Hot Melt Adhesive Sealing Delivers Superior Cost Advantages and Operational Efficiencies Compared to Tape Sealing



Thursday, November 16, 2000

DULUTH, Georgia – November 15, 2000 – A new brochure entitled, “Nordson Closes the Case on Hot Melt Adhesive Sealing,” released by Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq – NDSN) highlights the long-term cost advantages, operational efficiencies and enhanced product quality that hot melt adhesive sealing can bring to your operation compared to tape sealing.

Delivering products to market often requires cases to withstand extreme temperatures, rigid transportation conditions and potential tampering. Failure to meet these challenges could result in damaged products and increased costs. Sealing with hot melt adhesive provides packages with superior structural integrity, seal quality and tamper-evidence, helping to ensure products reach their destination intact.

Nordson hot melt adhesive systems also deliver superior cost savings. Nordson hot melt systems can easily accommodate an increase in line speeds (sealing 40 cases a minute is as easy as sealing just five cases a minute) without additional equipment and with fewer personnel. Nordson system design innovations simplify operations and Nordson quality components minimize maintenance issues, maximizing productivity. -more-
