The Gluefast History:

From Labeler to International Glue and Adhesives Manufacturer Our original pioneering glue labeler and envelope moistener from 1939 are still active products in our expansive line of adhesives, glues, and adhesive equipment. By the 1950’s, Gluefast was manufacturing glues as well as adhesives and carrying more than one hundred products for adhesive packaging, palletizing, and carton sealing. In 1986, Gluefast joined the Packaging Machinery Manufacturer’s Institute (PMMI) which today includes more than five hundred U.S. and Canadian manufacturers of packaging equipment.

In 1992, we introduced the SKID-LOCK® UNITIZING SYSTEM, a simple and cost-effective way to significantly reduce waste product used in packaging. This palletizing adhesive process has led to an increased number of exports and distributor contacts. Today we export SKID-LOCK®, as well as glue labelers, to every continent. In 1998, Gluefast introduced GLUE SPOTS, a unique removable adhesive dots system, which consists of pressure sensitive hot melt adhesives the size of a dime extruded onto a silicone release liner. By 2001, Gluefast changed this product's format and renamed it Gluefast DUOS. In 2005, Gluefast became a distributor for the Glue Dots® product line.

On July 27, 1998, we moved our factory and offices from Carlstadt in northern New Jersey fifty miles south of the town of Neptune. Gluefast’s current facility is 17,000 square feet and provides ample space for continued growth and expansion

In November 1998, Gluefast introduced the MELTCATOR, our first hot melt applicator in the form of roll coater. In 2002, Gluefast released the GLUE RITER™, a pen-shaped, water-based adhesive applicator. In September 2004, Gluefast introduced the SOLO GLUE RITER®, the only glue applicator bottle featuring precision control. In May 2005, Gluefast introduced the CRAQUELURE TEXTURE COATING for posters and prints. The faux finish acrylic product applies a layer that makes posters appear hand painted.

Since 1939, Gluefast has been proud to serve a limitless number of industries, from packaging to converting to graphics. Gluefast has answers to your adhesive, gluing, mounting, labeling.
