Question

Can Your Packaging Products Be Glued?

Answer

It depends on the box, since each style is engineered to close a specific way. Some assemble with tabs and need no glue at all, while others arrive pre-glued or offer a side-glue option. Here is how the main packaging types behave.

ProductHow it assembles
Cube Boxes and Golf Ball BoxesSturdy edge-lock tabs hold them securely, no glue needed
Pillow BoxesEdge-lock tabs on all quantities, plus a side-glue option at 250 or more
Roll End Tuck Top BoxesSelf-tuck design, no glue or tape required
Sales Presentation BoxesGlued on one side with a tuck-and-tongue bottom and optional velcro dot on the top flap
Wine BoxesGlued on one side with double-sided tape at the base to hold a bottle's weight

If you are gluing a package yourself or through a bindery, remember that glue will not adhere to UV coating or inked areas. Choose the Spot UV coating option and mark NO UV on any spot that needs to be glued. For extra reinforcement and branding, 4OVER4.COM Roll Labels or Stickers work well too.
