Point of sale packaging adhesives

Point of Sale packaging is ideal for promoting goods either at checkouts, focal points in store or larger displays such as at aisle ends. It displays the product in an eye catching, visually engaging way to capture the attention of the customer and illicit a feeling that this is a product they need to buy even if it was not something they were planning on.

Tapes & staples can obscure graphics, so for the cleanest most visually appealing finish, ahesives offer the best bonding solution.

It’s often difficult to automate the production of the displays as runs are short, some components are very large and designs contain many interchangeable elements.

The finished displays have a tough life, often loaded with heavy merchandise and then dragged around the stores – so the structural integrity can be severely tested. Add to this, exposure to sunlight if in a window display and low temperatures during transportation or unheated warehousing, and it’s clear to see that any adhesive used in the manufacture of point of sale displays has a lot to contend with.

Sadly, most point of sale manufacturers, even with the best trained production staff putting the right amount of adhesive on at the right temperature and making the bonds quickly, can still recount stories of costly field failures due to the use of poor quality hot melt.

The challenges facing POS manufacturers are almost unique as the materials being bonded are far from simple cardboard. The cardboard used is often coated or varnished and other component parts are made from a variety of plastics. A small change in any one material can affect adhesion and is often difficult to track with the multiple layers in the supply chain.

Given the sensitivity and the demands of this application it is vital that a high quality adhesive is used that will perform consistently from one year to another and, more importantly, have enough adhesion to more than cover the requirements so that it is as tolerant as possible to of all the variables involved.

Why consider Tecbond hot melts for point-of-sale assembly?
