Kokuyo GLOO Square Glue Stick

Kokuyo GLOO is a square glue stick with a twist – quite literally, you twist it to use it! But more than that, the look and feel of the product has been thoughtfullydesignedbyNendo, a Japanese design firm who worked to create a range of minimal and effective adhesive products for Kokuyo, called GLOO.

“InGLOO, Nendoreworks the typically excessive appearance ofstationerypackaging in a series of uniform adhesive products complete with a matte white finish and subtle, non-distracting information printed on them.developed for japanese stationery company KOKUYO, the project seeks to unify various productssuch as glues and tapes which have been produced under different brands.“

GLOO is more than just practicality, it’s also about looks and when it comes to good looking stationery, we’remost definitely here for it.

The cap ispurposefully made to be curved and circular to stopthe glue stick from drying out. It’s also designed to be opened one handed, freeing your other hand to hold down anybits you might beglueing together.

To use the GLOO stick, simply twist the bottom of the stick to distribute the glue.

When you’re done pasting, place the GLOO stick cap-side down and you can easily click the body onto the cap, one-handed.

So what’s the difference between the three types of GLOO stick?

DisappearingBlue is designed to show up blue on paper so that it helps you to see where you’re placing the glue. This is ideal for more precise craft work. After a few seconds, the glue begins to dry clear and the blue colour disappears.

Wrinkle Free is a low water formula glue, which aids in preventing the wrinkling effect on paper that you typically seewith wetter glue sticks. If you’re glueing cuttings or anything that you’d like to stick down in a pristine condition without affecting the paper onto whichyou’re placing it, then this is the glue foryou. Think pastingcuttings out in your planner – you’ll want to keep that looking fresh without wrinklingas it dries!

Greydoesn’t have any quirky tricks up its sleeve – likedisappearing colours or wrinkle freeformulas – but what it does have going for it, is its good looks and a very strong adhesive that certainly won’t disappoint.
