Glue Dots® Adhesive Products
The Right Glue Dots
for the Job
®
With five standard tack levels and three profile options, there is a Glue Dots®
adhesive for every application. Custom sizes, formulas and configurations are also available.
Low and Medium Tack are considered removable. Depending upon the substrates used,
High Tack may be removable or permanent. In most cases Super High Tack creates a
permanent bond and will tear paper.
As the strength of the bond is
substrate dependent, we recommend
adequate testing be conducted to
determine the proper tack level
for your application and will supply
Product Samples throughout the
testing process.
Low Profile Glue Dots® are thin and
used for bonding level items. Medium
and High Profiles are used to create
or bridge a gap between substrates.

Packaging
Carma Labs developed a
multi-pack of its Carmex® lip
balm for sale at warehouse
clubs. But the products wouldn’t
stay in place on the backer card
during shrink-wrapping. Applied
with a SynchroDot™ Pro, Glue
Dots® kept the products in
place and helped Carma Labs
stay on schedule.
