across our range offering customers such capabilities. Take the time to properly research each product before starting a project to ensure you can deliver exactly what the customer wants. It is also important to ensure you can match the ever-changing demands of customers. With the call for more environmentally friendly printed work on the rise, being able to work with adhesives that are more planet friendly will have a significant impact on the final output. Certain adhesive materials have more sustainable features than others, including full recyclability and being non-PVC, and can be useful in jobs that require a greener approach.

dhesives play a hugely important role in applications of all shapes and sizes. Be it indoor work such as wall, window and floor graphics, or exterior applications including safety signage and vehicle wraps, making sure you are working with reliable and suitable material can be the difference between a project’s success or failure.
Selecting the right material for each job is no easy task, with professionals facing a wide range of options. On this, it is crucial
to remember that there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” solution with adhesives, with each product suited to certain types of work. While some materials may be tailored for applications like packaging and industrial labelling, others may be a better fit for pieces such as vehicle wraps or safety signage. This is key when it comes to addressing some of the latest, stand-out trends in the market. At present, Drytac is seeing an increasing call for removable, repositionable and high-tack adhesives, with solutions
Another piece of advice for those seeking guidance on product choice is to consider how easy each material is to work with. Can your customers apply the adhesive themselves or does it require specialists to install? Drytac has ease of use at mind with many of its products, including those in both the ReTac and Polar ranges, with the aim of enabling both professionals and end-users to easily work with the material. At Drytac, our portfolio of products features options that can support customers with all manner of work. To name just a few examples, Drytac customers have used our materials to produce high-impact pieces such as point-of-sale displays, exhibition graphics and high-performance labelling, as well as to carry out crucial finishing processes such as industrial laminating. However, while industry professionals have access to a huge range of adhesive options, the reality is that this may not always be enough. In some cases, companies approach suppliers like Drytac with specific requirements that can only be satisfied by creating custom solutions. Drytac is able to offer this service to its customers, tailoring its adhesives to meet the unique needs of each project, such as delivering heat-resistant adhesives or materials that will pass the test of application in extreme environments.
Regardless of application, the expert team at Drytac is perfectly positioned to help and guide customers to the solutions that will best meet their requirements.
