Trust
in Glue Dots® for your Printing and
Bindery Needs
For printing
and bindery needs, including postpress finishes,
Glue Dots® from Glue Fast, the largest
distributor of the adhesives on the East
Coast, prove the most cost effective and
efficient adhesive available. With no need
for equipment, you can easily apply spot
glue accents to books, brochures, catalogs,
or more, for a precise finish. The Dot Shot
Pro, the applicator for Glue Dots®,
makes it easy for quick binding. Achieve
accurate and clean edges, with unique patterns
or intricate detail without spending too
much time or money.
Glue Dots® are pressure
sensitive adhesives, which means they are
much safer, cleaner, and faster than hot
melt glues or other industrial adhesives.
They also come in different strengths like
low to medium tack, so you can find the
hold you need. Avoid the messy aftermath
of hot glues – stains, clumping, or
uneven pages – with an adhesive that
holds strong and stays unnoticed. Whether
it’s pamphlets, brochures, catalogs,
or other items, Glue Dots® are the right
adhesive for your printing and binding needs.
Using Glue Dots® opens up a wide range
of postpress possibilities. See below for
more uses in printing and bindery.
