What You Need to Know About Our Hot Melt Adhesives
Hot melt adhesives are, quite literally, the glue that holds many industries together. They are 100% solid formulations made of thermoplastic resins, solid at room temperature. Quite versatile, you can reshape, soften, and dispense them for virtually any use. Their quick bonding time minimizes clamp time, making assembly faster. Once fully cooled, they become strong enough to hold together even steel and plastic.
Astro Packaging sells many types of adhesive products for every kind of business. Whether you're in the packaging, paper converting, graphic arts, book binding, product assembly, or textile industries, we have the best hot melt adhesives for you.

Sometimes all you need to get the job done is a simple glue stick or dot. Astro Packaging sells a few of these types of adhesive products for heavy duty uses or simple crafts. The ST11 glue stick is a high temperature clear hot melt ideal for repack and general purpose packaging applications.
Glue dots, however, don't use hot melt. There's no burning, no set up required, yet they are sticky all the time. They're most commonly used in gift baskets to hold items in place to keep them presentable. They're quite flexible and have many uses. We recommend trying our GD-DSP41-401 Glue Dots. At only a ½ Low Profile, they're super sticky and have a high tack, with 1,500 dots per roll.
