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!
