What is Hot Melt?
A blend of man-made rubbers, hydrocarbon, resins and additives made at high temperatures and cooled after application.
Hot melt adhesive is supplied to us in solid cylindrical sticks or cubes and designed to be melted to ‘spreadable’ liquid form at 160˚C in electric hot glue guns, mounted at the front of our 28 metre production machines.
Within 0.2 seconds, we apply a silicon-backed white release paper so the glue retains its ‘sticky-power’ before cooling 4 metres further down the machine.
Our hot melt packaging provides the best seal without the need for much pressure and requires no activation by water, solvent or heat at the point of fulfilment.
Make no mistake, D/S tape is cheaper and easier to manufacture. That’s why you’ll see it on low quality packaging from the far-east. But as a sign of quality, security and ease of use; only trust hotmelt for ecommerce packaging.
