Re-moist gum. The name isn't memorable but we are sure you have used something that uses this technique at some point in your business or personal life.
Re-moist gumming is a specific type of gluing where an adhesive gum is applied to an area of paper, which allows for sealing by the end-user. It works by the gum being activated by moistening it, usually by licking - this then becomes sticky and can be attached/re-attached to another part of the same product. You're probably immediately thinking of an Envelope - well that is one common method where remoist gumming is used.
One main benefit of this process is the security this brings to the items: Companies will use this method as a way of increasing the response rates on mailings or to ensure confidentiality for sensitive information. This is often used for instances such as Warranty registrations for products as opposed to a simple postcard. Whilst online methods have become more popular in recent years, there's no doubt that there is still a place for this type of product in todays world.
It doesn't just extend to envelopes and warranty cards - meter readings can be done through the post using this method, and Engineers can use these as a 'leave behind' after they have finished their appointment. Additionally, pre-paid envelopes are still popular and an effective use of this technique.
