Why Choose Glue Dots® Brand Adhesives?
In 1997, we came up with an original alternative to messy liquid glues and hot glue guns: a double-sided, pressure-sensitive adhesive that can be used for everything from crafts to household repairs to food packaging and more. We’ve continued to evolve to meet our customers’ needs by providing adhesives in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and tack levels as well as several application methods for high-volume use.
Over the last 20+ years, Glue Dots have been successfully used for many purposes, including:
• Securing products in a package prior to shrink wrapping
• Securing informational sheets to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products
• Holding gift basket items in place to ensure a beautiful presentation
• Affixing samples, business cards, promotional items, and more to the outside of packages
• Holding items in place so they can be fastened with nails, screws, ties, or other adhesives
• Securing envelopes and packages

Choosing the correct Glue Dots for your application depends upon a variety of factors. When making your selection, ask yourself these questions:
• Do I need a removable or permanent bond?
• Do I need an adhesive that can safely come in contact with food or cosmetic items?
• How large or heavy are the items I need to secure?
• Is this for commercial use, and do I need a high volume of Glue Dots and an easy way to automatically apply them?
• If I’m applying multiple Glue Dots, how far apart do they need to be?
These questions can help you determine what type of Glue Dots adhesive you need. We also offer custom adhesive solutions if your project is even farther outside the box!
