Glue dots
Glue dots are pressure-sensitive adhesive dots, used in various different applications, such as sticking credit cards to paper, arts and crafts, and as a safe adhesive for children to use, without needing a hot glue gun. Glue dots are globules of adhesive, which allow attachments to float above a page. They provide a clean and instant bond and are often a more suitable solution than hot or liquid glues or adhesive tapes. Glue dots leave much less mess, residue, and odor which help present a product in the best way, whilst increasing productivity and reducing costs. Removable glue dots also allow you to create a bond which can be removed when needed.
Types of glue dots
Glue dots are supplied in different tack levels:- High Tack Glue Dots: for removable or temporary fixing such as sticking credit cards to letterheads
- Low Tack Glue Dots: still removable, but create much stronger adhesion for heavier items, such as sticking CDs to magazines.
- High Shear Tack: semi-permanent glue dots with vertical hold ability that will create a strong bond between most surfaces.
- Super High Tack: permanent glue dots which will create a strong, permanent bond between most surfaces.
Benefits
Glue dots create bonds instantly, leave no mess, cause less waste, and avoid harmful burns which some people may experience when using a hot glue gun.Uses of glue dots
