*A product with an asterisk indicates this
is the adhesive of choice for the application.
This labeling guide serves
as a recommendation only. Final suitability
of the product must be determined by the
user.
We feature a full line
of labeling adhesives for manual, electric,
and automatic label gluing machines. We
have many unique products, such as our GF
#5 glue for labeling cartons and paper
bags which requires no daily cleanup!
We also have adhesives for labeling metal
and plastics.
Our excellent "lay-flat"
products (GF
#637 glue & GF #876 adhesive) are
used for mounting large labels, posters,
and photographs. These products have
high solids and tack (stickiness), and long
"open time" allowing the operator
ample time to properly position the label.
When these adhesives are used with our gluer
and presses we call this team the Wrinkle
Tamers!
One of our newest labeling
adhesives, GF #97,
is great as a universal labeling adhesive,
and does not require daily cleanup!
