Artline Glue Stick 40g: Bulk Box of 12 for Work

The Artline Glue Stick 40g is a solid adhesive stick supplied in a display box of 12, made by the Japanese stationery brand Artline (Shachihata) for offices, schools and healthcare admin that go through glue in volume. Each 40g stick measures roughly 30 x 30 x 118 mm, so it is a full-size stick rather than a mini, and buying the box of 12 keeps a shared supply cupboard stocked between orders.

Why a bulk box of glue sticks matters

Glue sticks are a quiet workhorse. They rarely make a purchase order on their own, but a workplace notices fast when the drawer is empty. Ordering the Artline Glue Stick 40g as a box of 12 means one line item covers a whole team, a full classroom, or a ward's admin desk for weeks.

The 40g size sits at the larger end of the everyday range, so each stick lasts longer between replacements than the common 8g or 21g sticks. For any setting that mounts, labels or assembles paper every day, fewer changeovers means less interruption.

Where the Artline Glue Stick 40g fits

In the office: use it at the mail and print station for sealing labels to satchels, mounting notices onto card, and assembling internal reports or sample packs. A shared box of 12 by the guillotine or binder keeps the whole floor covered.

In the classroom: the 40g size is built for the way primary and secondary students actually use glue — collages, worksheets pasted into workbooks, and project displays. One display box seeds a class set, and the full-size stick survives more hands than a mini does.

In healthcare admin: ward clerks and clinic reception use glue sticks to mount notices on staff boards, assemble patient-education handouts, and fix printed labels to folders and dividers. Keeping a box of 12 at the nurses' station or admin desk means the supply is there when a handover pack needs putting together.

Tips for getting the most from a glue stick

Twist the stick up only a few millimetres at a time and re-cap it straight after use — solid adhesive dries out if the cap is left off, so capping is what protects the box of 12 over its life. Apply an even layer to the lighter of the two surfaces, then press and smooth from the centre outward to push out air. For a long edge, a thin continuous line holds better than heavy dabs.

How does the 40g stick compare to smaller sizes?

The everyday glue-stick range runs from small 8g sticks up to larger 40g ones. The Artline Glue Stick 40g sits at the larger end, which changes how often you reach for a fresh stick rather than how it applies. For low-volume use — the odd note or envelope — a small stick is fine. For a busy print room, a class of 25, or a reception desk assembling packs all day, the 40g size in a box of 12 means fewer replacements and less time hunting for the next stick.

Because it is a solid stick rather than a liquid, application stays neat and low-mess: there is nothing to spill onto a desk, a chart, or a shared table, and paper lies flatter than it does with wet glue. That makes it an easy default for shared spaces where a knocked-over bottle would be a nuisance.
