Glue

Adhesive products are versatile items for homes, offices and industrial use. Whether you need to seal a stack of envelopes or are assembling a model airplane, there's glue to suit every purpose. Staples carries a broad selection of glue sticks, putties, adhesive craft dots and more from popular brands like Elmer's, Loctite, Avery and Scotch.

General-Purpose Glue Work for a Variety of Needs
For basic office use, all-purpose glue sticks are a smart choice. Non-toxic and acid-free, these fixatives adhere permanently to a range of paper types without leaving a mess. Gel glues are effective for use on non-porous surfaces like metal, glass and ceramics and dry more quickly than standard glue. Envelope moisturizers with adhesive ingredients are a time saver for mailing batches of invoices and promotional materials. Many rubber cement formulas resist paper wrinkling and curling and are also photo safe. Permanent tape dispensers help to speed up cutting and pasting jobs for photocopying.

Glue Sticks and Other Classroom-Friendly Products
School glues are formulated for safe use by children and teachers alike. A no-run washable glue won't drip off a page and is easy to clean off skin and fabric. When it's time for art projects, purple glue sticks help kids see where they've applied it before it dries clear. Glitter glue is a fun product that adds a bit of colorful glitz to handmade cards and name plates. Natural options are made with plant-based materials and are just as safe to use as regular adhesive products. Art paste is ideal for paper crafts and is free of gluten and dairy ingredients just in case young children attempt to eat it.

Craft Glues for a Range of Hobbies and Household Projects
Tackling hobby and craft projects are simple with a variety of art fixatives. Spray adhesive offers repositionable flexibility while creating collages or event posters on a broad range of surfaces. Acid and lignin-free glue dots work well for scrapbook projects and won't damage photos and other important documents. Hot glue guns are ideal for bonding materials like wood, leather and ceramics, and mosaic adhesive helps to create durable and attractive tile work designs. Cyanoacrylate adhesives provide a super-strong bond that's perfect for jewelry and model-building projects. Mounting putties and adhesive mounting strips let you hang artwork on nearly any surface without damaging a wall or the display piece. Fabric-safe glues can make sewing projects go more smoothly as items stay in their intended place.

Industrial-Strength Options Offer Maximum Adhesion
When it comes to the toughest of applications, industrial-strength glue is the product of choice. Two-part epoxy glues form a tight bond on rigid surfaces, filling in gaps as needed and provide excellent water resistance. Gasket-making sealants are designed for automotive repair work and can easily withstand extreme conditions. Contact adhesive permanently holds plastic laminates, glass, wood, cloth and other materials. Sealing and palletizing products and industrial glue guns help to pack and secure shipping cartons for safe transport.
