Edge

Edge is a glue stick with a pointed edge that allows glue to be applied easily – with no mess, and no sticky fingers.

Edge has been designed to address some of the shortcomings of typical glue sticks. When using a typical glue stick, it can be difficult to apply glue to the corner tips of a sheet of paper without getting glue on the desk. If the corners of the sheet are left unglued, the likelihood that it will come unstuck is greater. Placing another piece of paper on the desk as a surface to collect excess glue is wasteful. Also, your hands can become sticky very easily.

Edge can be used in the traditional upstanding format, but it can also apply glue when laid flat on its side. Its base has a dropletshape rather than the typical circle. Thus, it has one long pointed edge with a ninety-degree angle. Glue can be applied through this edge in order to cover a large area in a single stroke. The edge also prevents the glue stick from rolling onto the floor. When Edge is used in the vertical format, its droplet profile fits perfectly into the square corners of pieces of paper.
