Abstract: A method of manufacturing a surface fastener includes a molding step of molding a pre-fastener body and a stretching step of obtaining the surface fastener by stretching the pre-fastener body in a machine direction by a stretching device, the stretching device including at least a first heating roller, a second heating roller, and a stretching roller, the stretching roller being configured to rotate at a faster rotational speed than the second heating roller. The stretching step includes heating the tentative base portion of the pre-fastener body with the first heating roller; heating engagement elements of the pre-fastener body with the second heating roller; and setting a heating temperature of the second heating roller to be lower than a heating temperature of the first heating roller. Consequently, the surface fastener can be manufactured while lowering of the engagement elements and thinning of the base portion are suppressed or prevented.
