It's August, and man is it hot.

Maybe you work in a manufacturing plant that is hit with extreme heat and humidity during the summer months. If so, there are some things you should keep in mind when it comes to running your glue in this weather. 

Emmeci is an international leader in automatic lines for the production of high quality rigid set-up boxes. But as you know, a box is only as good as the glue that keeps it together. 

Consumer safety is critical when manufacturing packaging for food and beverages. To help protect the public, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the use of glue for food packaging purposes.

One major benefit of cake glues (animal glues, hide glues, protein glues) is their open time can be adjusted. This is ideal when you need to accommodate a variety of equipment run speeds, and substrate sizes.
