It is designed for fast and easy changeovers to accommodate packing of a wide range of packaging formats and sizes. Capital Adhesive will present its range of cold and hot melt adhesives, highlighting its products for optimal performance with the Leary gluing and detection system on the Signature Folder Gluer line.
