The rising demands for more eco-friendly packaging and products have sparked a growing interest in plastic-free adhesives. As we all strive to contribute to a greener planet, taking time to consider the adhesives that make our packaging, labeling, and lamination processes possible can make a big difference.

We've seen a lot of news surrounding the topic of paper straws over the last couple of years. Companies like Starbucks, Hyatt, and American Airlines are working to move away from single-use plastic straws completely.

Manufacturers and distributors worldwide all rely on industrial adhesive to get the job done. From binding books, packaging products, adhering labels, or developing paper products, using dependable adhesive matters. The glue used on your production line doesn’t just help the finished product come together; it can mean the difference between expensive production costs and high productivity. Choosing the right kind of adhesive matters, but how to select the right one?
