This article explores the role of packaging adhesive in the industry, introduces TECHBOND’s solutions, and helps you choose the right glue for your packaging line.

What Is Packaging Adhesive?

Packaging adhesive refers to glue or bonding agents used in packaging processes such as folding cartons, sealing corrugated boxes, manufacturing paper bags, and assembling paper-based food containers. These adhesives must provide strong adhesion, fast setting time, and compatibility with various packaging materials, especially paper and cardboard.

There are several types of adhesives used in packaging, but two main categories dominate the market: water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives. Each has distinct properties and is suited for different applications.

Why Is the Right Packaging Glue Important?

Using the correct packaging glue ensures:

  • Strong bonding to prevent packaging failure during handling and transport

  • Efficient production speed with fast setting and curing

  • Compatibility with substrates like kraft paper, coated board, and recycled paper

  • Sustainability through low-VOC formulations and recyclability

  • Clean appearance for high-quality packaging presentation

Choosing a subpar adhesive can lead to weak bonds, production delays, and damage during shipment — all of which impact your brand reputation and costs.

TECHBOND’s Packaging Adhesive Solutions

At TECHBOND, we provide two types of high-quality adhesives tailored for packaging: water-based adhesives and hot melt adhesives. Each offers specific benefits and is suitable for different packaging machines and processes.

1. Water-Based Adhesive for Packaging

Water-based packaging adhesive is a versatile solution ideal for paper bonding applications. TECHBOND formulates our water-based adhesives using polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), VAE and other eco-friendly polymers to deliver strong, flexible bonds.

Common Applications:

Water-based glue is commonly used in carton box and paper bag manufacturing

Water-based glue is commonly used in carton box and paper bag manufacturing

Features and Benefits:

  • Excellent adhesion: Strong bonding with kraft, duplex, art paper and coated paper

  • Eco-friendly and low VOC: Safe for workers and meets environmental standards

  • Clean application: Ideal for high-speed gluing machines

  • Cost-effective: High solid content for better coverage

Whether you’re producing paper bags with twisted handles or assembling carton boxes with precision gluing, TECHBOND water-based packaging adhesives ensure clean, strong, and fast results.

2. Hot Melt Adhesive for Packaging

Hot melt adhesives (HMA) are solid at room temperature and become liquid upon heating. Once applied, they cool and solidify quickly to form a strong bond. TECHBOND offers a variety of hot melt packaging glue solutions based on EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) and PO (Polyolefin) polymers.

Common Applications:

  • Carton and case sealing (manual or automated)

  • Corrugated box assembly

  • Paper bag handle assembly
  • Food-grade packaging

  • Paper tray and cup forming

  • Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging

Hot melt adhesive is specially engineered for fast speed production line

Hot melt adhesive is specially engineered for fast speed production line

Features and Benefits:

  • Fast setting: Increases production speed on high-speed lines

  • Strong adhesion: Excellent tack and bond strength on cardboard and paper

  • No drying time needed: Reduces energy use and floor space

  • Clean operation: Low stringing and minimal charring in glue guns and tank systems

Product Highlight:

TECHBOND HM Series – Our hot melt adhesive series is specially engineered for packaging. We offer filled and unfilled grades, with options for high heat resistance, fast setting time, and freezer-grade performance.

TECHBOND HM adhesives are ideal for carton sealing machines and packaging lines that demand speed and reliability.
