1. A method for assembling an assembly comprising a tape of retaining elements and a substrate, said method comprising the following steps:
a step of forming a tape of retaining elements by dispensing a molding material into a molding device, so as to form a tape of retaining elements comprising a base presenting a bottom face and a top face, the top face of the base being provided with retaining elements; and
a step of applying a substrate against the bottom face of the base following the step of forming the tape and prior to said bottom face of the base solidifying in such a manner as to cause the substrate to penetrate at least in part beyond a plane defined by the bottom face of the base of the tape; wherein the substrate is applied against the bottom face of the base of the tape of retaining elements downstream from a location where the tape of retaining elements is formed with molding material dispenser means that form the tape and prior to said bottom face of the base solidifying,
wherein the molding device is a molding strip and the base of the tape is free from any increased thickness extending continuously along edges of the base of the tape.
