Packaging, Sealing & Box and Carton Manufacturing
Adhesive performance at the final stages of production can determine whether the package—and everything inside it—reaches the customer as intended.

Packaging adhesives must set quickly, bond consistently, run cleanly, and perform across changing board, coatings, temperatures, production speeds, and distribution conditions.
We support end-of-line packaging operations, folding carton manufacturers, and corrugated box plants with hot melt and water-based adhesive solutions, application equipment, and technical guidance. Whether you know exactly what product you need or simply know the current process is not performing properly, we begin by listening and understanding the complete application.
More Than an Adhesive Recommendation
Sometimes the answer is a different adhesive. Sometimes the real issue involves temperature, pattern, compression, nozzle condition, tank maintenance, line speed, or another part of the application process.
Because we support both adhesives and application equipment, we can look beyond the product and help identify the factors affecting performance. When adhesive, equipment, and engineering support must work together, our teams can coordinate the solution rather than asking the customer to manage several disconnected suppliers.
Start with the Packaging Process
Tell us what you are packaging, the materials being bonded, the adhesive and equipment currently in use, and what you would like to improve. We will work to understand the application before recommending the next step.

Why Packaging Operations Contact HAR
Cases or cartons are opening during handling, storage, or shipment.
Hot melt is stringing, charring, dripping, or creating excessive cleanup.
Adhesive equipment is unreliable or contributing to unplanned downtime.
Increased line speeds require faster set and more consistent compression.
New board, coatings, recycled content, or operating temperatures are affecting bond performance.
The current adhesive or equipment supplier is not responding quickly enough when production is at risk.
