Common Questions About Best Adhesives for Packaging
Tape is often associated with packaging. While the usage of tape may work for a low number of packages, it can become increasingly inefficient and costly at a moderate or high volume. Tape can disrupt your workflow and ultimately reduce productivity. Because it is sensitive to temperature, the bond can also be easily compromised. Hot melt, however, will result in both a stronger bond and a better-looking package — all while saving you money.
Hot melt adhesives can bond everything from small detailed cartons to heavy-duty wraparound cases. It's perfect for all types of packaging because the variety of formulas available makes fitting every application's need easy. Hot melt not only has a high heat resistance, but some formulas can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees C and humid environments. While different types of packaging may come in a wide array of materials, this does not affect the use of hot melt as it can firmly adhere to all types of paper, board and plastics, along with various other substrates. Hot melt products are also available in bulk, making them cost-effective.
