Protein glue setting too quickly? Frustrating. Right?

Defective product wrapping and pop-opens may occur if your glue is setting too quickly - and all of these issues cost your production team money.

Why does this happen? How can it be avoided?

Your glue could be setting too quickly if the glue temperature, or the humidity levels in your plant are not at the recommended setting. No matter what type of glue you are using, you should always make sure you are running it at the proper (recommended) temperature. Running at the proper temperature will help to avoid pop-opens, skewed set times, and messy equipment.
