Hot-melt adhesive is generally suited to applications with high levels of moisture and uneven surfaces such as HDPE & corrugated paper fibre. Acrylic adhesive is more suited to low friction, high speed applications such glass and PET. In all cases the bottle or container being labelled needs to be supplied along with the application & storage conditions.
