Below is a preview of several of the products and innovations you will have the opportunity to explore at H.B. Fuller Booth 9015:

E-commerce Solutions

H.B. Fuller’s innovative and sustainable e-commerce solutions are tamper-evident, enable easy opening and returns, and minimize packaging materials ─ offering an enhanced customer experience with less transit and protective packaging.

• Swift® Melt PM7000 delivers excellent bond strength that ensures package integrity throughout the supply chain and across a wide temperature range.
• Open Sesame® Fiber-Based Tear Tapes enhance the “unboxing experience” by eliminating the need for box-cutting tools; the Tapes are also easily separated during the Old Corrugated Container (OCC) repulping process.
• Flextra® flexible packaging adhesives reduce packaging waste, resist tears and punctures, and help preserve perishables through the control of moisture, air and light.
• FullVision®, the company’s proprietary software that analyzes end-of-line packaging data to improve product quality and plant productivity, ensures each box uses the right amount of adhesive.

Sustainable Packaging Solutions

H.B. Fuller will also showcase a wide range of technologies made with renewable and biobased materials, enabling customers to improve their products and processes through solutions that help them achieve their sustainability goals:

• Reduce carbon footprint throughout the supply chain by lowering the packaging weight with reinforcement solutions, decreasing stretch wrap usage, minimizing packaging-to-product ratio and reducing food waste
• Reuse corrugated boxes with help from Open-Sesame® tape technology. This product supports shipper-to-display box designs — two functions in one sustainable package.
• Recycle packaging with a new caustic washable adhesive solution to bond HDPE or paper label to PET packages
• Renew materials with bio-based flexible packaging, adhesives that support biodegradable flexible packaging, reinforcement tapes for repulpable packaging, and hot melt adhesives that contain bio-products
• Return bottles made with Earthic™ washable water-based adhesives and easy returnable packaging design with Close Sesame™ system
