Key points of the article
- The hot melt glues offer reliable, versatile and clean glues for packaging and labeling
- Beardow Adams is a benchmark in the hot melt adhesives for the packaging industry
- The range BAMFutura® guarantees high strength, thermal stability and food contact approvals
- Glues adapt to all kinds of surfaces, from recycled cardboard to plastic and coated materials
- Mascherpa presents these solutions at IPACK-IMA, Hall 3, Stand C116, along with many other innovations in the field of hot melt adhesives
In the field of packaging and labeling, hot-melt glues, also called hot melt adhesives, are now an established standard due to their efficiency and reliability.
Unlike solvent- or water-based adhesives, the hot melt glue solidifies quickly on contact with surfaces, creating a strong and durable bond. This results in faster production speed, less waste and a cleaner process.
Whether for food boxes, pharmaceutical cases, cosmetic labels or e-commerce packaging, the hot melt glues for packaging guarantee optimal results, reducing downtime and gluing problems.

Hot melt adhesives are a strategic choice for every surface and industry
The capacity of the hot melt adhesives to adhere to multiple surfaces is one of the reasons for their success. From coated paperboard packaging to plastic materials, from metalized films to laminated surfaces, bonding is always fast, durable and reliable.
In industries such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, logistics e health, the use of hot-melt adhesives makes it possible to ensure product integrity, tamper resistance and security throughout the supply chain.
Labeling also finds new solutions thanks to hot melts
In labeling, the hot melt adhesives are critical for high-speed applications and challenging materials. Controlled distribution through technologies of hot melt coating avoids smudging, ensures immediate set and improves the final aesthetics of the product.
Perfect for curved surfaces, plastic bottles or glass bottles, these adhesives ensure high performance in even the most demanding industries.
FAQ
What does hot melt mean?
“Hot melt” refers to a type of adhesive that is applied by heat: it is in solid form, melts with heat and solidifies quickly once cooled, providing fast and strong bonding.
What is a hot melt adhesive?
- A hot melt adhesive is a hot melt glue that, when heated, becomes fluid and is easily applied to a variety of surfaces, creating strong and durable bonds that are ideal for packaging, labeling and multiple industries.
How to apply hot melt adhesive for packaging?
- It is heated in special applicators, then dispensed in liquid form onto the surfaces to be bonded. Solidifying rapidly upon cooling, it ensures precise, clean and high-strength bonding.
What is meant by hot melt glue?
- Hot melt adhesive is a solid-based adhesive that melts with heat to be applied, then cools, creating a strong bond. It is synonymous with hot melt adhesive, widely used for its efficiency and versatility.
