Packaging is where hot melt adhesive proves itself at line speed: a carton flap, a paper bag seam or a handbag handle has a second or two to bond, and then the package is stacked, shipped and handled as if the bond had always been there. The manufacturer's packaging direction sits inside its pressure sensitive family as a named group, and it reaches from carton sealing through paper packaging to finished paper goods such as handbags, gift boxes and self-adhesive cartons.
The handbag adhesive listing is documented in full: viscosity of 1,000–3,500 cps at 180°C, yellow colour, a softening point of 60–90°C, a working temperature of 150–180°C, blocks of 0.45, 0.6, 1 and 5 kg, packing of 20 or 25 kg per carton, free samples and a 1,000 kg minimum. Its stated working characteristics are the packaging virtues in order: fast setting on cooling for line speed, a non-toxic profile for products consumers handle, and compatibility across the papers, boards and plastics that paper packaging combines.

| Softening point | 60–90°C |
| Working temperature | 150–180°C |
| Block specification | 0.45 / 0.6 / 1 / 5 kg per block |
| Packing / minimum | 20 or 25 kg per carton / 1,000 kg |
Packaging Jobs in This Family
- Carton sealing and case work — fast-setting bonds for folded board at packing-line speed.
- Paper bags and handbags — side seams, handle and wrist-strap bonding, covered in depth on the handbag page.
- Gift boxes and self-adhesive cartons — the documented application list of the packaging group.
- Book and paper goods — adjacent to the EVA granule bookbinding line, chosen by equipment and finish.
The specification error to avoid in packaging is over-bonding: a grade chosen for maximum strength can wrinkle light board, bleed through thin paper, or slow the line with stringing. The right question is the lightest bond that survives the package's real journey — stacking load, transport vibration, warehouse temperature — and that is a sample-and-test question on your own board, which is the route the enquiry opens.
How to Specify This Adhesive
A useful enquiry names five things: the substrate or material being bonded, the application method and equipment, the coat weight in grams per square metre where it is known, the temperature the bond must withstand in service, and the test standard your customer applies. Those five points are the same starting points the manufacturer's own customisation process uses when it opens a new formulation brief, and they let the laboratory match an existing grade before anyone talks about developing a new one.
If you are replacing an adhesive already in production, send its current grade name or a sample description — viscosity behaviour, colour and the failure you are trying to fix (edge lifting, ooze, stringing, cold failure) narrow the choice faster than a catalogue number. Samples are part of the documented route: free samples are listed on many product pages, and the freight arrangement for your sample is confirmed in the reply.
Supply, Packing and Samples
The documented minimum order on product listings is 1,000 kg, consistent with the 1-tonne minimum stated in the manufacturer's published frequently asked questions, and the documented production cycle is 7–15 days. Packing follows the listing for the grade — film-wrapped blocks are the standard form, with carton packing stated per product — and can be confirmed against your handling requirements in the quotation. Nothing on this page promises a grade's availability before the quotation confirms it for your specification.
Which adhesive for carton sealing?
Carton sealing is a documented application of this family. The grade depends on board weight, line speed and warehouse conditions; send those three and the matched grade is quoted.
Can the packaging grade handle coated board?
Coated and laminated boards wet differently from plain board. State the board finish in the enquiry so the grade and coat weight are matched to it, and test on production board.
What is the minimum for packaging adhesive?
The documented handbag listing states 1,000 kg, consistent with the published 1-tonne minimum.
Send the application, substrate, application method and the quantity you need — the grade, sample route and price are confirmed per product in the written quotation.
