A glue stick is suitable for almost any situation, and its uses are nearly limitless. In most cases, glue sticks are helpful in the office or at home. In the office, you might quickly want to attach some paper labels or stick proofs onto a document. In the private sector, the glue stick is often a savior when repairing everyday items. For example, you can quickly repair books or stick photos from your last vacation into an album. A high-quality glue stick is also indispensable for crafting. Whether designing invitation cards or decorating gifts, with the right glue stick, crafting is faster and holds securely later.
Particularly practical: Unlike traditional glue, glue sticks do not drip and are therefore even easier to use. Additionally, the glue from the glue stick dries particularly quickly. This way, the adhesive dries in a short time and provides a firm hold.
The Most Common Uses for Glue Sticks

Glue Sticks for Children
Crafting with children is even more fun with our glue stick. Various things need to be glued together repeatedly when crafting. With our round-shaped glue stick, you can craft easily and together with children. For some craft projects, our triangular-shaped glue stick can also be useful. The glue spreads easily and is solvent-free and odorless. If some glue gets on the clothes while crafting with children, it's not a problem. You can simply wash the glue out with cold water. Thus, our tesa® Stick or tesa® Promo Stick glue stick is perfect for crafting with children.

Additionally, we have considered many other aspects in the development of our glue stick. These include, above all, health and sustainability aspects.
Solvent-Free Glue in Our Glue Sticks
Particularly important for a glue stick: minimizing potential health risks as much as possible. The environmental impact should also be kept as low as possible. For these reasons, we have developed a solvent-free glue stick. A solvent-free glue is based on water and not on an organic solvent. Without solvents, the environmental impact and health risks can be reduced.
Nevertheless, always use our glue sticks with caution and dispose of empty glue sticks correctly. Glue sticks can cause allergic reactions and contain BIT.
Environmentally Friendly Glue Sticks
We wanted to develop our glue sticks as sustainably and environmentally friendly as possible. For this reason, we use 100% recycled plastic and 60% natural materials (water) in our glue stick. The packaging of our glue sticks consists of 80% recycled cardboard. Our tesa® Stick glue stick is also available in a special ecoLogo® variant. This way, you can do something good for the environment with a simple glue stick.
