A waterproof adhesive should be attached to the top edge of the dorsal flap. When aged in the oven at 50 degrees Celsius and 87% relative humidity, the adhesive should not soften or sink, but firmly and evenly adhere the top edge to the back flap. The properties of the adhesive must not affect the properties of the paperboard (i.e., reduce alkaline reserve, increase sulphur content, lower pH, reduce durability on bending, or fail the paperboard in photographic activity test, ANSI IT9.2-1988, clause 5). The adhesive must not be visible through the carton or change the colour of the carton.
If the adhesive needs to be stamped, use the same pad as in the carton (i.e. calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate or a combination of both).
