Straw Attachment

Straw attachment in beverage packaging requires adhesives that provide strong initial tack, reliable bonding, and precise application. The wide variety of straw designs and foil surfaces demands adhesives that are transparent for a clean finish while ensuring secure attachment. High mechanical stress during packaging, transport, and consumer handling requires bonds that are both durable and flexible.

Modern adhesives for straw attachment are formulated to withstand heat, cold, and moisture, maintaining performance throughout hot-filling and subsequent cooling processes. Food contact compliance is essential, and polyolefin-based hot melts or reactive hot melts are widely used to provide fast-setting, high-adhesion solutions that optimize production efficiency while maintaining the appearance and functionality of the beverage carton.

Key performance characteristics:

Excellent pot stability for long, uninterrupted production runs

Very low odor, safe and suitable for food-related packaging

Fast setting to ensure clean, accurate straw placement

Consistent adhesion even on coated and laminated packaging surfaces
