The attachment of straws and spouts to containers of various shapes and sizes is one of the packaging industry’s most challenging applications. Packagers must make the attachments stick without marring the container’s appearance with adhesive strings and overflow. Container surface material, chilled distribution channels, and use of various inks and printing methods also need to be considered for proper straw and spout adhesion.

For straw and spout attachment, packagers depend on Nordson SolidBlue™ guns and ProBlue® melters to:

•  Accurately apply adhesive at high speeds
  
  
•  Accommodate a wide variety of container sizes & line speeds
  
  
•  Virtually eliminate stringing with consistent adhesive volume
  
  
•  Reduce adhesive waste with precision deposition
