Gluefast can help you with two adhesive types to seal cases and cartons:

Water Based Glues and Adhesives are safe and offer longer open times. They can be applied with a simple squeeze bottle, our SOLO GLUE RITER®, or our P.A.T. (Pneumatic Adhesive Tank). You can use a low cost vegetable glue which will set up in about a minute. One of our faster setting water based resin adhesives will set up faster (generally 10-30 seconds) and may provide greater water resistance. These products can be applied with a brush, extruded into a bead, or sprayed.

At Gluefast, we apply glue to cartons and then use plain paper tape to quickly seal the case. The glue then dries and forms a very strong bond – stronger than the corrugated itself!

For faster setting case and carton sealing, the speed of set of Hot Melt Adhesives are much faster than water-based adhesives. Our Hot Melt Glue Guns and Glue Sticks can quickly apply hot melt adhesive for bonding with compression times as low as one or two seconds.

Our Glue Dots® applied with the Dot Shot Pro applicator is another solution for sealing boxes.Our Glue Dots® applied with the Dot Shot Pro applicator is another solution for sealing boxes. The Super Hi Tack 1/4” stitch pattern when applied with the Dot Shot Pro places 1/4” diameter dots of strong pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive 0.4” center-to-center, effectively sealing the boxes.

If you have a particular gluing application, contact our Glue Master to see if we can be of assistance. If we cannot help you we will do our best to point you in the direction of someone who can!

Get the results you want each time with Glue Dots ®, pressure sensitive adhesives that are safer and easier to use than hot melt glues. Packaged onto a 1-inch wide silicone paper release liner, wound into a roll, and placed inside a dispenser box, Glue Dots ® are the ideal adhesive for many applications. Clean and easy to apply, either by touching the item to the Glue Dot ® or using the Dot Shot Pro to apply the dot to an item, Glue Dots ® won’t leave any messy side effects like other industrial adhesives or double-sided tapes (some surfaces may stain so testing is recommended). Glue Fast, the largest stocking distributor of Glue Dots on the East Coast, offers the dots of glue, which are often referred to as fugitive or booger glue, in three different thicknesses, known as profile, and four different tack strengths. Choose a profile size from low (1/64th inch thick; the standard), medium (1/16th inch thick) and high (1/8 inch thick). Attach any tw o substrates with easy to remove to semi-permanent holds with choices in strengths ranging from low, medium, high, or super high. Long recognized as the ideal adhesive in many industries, Glue Dots ® are used in companies and businesses like Promotional Packaging and Bundling, Crafts, Scrapbooking, Greeting Cards and card making, Printing and Bindery, Pharmaceutical Packaging, and Direct Mail.
