Use actual paper and box structure
Color Box Adhesive
Color box adhesive selection should start from paper surface, box structure, application method, open time, initial grab, odor and final bonding test.
Application requirements
What the adhesive route needs to handle
Paper and film surface confirmationManual or machine application routeOpen time and drying speedOdor and document requirement checks

Common failure problems
- Poor bond on laminated paper
- Corner rebound
- Slow grab
- Machine fouling
- Odor concern
Selection logic
Start with the use case, then narrow the route by substrate, process window and failure mode.

FAQ
Why is paper surface information needed before sampling?
Coated paper, laminated paper, UV varnish and metallic card can wet and bond differently, so the same adhesive may not behave the same way.
