I purchased 4 packs of 4 Staples glue sticks to glue a paper form to an manila envelope. I purchased the Staples brand because I expected it to be just as good as the others and save a little money at the same time. Boy was I ever so wrong. I glued 75 papers to the envelopes just to have to go back and re glue all of them by covering the entire paper rather than the edges and an X in the middle. Then when that was dry I was still having to go back and re-glue half of the majority of them with regular Elmer's glue. I'll never again use staples glue. After that I just bought a name brand glue for $1 for three sticks and the local dollar tree to do a 4th of July craft with my children and that worked 100 times better.
I use this because I can see where I apply it. I use it to apply my wine label to wine bottles. Easy removal. Just moisten them and they fall off the bottles.
I specifically buy glue sticks for my 8 yr old son to use. I usually buy name brands simply for quality but I decided to try this Staples brand. After all "Staples" is a brand name right? Right! Anyway it's as good as the other glue products and yes it's cheaper!!!
I use these in my Preschool and also to make my Cricut demos. It works very well. It cleans really well off of tables with magic eraser after it has dried.
