At Sussex Print Finishers, we pride ourselves on offering cutting-edge print finishing solutions tailored to your business needs. In this blog post, we explore the process of 'remoist gumming' and how it can benefit your printed materials.
What is Remoist Gum?
Remoist gum is a type of adhesive that becomes sticky when moistened, commonly used in direct mail campaigns, envelopes, and other printed materials that require a sealable closure. The process involves:
- Application: Gum is applied to the paper during the printing process in strips or patterns.
- Drying: The gum dries and remains inactive until it contacts moisture.
- Activation: Upon moistening, the gum reactivates, becoming sticky and allowing the paper to adhere to itself or another surface.
Real-Life Applications
Our expertise in utilising remoist gumming ensures your materials are both functional and professional. Examples of remoist gumming you may be familiar with include:
- Envelopes: Essential for business and personal correspondence, allowing users to seal the envelope by moistening the flap.
- Direct Mail Pieces: Used in marketing materials where recipients can detach and reattach parts of the mailer.
- Coupon Books: Coupons or promotional materials that need to be easily removable yet resealable.
Benefits of Remoist Gum
- Convenience: Easy for end-users, requiring only a bit of moisture to activate the adhesive, making it user-friendly.
- Professional Finish: Provides a clean, tamper-evident seal, important for security and professional presentation.
- Versatility: Applicable in various uses, from mailing to packaging, with customizable patterns and shapes.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for additional adhesives or sealing mechanisms, saving on production and usage costs.
