Hot Melt Adhesive Systems for Bottling & Packaging
In the food and beverage industry, speed, hygiene, and reliability are non-negotiable.
Hot Melt Adhesive Applications in Bottling
Bottle Sealing
Sealing bottles requires adhesives that can withstand temperature changes, moisture, and handling throughout the supply chain. Hot melt adhesives provide:
• Secure, tamper-evident seals for bottles and caps
• Consistent performance on glass, PET, and HDPE bottles
• Heat- and cold-resistant bonds for safe storage and transport
Labelling & Sleeving
Labelling is crucial for both branding and compliance. Hot melt adhesive systems ensure labels remain intact and visually appealing:
• Precise application with minimal adhesive visibility
• Strong adhesion on curved bottle surfaces
• Compatibility with paper, plastic, and shrink-sleeve labels
Secondary Packaging for Bottling
Beyond the bottle, safe distribution depends on secure outer packaging. Hot melt adhesives play an essential role in:
• Case sealing and wrap-around cartons
• Multipack bonding for convenience packaging
• Pallet stabilisation for safe transport and storage
From bottle sealing to secondary packaging, hot melt adhesive systems ensure that every product is securely packaged and ready for distribution.
