*Remoist glue adhesion appears to perform better on coated paper compared to uncoated paper – the glue sits more ‘on top’ of the coating – therefore coated paper is recommended.
Remoistenable glue does not adhere properly to printed surfaces. Remoist glue areas need to be free of ink and must be free from varnishes, laminates and/or other coatings. The corresponding area that the strip will adhere to must also be free of ink and coatings.
We use hot melt extruded glue – it is NOT laser printer compatible.
