Dec-O-Art Highlights the Science Behind Choosing the Right Adhesive for Every Application
Dec-O-Art, a provider of custom labels and dimensional branding solutions, is spotlighting the importance of adhesive selection as part of its ongoing commitment to delivering labeling solutions customers can trust, with quality at the center of every project.
Adhesive failure is a common but often overlooked problem for manufacturers. A label that fails to bond properly to its surface can peel, lift, or fall off entirely, leading to lost branding, wasted materials, and added cost. According to Dec-O-Art, the right adhesive is rarely a simple choice, and depends on the surface material, the surrounding environment, and how the product will be used.
“Adhesion performance depends on how well the adhesive matches the surface, the environment, and the demands placed on the product,” said Mike Grabarek, Project Engineering Manager at Dec-O-Art. “Our Project Engineers work with the Sales Team at the start of every project to evaluate those factors, so the recommendation is based on the application rather than assumption. When customers can test samples before production, they can be confident the label is the right fit for their product.
Customers have seen the value of that approach firsthand. “Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Dec-O-Art has helped us evaluate application requirements, provided samples for testing, and worked through adhesive options with a focus on long-term adhesion, durability, and overall product appearance,” said Josh Parks, Director, Engineering at MAKS Plastics. “That collaboration has allowed us to validate solutions internally and have confidence that the decals will continue to perform throughout the life of the product.”
To help manufacturers evaluate adhesive performance before committing to a full production run, Dec-O-Art offers material samples for testing and works directly with customers through its Sales Team. Samples can be requested at https://www.dec-o-art.com/request-samples/.
