Keep Drug Facts and other Vital Information Visible and Easy to Read with Glue Dots® for Pharmaceutical Packaging

Providing drug information prescription drug bottles and pharmaceutical packaging is not only required, it can be life saving. Ensure that people can clearly read pharmaceutical labels containing drug information, expiration dates, and warning labels, by using Glue Dots®, an adhesive that bonds quickly and firmly and leaves no residue behind, which could obstruct the reading of critical drug information.

The ease, strength, and clean appearance of Glue Dots® have made them a popular choice for pharmaceutical companies in attaching outsert labels on prescription drug bottles and in other packaging of material for pharmaceutical products.

Use in Glue Dots® in Pharmaceutical Packaging to:

• Attach outserts to bottle.
• Keep drug information visible and easily read.
• Provide a pull-back label for additional drug facts or product usage.

The Advantage of Using Glue Dots®
• Hold firm
• Strengths vary from temporary to permanent hold.
• Leaves labels flat and smooth, so it won’t interfere with important drug information.

Glue Dots® are the Safe Choice for Pharmaceutical Packaging
As pressure sensitive adhesives, Glue Dots® are safer and much easier to use than hot melt glues or industrial adhesives. Glue Dots® also have many uses, making them one of the most versatile adhesives. They also outperform other adhesives because they go on clean and leave no messy spotting or residue behind in contrast to many hot melt glues. FDA approved for indirect contact with food (indirect food contact formula available on special order), Glue Dots® are non-toxic and safe to use around prescription drugs. Keep your drug packaging label easy to read, and trust it will hold firm with Glue Dots®.

No other adhesive can match the versatility and performance of Glue Dots ®. Perhaps that’s why so many different industries use the adhesive regularly like in Promotional Packaging and Bundling, Crafts, Scrapbooking, Greeting Cards, and card making Printing and Bindery, Pharmaceutical Packaging, and Direct Mail companies and businesses. Glue Dots ® are pressure sensitive adhesives, which makes them much safer and cleaner than hot melt glues. With no messy residue or stickiness, common in some industrial adhesives and double-sided tapes (some surfaces may stain so testing is recommended), Glue Dots ®, also known as booger or fugitive glue, are ideal for attaching embellishments or tiny details. Glue Dots ® are packaged onto a 1-inch wide silicone paper release liner, wound into a roll, and placed inside a dispenser box, and can be applied by touching the object to the Glue Dot ® or by using the Dot Shot Pro to apply the dot to the item. As the largest stocking distributor of Glue Dots ® on the East Coast, Gluefast offers the dots of glue in four different tack strengths including low, medium, high, or super high. They are also available in different thicknesses, known as profiles, which come in low (1/64th inch thick; the standard), medium (1/16th inch thick), and high (1/8th inch thick).
