Avery Glue

Avery® glue sticks are tube adhesive products that create a permanent bond for many craft projects. Glue sticks help make the bonding process less messy whether for children in school, craft time at home, or grown-up scrapbooking. Look to Staples® to find many types of glue products, including super glue, school glue, and even glue dots.

Uses for Avery Glue Sticks
Adhesive sticks are solid glues designed to create permanent bonds on common craft materials, especially paper products. Their ingredients include water, adhesive, and some type of polymer that solidifies the glue once it dries. Use the sticks for adhering paper, cardboard, and even fabric without the need for harsh chemical adhesives. Seal lots of envelopes quickly, thanks to the easy-to-use tube with a twist bottom. No need to lick envelope flaps.

Avery also has the sticks in fun, bright shades that children and crafters can use to make colorful art without using messy paints or markers. The product dries and the color remains behind.

Benefits of Avery Glue Sticks
There are several benefits to using adhesive sticks over other types of products, such as school glue, super glue, or craft glue. Avery sticks are solid and glide over material like lip balm, leaving behind a thick swath of adhesive instead of a runny, sticky substance. The tube allows a user to treat the stick like a crayon and keeps fingers clean from messes and prevents accidentally gluing fingers together. Avery adhesives are also washable and easily remove from clothing with a little bit of soap and water. The disappearing color goes from purple to clear, so it’s easy to see where the glue goes, but it becomes nearly invisible when dry.

Can You Use Avery Glue on Photos?
Precious photographs are fragile things that can fade over time. The last thing any scrapbook maker wants is to add something to the photographs that would do any more harm. For this purpose, Avery sticks are safe on pictures. They are acid-free, which means the chemicals in the product won’t impact, degrade, or discolor the photo paper or ink. Glue sticks are archival-quality so the adhesive lasts for many years with proper storage. But users can safely remove it without harming the pictures if necessary.

Are Avery Glue Sticks Nontoxic?
This brand of adhesive sticks is nontoxic and safe for users of all ages. The glue is an ASTM-approved product. ASTM International is an association that creates standards to guarantee there are only safe chemicals in products. Avery adhesives also have approval from the Art and Creative Materials Institute. It is a certified product tested by medical experts who guarantee its nontoxic makeup.

Do Avery Glue Sticks Come in Different Sizes?
The glue sticks come in two sizes. The small tubes that are less than an ounce fit perfectly in little hands just like crayons or markers. The larger tubes, a little more than an ounce allow users to spread more adhesive over larger areas for quick bonding on bigger projects. Add Avery glue to your next order of office supplies or school supplies.
