Glues for Clean, Efficient Bonding

Elevate your packaging, print, and display manufacturing with LD Davis laminating adhesives. Our gelatin-based and liquid glues are engineered for high-speed production, clean machining, and excellent lay-flat performance, ensuring efficient and reliable bonds for everything from luxury packaging to hardcover books.

Gelatin Glues For Laminating

Our gelatin-based glues are a popular choice for laminating applications that require a strong, eco-friendly bond with excellent flexibility and machinability. They’re commonly used in rigid box manufacturing, case making, and sample board production.
These glues are compatible with leading laminating machines, including Emmeci, Crathern, Perondi Group, Potdevin Machine Co., Peroni Ruggero, Sheridan, and others.

Why Choose Gelatin Glue for Laminating?

Fast setting for high-speed operations.
Reworkable with heat.
Derived from natural, biodegradable materials.
Clean machining and water-soluble cleanup.

Liquid Glues for Laminating

Liquid glues, including dextrin and resin-based adhesives, are another effective option for laminating. They offer excellent compatibility and lay-flat characteristics, ideal for paper-to-board applications in folding cartons and promotional displays.
Because liquid glues dry through water evaporation, their setting time may be longer than that of protein-based glues, depending on environmental conditions.

Why Choose Liquid Glues for Laminating?

Strong adhesion to porous materials.
Longer open times for large-format laminates.
Excellent resistance to heat, grease, and moisture.
