- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025Color: PurpleSize: 2-PackVerified PurchasePerfect for back to school. Affordable, easy to use and quality was great. Super easy to clean any mistakes made. Durable and appearance was made good.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2024Color: PurpleSize: 2-PackVerified PurchaseI finally had a reason to use these glue sticks and was very pleased with their quality for such a reasonable price! I have some peel and stick closure envelopes that need a little help to stay closed for mailing and the glue stick was very helpful. The cap on the glue stick was a bit difficult for me to open but, once opened, the results were great! I have used glue sticks in the past without the purple color and it was tough to see where I had glued. These sticks solved that issue beautifully!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024Color: PurpleSize: 2-PackVerified PurchaseThe Amazon Basics Purple Washable School Glue Sticks are an absolute steal, especially when other supplies can be so expensive. These glue sticks work just as well as the pricier brands, drying clear and holding paper securely. The purple color makes it easy to see where you’ve applied the glue, which is great for kids’ projects. Plus, they’re washable, so no need to worry about messy accidents. The 2-pack offers excellent value for the price, making it perfect for school supplies or craft projects without breaking the bank!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2024Color: PurpleSize: 2-PackVerified PurchaseI am impressed with how good these work for my use case. I use them for my 3d printer bed to help with first layer adhesion, I initially bought because they shipped faster than the Elmers brand I’ve always used, but I’ve had better results at less than half the price. That being said I’m unsure of performance when used for crafts and other standard use cases, but if you’re using for a 3d printer, it’s better than hairspray and Elmers in my experience.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Color: PurpleSize: 30-PackVerified PurchaseNot sure why I bought 30 glue sticks but I did and now I need to keep 3 and give the other 27 to my grand kids class room. But overall they work great and are really low priced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for crafting on the frugal side
Color: PurpleSize: 30-PackVerified PurchaseI did not test this glue yet, but I am going to soon. I decided to start foddering, and starting gluebooks as a simple pastime. So from everything I have seen hoarding glue sticks will become common.
While I am being prevented on freedom of review on how I received my item, I will leave it to your imagination… envelope plus glue box, equals?

5.0 out of 5 stars Colle assez pratique car petit pour le rangement
Color: PurpleSize: 60-PackVerified PurchaseJ'ai pris ces colle et j'apprécie le faite qu'elle soit petite et pratique pour les ranger dans une trousse d'école ou autre. De plus on peut bien définir ou la colle et déjà mise car une couleur violette se dépose en même que la colle et s'efface complètement au bout de quelques seconde donc super pratique même pour les enfants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Colla per scuola ed ufficio
Color: PurpleSize: 60-PackVerified PurchaseOggi condivido con voi le mie opinioni su questo prodotto.
Avendo quattro figlie a casa di colle ne consumiamo una gran quantità. Laq scelta mia e di mia moglie è caduta su questo prodotto perche ci offriva una buona scorta ad un prezzo molto vantaggioso. Essendo un prodotto Amazon Basic in più aveva la garanzia di essere un prodotto valido.il pacco è arrivato ben confezionato delle giuste dimensioni a garantire un buon trasporto del prodotto.
La colla è risultata di ottima qualità. Ha un ottima tenuta e la consistenza è giusta, ne troppo dura ne troppo morbida . Molto comodo il fatto di essere colorata nell' atto dell'applicazione. Quando si stende si vede dove si è già passati. Dopo
poco tempo dall' applicazione il colore scompare rendendo la colla trasparente.
Davvero un ottimo prodotto che per qualità può competere tranquillamente com le marche più blasonate

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these
Color: PurpleSize: 60-PackVerified PurchaseThese are the best glue sticks we have every used, love the purple colour. We use them in our workshops and they always went missing, the purple colour of the glue helps our workshop users who have learning difficulties to see the glue. We have named all of the glue sticks after our staff members and they all go back into their box after every session.
