USPS test involves applying an unidentified level of adhesive (we use 1
mil) to face stock then laminated to clean stainless steel and allowed to sit for 10
minutes. A 180 degree peel is then measured with a minimum acceptable level of 8 oz/inch
required with destruct bonds being preferred

HOT MELT GREAT FOR REPLACING MANUAL GLUING
Mail distribution houses produce a mailer that includes credit cards.
Pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the back of the credit card to secure it to the
mailer. The Dynamini gear pump system allows precise delivery of a specific amount of
glue. Easier for the operator. It is cleaner, safer and less expensive than manual gluing.
Less adhesive is used and faster than manual gluing. And there is no setup time using Hot
Melt Adhesive.It is also upgradeable-can be converted to an automatic operation with
little additional cost. Contact the Packaging Hot Line at 1-800-323-5158
