CORRUGATE LAP JOINT ADHESIVES THAT
KEEP YOUR LINE RUNNING

Pop-opens, crooked flaps, and squeeze-out stall production. That lost time turns into scrapped boxes, extra labor, and missed delivery windows.

We help box plants run at full speed without glue-related slowdowns.

Our lap joint adhesives are built for production reliability. They grab fast, set clean, and run consistently from batch to batch. Each batch is meticulously tested and ISO-certified, so crews spend less time wiping glue or clearing jams. And when it’s time to trial, our rep is on-site to help dial performance.

Switch adhesives once. Run better every shift.

Corrugate Lap Joint Adhesive Issues

FORMULATED TO REMEDY ANY ADHESIVE ISSUE

Pop-opens, skewed boxes, and squeeze-out cost more than time. They create waste, rework, and quality issues. Our lap joint adhesives are built to prevent them.

Pop Opens

Boxes that separate after compression create rejects and rework. Our adhesives deliver strong wet tack and bond through coatings to keep every joint sealed.

Skewing

Crooked boxes jam customer equipment and damage trust. Our formulas balance open time and tack to keep boxes square, straight, and aligned on the belt.

Squeeze-Out

Glue on the outside of the joint leads to cleanup and scrap. We control viscosity from batch to batch so the glue stays where it’s applied.

Corrugate Lap Joint Substrates

BONDS THAT HOLD ACROSS EVERY LINER AND BOARD

Whether you’re gluing standard kraft or a coated liner, we build adhesives that bond reliably and cleanly at speed.

BONDS THAT HOLD <span>ACROSS EVERY LINER AND BOARD</span>

Kraft Linerboard

Our adhesives grab fast and hold strong on uncoated kraft, keeping boxes sealed through compression with no warping, drift, or pop-open failures.

Coated or Treated Board

We formulate for low-dyne surfaces, waxed liners, and aqueous coatings. You get clean bonds without bleed-through, fiber tear, or the need to crank up pressure.

BUILT TO RUN ON YOUR LINE
Corrugate Lap Joint Dispensing Types

BUILT TO RUN ON YOUR LINE

Whether you run legacy contact wheels or upgraded non-contact systems, our adhesives are designed to machine cleanly, bond fast, and reduce operator headaches.

Contact Extrusion

Still common in box plants, contact systems apply a bead that bonds reliably when flaps meet. Our adhesives flow clean and cut off without stringing.

Non-Contact Extrusion

Reduces adhesive waste and maintenance by eliminating nozzle drag. Our adhesives dispense cleanly and consistently, helping you run longer with fewer stoppages.

FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your questions matter. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about corrugate lap joint adhesives.

Have more questions?
Get in Touch

Can you match or improve my current adhesive?

Yes. Our lab can reverse-engineer your current glue and recommend a proven match or build a custom formulation that improves bonding, cleanup, or line speed.

Will it work on coated board?

Absolutely. We formulate for low-dyne, waxed, and aqueous-coated liners so you get clean, reliable bonds without overapplying or turning up pressure.

What is the shelf life of your corrugate adhesives?

Six months from the ship date when stored between 60°F and 90°F. All batches are filtered tight and date-labeled for easy rotation.

Can you add UV or color to a product?

Yes. Most grades include UV for detection. We can also add visible color to help crews verify placement during setup or inspection.

What size of containers can I order?

Available in 5-gallon pails, 30-gallon drums, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, or 40,000-pound bulk tanker. We match packaging to your volume and system.

What is your standard sample size?

You’ll receive a 5-gallon pail at no cost. It’s the same product used in production so you can trial it under real conditions.

How fast can we get product?

Most lap joint adhesives ship next day. We keep common grades in stock and ready to move from our ISO-certified Indiana facility.

Can you support us during trial and startup?

Yes. Our rep runs the trial with you, goes on-site, and works with your crew until the bond is dialed. No handoff, no guesswork.
