A flexible fastener captivator includes a flange comprising an orifice configured to enable a fastener to pass through and an adhesive, and a flexible cap coupled with the flange and configured to provide operational access to a fastener encapsulated within the cap, where the cap includes a retaining structure configured to hold a separate fastener within the cap. The retaining structure may be configured as a plurality of flexible ledges extending from an inner surface of the cap and having a planar surface configured to support a head of a separate fastener, such as a standard off-the-shelf screw or bolt. Such a captivator can be dimensioned commensurate with the fastener type and size for which its use is intended, and/or captivator strips may be constructed in Rack Units of length.
