Industrial Solutions
Packaging, Paper, Labelling & Converting
Industrial adhesive technologies for packaging manufacture, container labelling, paper and board converting, litho lamination, tube and core winding, bookbinding and related production processes.
Packaging and converting operations involve varied paper and board constructions, coatings, printing processes, production equipment and line speeds. Genkem assesses the actual materials, application method, manufacturing conditions and finished-product requirements before recommending a suitable adhesive system.
Adhesive Solutions Across Packaging & Paper Production
Genkem supports packaging manufacturers, folding-carton and corrugated-case producers, paper and board converters, container-labelling operations, beverage and general-product packers, tube and core manufacturers, litho laminators, envelope manufacturers, bookbinders, stationery producers and automated packaging facilities.
Packaging, Carton Sealing & Case Closing
Adhesive technologies for folding-carton manufacture, side-seam bonding, carton sealing, case closing, box assembly, tray erection, corrugated packaging, retail-ready packaging and related end-of-line processes.
Container Labelling
Cold- and hot-applied adhesive technologies for paper labels, glass bottles and jars, selected plastic and industrial containers, body, shoulder, neck, wrap-around and patch-labelling applications.
Paper, Board & Litho Lamination
Cold- and hot-applied adhesive technologies for paper labels, glass bottles and jars, selected plastic and industrial containers, body, shoulder, neck, wrap-around and patch-labelling applications.
Tube, Core & Envelope Manufacture
Adhesive technologies for spiral- and parallel-wound tubes, industrial and packaging cores, textile and film cores, envelope side seams, bottom flaps, window patching and mechanised stationery production.
Bookbinding & Print Finishing
Solutions for book-spine bonding, side gluing, cover and end-sheet attachment, casing, mulling, pad manufacture, notebook assembly and selected manual or automated print-finishing processes.

Paper and board materials can differ in absorbency, recycled content, surface treatment, coatings, ink or varnish coverage and surface energy. Production speed, application equipment, compression time, storage conditions and exposure to heat, cold, moisture or condensation can also influence adhesive performance. New or unfamiliar materials and processes should therefore be assessed before full-scale production.
Review
Floor-covering type, backing, substrate, installation area and expected service conditions are established.
Assess
Substrate condition, moisture, temperature, application method and flooring-manufacturer requirements are assessed.
Select
Genkem identifies the most appropriate preparation and adhesive technology for the installation.
Validate
New, unusual or high-risk combinations may be tested before full installation.
Recommend
The appropriate product, preparation system and application guidance are confirmed.
