From wedding announcements and Christmas greetings to bills and direct mail, paper communication is still delivering to consumers around the globe. The joy of receiving these greetings is still enjoyed by consumers. To deliver in the new paradigm, envelope manufacturers are faced with increasing their productivity and efficiency.
Henkel works with manufacturers to understand the current trends and develop adhesives to perform in any situation that our customers may encounter. Since 1923, Henkel has made adhesives for envelopes. We employ a large group of technical resources to evaluate new raw materials and new manufacturing processes to drive out costs and bring innovation to the envelope market. Our products support
