Laminating might sound like a broad term to the average person, but we know it well at LD Davis Industries. 

Our adhesives have been used in laminating applications for many decades, and our customers continue to rely on our glues to solve technical difficulties they may encounter during laminating processes.

Laminating Glues

Our protein glues, also known as animal glue or hide glue, are used in laminating applications.

Laminating generally refers to adhering a paper label to a substrate surface, and is a process seen in a variety of industries. Our animal glue products are used to laminate paper labels onto corrugated boxes, sample books, folding cartons, and hardbound cases (books), and more.
