Why use Glue Dots?
These adhesive dots are used by various industries such as print finishers, contract packers, direct mail companies, packaging businesses and product assembly firms. The printing and mailing industry uses glue dots to attach promotional items and gift cards to envelopes. They are also used to close brochures and attach items such as CDs and free samples to magazines, packaging, and other promotional literature.
Why should I buy Glue Dots rather than double-sided tapes or hot-melt glue?
These Glue Dots are non-toxic, photo-safe, and acid-free. They are a safe alternative to hot-melt glue guns and liquid glue. They can be applied faster than hot-melt glue and leave no sticky residue as in double-sided tapes. Their mess-free application improves productivity and reduces costs in industrial applications.
Are Glue Dots safer than conventional products?
These are non-toxic, odorless, photo-safe, and acid-free. They are far safer as compared to hot-melt options. Since they don’t leave any residue behind, they are safer than double-sided tapes.
How should I apply Glue Dots?
For applying, you need to press the substrate against the adhesive glue dot and peel it off. Then, you should press the dot onto the intended surface. Take care not to contaminate the dot with dust or oil, as that can reduce its effectiveness.
Is there a faster method for applying Glue Dots?
Glue Dots can be applied quickly by using a tape dispenser. Unroll the tape from the ATG dispenser and press it against the intended surface. Then peel away the substrate tape. Now you can stick a paper card or label to the adhesive glue dot.
What are the materials that Glue Dots adhere to?
Adhesive dots are quite versatile and can be applied to a variety of materials, such as paper, plastic, wood, foam, aluminum, foil, and glass.
How should I prepare a surface before applying Glue Dots?
The surface where you intend to apply the adhesive dots should be wiped clean. It should be free from moisture, dust, oils, lotions, or tape residue because that can reduce the bonding effectiveness of the adhesive. Silicone coating can also interfere with its bonding quality.
What is the shelf life of Glue Dots?
Glue Dots do not degrade over time. However, like most other adhesives, they should be stored at normal temperatures, and in a clean and dry environment. It is advisable to store them in their original packaging and prevent their exposure to extreme heat, humidity, or sunlight. These factors can degrade their bonding qualities.
