Glue sticks are used for spot adhesion, assembly, or inner packaging, while packing tape is typically used to seal outer cartons. Both serve different roles depending on your packing setup.
While the cardboard they’re applied to may be recyclable, most standard tape and glue types are not. However, they are suitable for use with recyclable outer packaging materials.
Yes. Tape and glue are often used in combination, depending on the packing requirements. For example, hot melt glue sticks might be used to secure inner components or inserts inside a box, while packing tape is applied externally to seal the carton. This approach is common in eCommerce, gift sets, or fragile product packing where items need both internal stability and outer protection.
Not always. Dispensers vary by tape width, adhesive type, and application method. If you're unsure which products work together, we can help match the right tools to your setup.
Efficient packing depends not only on the materials used, but also on the tools that apply them effectively. We stock a range of tape dispensers and glue guns that are compatible with our tapes and adhesives, helping maintain consistency across different packing setups.
Whether you’re equipping a fulfilment bench, setting up a new dispatch area, or standardising tools across your operation, these systems are chosen for ease of use and consisstent reliability. For advice on compatible formats or full packing setups, please get in touch.
