Glue Dots

Glue dots are tiny, sticky circles that are used in print and packaging to hold things together quickly and cleanly. Imagine them as little patches of glue that don’t make a mess, don’t drip, and don’t need any drying time. They come in various sizes and strengths. You can choose one for light tasks, like sticking a flyer to a product. For heavier tasks, pick a stronger option that holds things in place longer.

These handy dots are perfect for:

  • Securing samples or coupons to packages, so customers can try something new.
  • Holding products inside boxes during shipping, preventing them from shifting or breaking.
  • Sealing packaging like brochures, product inserts, or even gift cards without the hassle of liquid glue.
  • Attaching information leaflets or instructions inside packaging for regulated products like food or medicine, making sure they’re securely placed but easy to remove when needed.

The best part? Glue dots are quick and clean. They leave no sticky residue, so they are perfect for high-volume printing and packaging. This keeps everything neat, organised, and compliant. 

Whether you’re working with pharmaceutical labels, retail packaging, or promotional mailers, glue dots are your go-to tool for a fast, mess-free solution.

The Competitive Advantage of Effective Packaging

Effective packaging is multi-functional. At the bare minimum, packaging has to be able to adequately contain the product inside, but in cutthroat, performance-driven industries “good enough” rarely is.
