Amcor today introduced ACT2100 heat seal coating for medical grade DuPont Tyvek2 and paper packaging applications.

The material provides adhesion in a cool, damp environment and can be washed off again at a later stage without leaving any residue.

The global packaging adhesives market is projected to register a CAGR of over 5 percent in terms of value during the forecast period 2017–2026. The first five-year cumulative revenue is projected to be U.S. $40,237.5 Mn, which is expected to increase over second five years.

Avery Dennison creates a step change with its High Solvent Resistance Adhesives, MR980R and UVR155, from the Select Solutions portfolio. These adhesives address the main problem with wet-wipe closures: the vulnerability of the adhesive closure to the solvents in the wet wipes themselves.

Graco Advanced Fluid Dispense (AFD), a world leader in fluid handling products and systems, announces the new InvisiPac® Feed System, an ideal solution for overcoming problems associated with overall adhesive feed reliability and reducing the stickiness and glue clumping that can result in downtime and reduced production. 

It’s no surprise that labels today are designed to do more than just stick around and inform buyers of what’s inside. They are designed to offer more opportunity for engagement, design elements, and also practical traits like light-blocking and water-resistant materials.

Adhesives and tapes are used in nearly everything that is packaged, from snack bars to baby wipes, and are used in labeling, reseal tabs and multipacking.
