General Purpose Adhesives for Carton Sealing, Tray Forming, and More
End-of-Line Adhesives for Manufacturers and Converters
Keeping Up With Market Pressures
The modern packaging industry thrives on efficiency and reliability. The need continues to grow for line packaging adhesives that meet the ever-evolving demands of consumers and brand owners. Key among them are:
- Rapid production speeds. High-speed assembly lines require adhesives that keep pace without compromising bond strength.
- Material compatibility. The variety of box and carton materials and coatings continues to develop. To benefit from these innovations, manufacturers seek adhesives that bond reliably across the widest range—and most challenging—of substrates.
- Cost optimization. Balancing performance with affordability gives manufacturers and converters an edge. Adhesives that successfully bond with low add-on levels, or that minimize downtime for maintenance and cleaning, are well worth the cost.
- Sustainability concerns. Consumers and regulations place a growing emphasis on recycling and composting. The right adhesives help support these improved end-of-life outcomes.
