Five details to share before selecting a packaging adhesive

Your enquiry checklist

1. Materials: name the board, paper or film and any coating.
2. Application: describe the joint and how adhesive is applied.
3. Machine settings: provide current line speed and operating conditions.
4. Bonding issue: describe when and where the bond fails, if applicable.
5. Required result: explain handling, storage and transport conditions.

Look at the process as well as the adhesive

For hot melt carton sealing, application quantity, compression and temperature can affect bond formation. Diagnose the actual cause before changing a grade or machine setting. Follow the relevant technical guidance.
