The Benefits of Glue Dots 

You've heard of glue guns and glue sticks, but have you heard of glue dots? These adhesive dots are a great alternative to many other types of glue on the market and have a surprising amount of uses and benefits.  

Adhesive Dots are easy to use. 

Some adhesives require heavy machinery and expert tools to handle. After all, they can get very hot and bond very fast, so there's not much room for error. Not just anyone can operate a machine or even use a heavy-duty glue gun. But almost anyone can use a glue dot.

Most adhesive dots come on a roll of tape. All you have to do is peel away the tape, and stick the dot wherever you want it to go. It's a quick and easy process, and the adhesion is instant. Some even come in non-permanent bonds so you can remove them and adjust if you don't get it right the first time. 

They come in a variety of profiles and tack types. 

Adhesive glue dots can come in many varieties to fit almost any need on the market. They have three profiles—low, medium, and high—and up to five different levels of tack, or stickiness, from low to permanent. Low-profile glue dots are helpful for applications that need the bonded substrates in the glue to flush. High-profile dots can bridge gaps or connect irregular surfaces. Their variety of thicknesses makes them versatile, working on almost any shape or surface. You can use them in crafts, construction, repairs, and more!  

 They are a safer alternative than most adhesives.

Hot melt adhesives and other heavy-duty glues usually require a great amount of heat to work. They can also contain chemicals, toxins, and acids, depending on who manufactured them. But glue dots eliminate these dangers along with any risk of fumes, burns, or equipment malfunctions.

They're also cleaner and less high-maintenance. Anyone who has used a glue gun knows the hassle and mess that melted glue can make or the frustration of getting it in the wrong place. Some glues can take forever to dry. If it's too hot, it can damage the material you're using it on. And the smell of glue is noxious. All of those problems disappear with glue dots. 

 Glue Dots for Gift Baskets

Companies that make gift baskets and specialty gift kits use glue dots to make a perfect presentation. This application is usually referred to as "kitting." Kitting can be done in baskets, window boxes, trays, canisters, cartons, bags, and more. Glue dots for gift baskets can help protect glass from colliding, such as wine bottles or glass wear, and also hold all items in place so they don't shift. Product presentation and product protection are critical for fulfillment kitting services.
