Inline Gluing & Insertion

Overview: Binding paper together with an adhesive and inserting printed material into the project
What is Inline Gluing & Insertion?
Inline gluing can keep any project intact and in place, while insertion can add an additional paper to get the point across. At Phillips, we offer a range of inline gluing systems to get the job done, including hot, cold, remoistable, and removable/fugitive glue. In addition, we can fold and glue crash bottom, lock bottom, tuck flap boxes, pocket folders, automated formed capacity gluing, sleeves, and pop-ups to make any project ideas limitless.
To help streamline the creation process, Phillips offers the ability to automatically insert inline business/credit cards, PI’s, CDs/DVDs, magnets, etc. during the gluing process.
