Sustainable Packaging Glues

Glues for Smarter Packaging

The packaging industry is constantly evolving, demanding advanced solutions to help companies stand out. At LD Davis, we provide tailored glue and adhesive solutions for all types of packaging, from rigid boxes to food packaging. Each formula ensures consistent, high-performance results matched to your specific needs.

Adhesive Solutions for Packaging

Sustainable packaging benefits both the environment and your business. By using non-toxic, recyclable adhesives, you reduce waste, conserve resources, and meet growing consumer demands for greener practices. The right glue ensures your entire package is truly recyclable.

Gelatin-Based Packaging Glue

Gelatin-based glues, also known as protein glues, offer a classic, natural solution for achieving strong, fully recyclable bonds in rigid boxes and other premium applications. These eco-friendly adhesives solidify at ambient temperatures, allowing the bonded materials to be easily recycled, supporting a circular economy.

Why Choose Gelatin Glue for Laminating?

Fully Recyclable & Biodegradable: Contributes to a greener waste stream.
Superior Bond Strength: Ideal for demanding applications.
Excellent for Laminating: Perfect for laminating various wrap materials to chipboard.
Common Uses: Wrapped boards, folded boards, liners, and slipcases.

Liquid Packaging Glue

Our liquid glues, often referred to as white glues, are water-based formulas prized for their versatility, ease of use, and environmental benefits. They are non-toxic, safe to handle, and require no heating, simplifying your production process. Cleanup is also effortless with just water.
