Xyron Announces New Products to be released at Summer CHA

Xyron is pleased to announce the expansion of the patented adhesive line of products. The new products are quality solutions of Double-Sided High Tack Tape and High Tack Adhesive Dots. Both are no mess alternatives to glue.

New Xyron High Tack Adhesive Dots 
Xyron’s New Adhesive Dots are made with premium, strong hold adhesive. This tough, long lasting resilient adhesive is designed for ease of application and handling. The specially designed disposable dispenser aids in application while protecting the roll from damage. Use these when you just need a “dot” of glue for craft, school and home repair projects. It works well on surfaces such as paper, plastic, wood, metal and foam for framing, mounting photographs, artwork, scrapbook pages and documents. Xyron Adhesive Dots holds 300 dots of either 3/16 or 3/8 inch wide. It is acid free, photo safe and the dispenser is made from recycled material.

New Xyron Double-Sided High Tack Tape Xyron’s New Double-Sided High Tack Tape is as strong as red liner tape, infamous for holding anything into place. It works well on heavy cardstock, paper arts, card making and much more. It can be torn easily and comes in a disposable dispenser. This unique package design not only protects the tape’s integrity but also aids in clean application. Use Xyron High Tack Double-Sided Tape when you need the strongest hold with the least amount of fuss. It is sold in two different sizes that are acid free and photo safe. The compact dispenser holds 29 feet of ¼ inch or ½ inch tape.

Where Can Consumers Find Xyron’s New Products?
