The glue stick schools can trust. 

You know a good glue stick when you see it.  

• It twists smoothly

• It doesn’t wobble

• It doesn’t snap mid-lesson

And it doesn’t end up glued to someone’s sleeve or jumper. Hmmm, if it does it’s gentle and school uniform friendly! 

Meet CLASSMATES glue sticks, the ones made for classrooms, children and teaching days. 

Built for busy hands and even busier lessons 

Classroom glue sticks live a tough life. CLASSMATES were designed with all of that in mind and then put to the test. 

Independently tested by Bureau Veritas alongside nine other leading brands.

This isn’t just lab performance; it’s reliability teachers can feel lesson after lesson.

Strong where it matters most 

When glue sticks break, lessons stall. CLASSMATES glue sticks hold firm under classroom pressure, with one of the highest breaking and detachment forces tested.

Which means:

• Fewer snapped sticks

• Fewer frustrated pupils

• Fewer interruptions to learning

It is glue that keeps up, even when classrooms don’t slow down.

More glue. Less running out. 

Here is something teachers will love: CLASSMATES glue sticks give you more than promised. 

Although labelled at 40g, independent testing showed each stick contains around 45g of glue roughly 13% extra.

Resulting in:

• Longer use per glue stick

• Fewer replacements needed

• Better value across the school year

Incredible value – more glue for your budget 

We know schools need products that do more than just work, they need products that stretch every pound. CLASSMATES glue sticks deliver on both quality and value.  They’re one of the most affordable classroom staples around. That means you can stock up without worrying about overspending, while still getting the reliable performance that every lesson demands. 

And it’s not just about cost. Each stick is designed to last longer, glide smoothly, and avoid snapping mid-use. That’s less waste, fewer interruptions, and more sticking where it counts on paper, projects, and proud displays. 

CLASSMATES glue sticks prove that high performance doesn’t have to come with a high price tag. Every stick gives more glue, more reliability, and more value for your budget, because we know every penny counts!

Clean, washable and classroom-friendly 

Strong glue does not need to be messy.

CLASSMATES glue sticks glide on smoothly, applies evenly and keep fingers, tables and uniforms clean. 

Independent testing confirmed:

• No staining on school clothing, even after washing
