interior space (26, 36; 226, 236; 326, 336) defined by an upper layer; a lower layer; and a loop at the fold region (12; 212; 312) that connects the upper and lower layers; characterized in that (A) the interior space is divided into an outer securing region (26; 226; 326) and an inner securing (36; 236; 336) region by either: a) a rib member (30; 230; 330) placed between and bonded to an inner surface (K) of at least one of the upper and lower layer, or by b) bonding a portion of the upper layer with a portion of the lower layer at a constriction zone (230; 330); with the outer securing region (26; 226; 326) defined in part by an inner surface (24; 224; 324) of the loop; (B) the outer securing region (26; 226; 326) is interdigitatable and alignable with the inner securing region (36; 236; 336) of a corresponding second seaming element bonded to the second seamable edge region of the textile , to define a first channel (26; 226; 326); and (C) the inner securing region (36; 236; 336) is interdigitatable and alignable with the outer securing region (26; 226; 326) of the corresponding second seaming element , to define a second channel (36; 236; 336); whereby each of the first and second channels (26, 36; 226, 236; 326, 336) is constructed and arranged to receive a securing means . (i) the first region (18; 218; 318) is constructed and arranged to be bonded to a first and second surface of the first seamable edge region; and (ii) the second region (16; 216; 316) comprises a plurality of spaced-apart aligned protrusions (20; 220; 320) extending from the first region (18; 218; 318), each protrusion (20; 220; 320) comprising an interior space (26, 36; 226, 236; 326, 336) defined by an upper layer; a lower layer; and a loop at the fold region (12; 212; 312) that connects the upper and lower layers; (A) the interior space is divided into an outer securing region (26; 226; 326) and an inner securing (36; 236; 336) region by either: a) a rib member (30; 230; 330) placed between and bonded to an inner surface (K) of at least one of the upper and lower layer, or by b) bonding a portion of the upper layer with a portion of the lower layer at a constriction zone (230; 330); with the outer securing region (26; 226; 326) defined in part by an inner surface (24; 224; 324) of the loop; a) a rib member (30; 230; 330) placed between and bonded to an inner surface (K) of at least one of the upper and lower layer, or by b) bonding a portion of the upper layer with a portion of the lower layer at a constriction zone (230; 330); (B) the outer securing region (26; 226; 326) is interdigitatable and alignable with the inner securing region (36; 236; 336) of a corresponding second seaming element bonded to the second seamable edge region of the textile , to define a first channel (26; 226; 326); and (C) the inner securing region (36; 236; 336) is interdigitatable and alignable with the outer securing region (26; 226; 326) of the corresponding second seaming element , to define a second channel (36; 236; 336); <EOS>
