At HAR Adhesive Technologies, we’re proud to partner with industry leaders like ITW Dynatec, whose innovative hot melt adhesive equipment continues to transform production lines across the country. A recent visit to Blackstone Brewery in Nashville, Tennessee, gave us a chance to see one of their best-selling systems in action—the Dynamini™ hot melt adhesive supply unit—and the results were as smooth as their signature craft brews.

When it comes to sealing cartons, cases, and boxes, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Today’s packaging world is as diverse as the products it protects, with thousands of variations in board types, coatings, structures, and environmental demands. From corrugated fiberboard to laminated paperboard, chipboard to custom die-cut trays—each material and shape brings its own challenges when it comes to forming and sealing.

When it comes to applying adhesive in a production environment, one of the most important decisions you’ll face is whether to stick with manual methods or invest in an automated or semi-automated system.

Today’s hot melt adhesives are smarter, stronger, and more versatile than ever before. With continuous innovation in chemistry, application methods, and equipment technology, hot melt adhesives have expanded their role in everything from packaging and product assembly to construction and non-wovens.

In adhesive applications, "stitching"—the process of applying adhesive in intermittent dots or short bursts instead of a continuous bead—is a proven way to cut down on adhesive usage and reduce costs. It's a valuable strategy in many industries, especially when product strength and performance aren’t compromised.

In today’s competitive building materials market, adhesives are more than just an accessory—they’re critical components in producing durable, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing doors and windows. At HAR Adhesive Technologies, we understand the complexity of modern manufacturing processes and provide a full spectrum of adhesive products designed to deliver strength, flexibility, and reliability across a wide range of substrates.
