ADHESIVES FOR LEAFLETS THAT HOLD THROUGH THE FOLDS AND RELEASE WITHOUT DAMAGE

Running inserts shouldn’t mean fighting pop opens, torn folds, or clogged lines. Yet, it happens more often than you’d expect, and it usually traces back to adhesives that can’t find the right balance between tack and release.

That’s why Capital’s adhesives are engineered for control and consistency. Each formula grips firmly through folding, then releases cleanly when the leaflet is opened. That balance keeps every run steady and every insert intact.

Choose from natural rubber latex, resin-based, or fugitive hot melt chemistries—all designed to run clean on electric and pneumatic systems, stay stable through long shifts, and ship next day from our ISO–certified facility.

With every batch tested and traceable, your inserts and mailers hold strong, and your lines keep moving.

COMMON INSERT ADHESIVE ISSUES

FORMULATED TO REMEDY
ANY ADHESIVE ISSUE

When adhesives cause problems, operators see it first—on the line, in pop opens, or fiber tear. Capital Adhesives’ formulas fix the root causes, so you get higher output, and fewer slowdowns.

Pop Opens

Inserts with multiple folds create pressure on the bond, causing it to fail. Our adhesives deliver strong tack that holds tight under folding stress.

Clogged Nozzles or Lines

Adhesive buildup leads to downtime for cleaning. Our clean-machining products flow smoothly through equipment without balling up or jamming.

Excessive Paper Tearing

Leaflets rip when opened, damaging text and making them unusable. Our formulations balance tack and release so the bond holds yet separates cleanly.
