Hot Melt for Packaging
Packaging with hot melt glue sticks is not a one size fits all application. That is why we carry the line of incredible packaging glue sticks from Infinity Bond. This line covers every possible packaging need and does it at some amazing prices. So, without further ado, let's get to it.
Benefits of Hot Melt for Packaging
As your business grows, using hot melt for packaging can offer many cost-saving and efficiency benefits. Packaging with hot melt is quick and easy and glue guns can run continuously for your entire workday. Hot melt also offers a superior bond and is less expensive than other packaging techniques, like tape.
Make the Switch From Tape to Hot Melt
Tape is often associated with packaging, and though it may work for a very low volume of packages, once you move to a moderate to a large number of packages, tape becomes increasingly inefficient and costly. Tape can disrupt your workflow which ultimately costs you a lot in terms of productivity. It also is sensitive to temperature and the bond can easily be compromised. Hot melt will result in a stronger bond and better-looking package, all while saving you money.
