One of the first questions potential customers want to know when they call our company is: how much does your hot melt glue cost? 

When switching glue vendors, cost is a top concern. Although this is a very difficult question to answer, I will try my best to explain some hot melt cost drivers.

Simply put, you are shopping for a hot melt glue that will work properly without significantly driving up your costs. This sounds very straightforward but, believe it or not, there are many project specific details that we review to recommend the right hot melt glue for packaging applications. Each of these details may adjust the formula, and drive the cost (up or down).

Like some manufacturers in the United States we sell a high quality, high performance product which in turn does not make us the cheapest out there. Our protein glues (animal glues) are sold per pound so some customers look at that per pound price and say, in a cost cutting effort, let’s try the low cost/low quality brand instead.  What they soon find out is they didn't save money and all glues are not formulated the same.
