We have several different types of glue available. Select from Dextrin, Resin, Casein, Starch, Hot Pick Up, Jelly Gum, Glue Sticks, and Hot-Melt. E-mail the types of products you are gluing, the amount of "open" time you need, and the setting time you need, we will send a sample of glue for your inspection. Most glues available in 4 gallon cases, 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.
We also carry glue sticks for the glue guns.  Hot melt sticks are available in 1/2" and 5/8" widths.

Tack - The higher the number the higher the tack.  A tackier product is desired if the label has the proper amount of adhesive, yet the corners do not adhere promptly to the substrate.  Heavier label stocks may require tackier adhesives.

* - A product preceded by an asterisk is freeze thaw stable.  IF frozen in shipment and allowed to return to room temperature, the product will not be damaged.  Some slight stirring may be required before use.

Note:  GF#5 liquid glue requires no daily cleanup!  Request Service Bulletin #5 for details, or email us with your request.

Other larger systems available depending upon application. If you have a labeling application not represented, e-mail your specifications to us.
