Glue Dots® Provide Fast Relief for Carma Labs

When Carma Labs experienced problems packaging their lip care products in multi-packs, they knew adhesives were the solution. But because they needed them quickly and in large quantities to fill orders from mass retailers, they needed a custom solution from Glue Dots International.

The Problem Shrink Wrap Causes Irritation Carma Labs was contracted by a mega-wholesale club to supply multi-packs of their Carmex® lip care products in various flavors and packaging configurations. According to Don Finney, production manager at Carma Labs, they encountered problems during the packaging operation, which is done primarily by hand.

“The products were not staying straight during shrink- wrapping,”said Finney.“We could have applied an adhesive by hand to the backer cards to hold them in place, but we needed

something faster.” Finney needed an automated solution to stay ahead of the looming deadlines from the wholesale club. Space limitations were also an issue, so the automated solution had to be able to integrate into a very tight space.
