Fevicol sticks to fun with a new twist on glue-tube design
MUMBAI: Stick it like a pro, play it like a kid. Fevicol MR, the glue that generations have grown up with, just got a spunky makeover and it’s sticking the landing in style. Pidilite Industries has rolled out an all-new packaging for its iconic craft adhesive, bringing pen-like precision and childlike joy into classrooms, craft corners, and stationery aisles across the country.
The new design features a slick pull-push lock mechanism and a mess-free nozzle, goodbye dried caps and gooey disasters. Shaped like a pen for easy handling by tiny hands, the pack comes in six eye-popping designs, each armed with a QR code linking to craft tutorials for the little Da Vincis and Picassos of tomorrow.
And it’s not just looks that are getting the upgrade. A bouncy new jingle “Pull Karo, Stick Karo, Push Karo” powers the TVC, turning the simple act of gluing into a toe-tapping, cap-twirling performance that’s hard to forget. The spot captures the sheer delight of a kid immersed in creation, reinforcing Fevicol’s role as a childhood essential.
Speaking on the development, Pidilite Industries Ltd., senior vice president for consumer products Kashyap Gala stated, “The revamp of Fevicol MR’s packaging reaffirms our commitment to pioneering innovations that enhance the consumer experience. Consumers have widely appreciated the new packaging. The innovative design has resonated well, particularly with children and their parents, who find the new features both practical, useful, and enjoyable. The ease of use and the fun element introduced by the new designs have enhanced the overall crafting experience.”
With vibrant in-store displays and fresh packaging now out at stationery stores nationwide, the 60-year-old adhesive proves it’s still got the glue game on lockdown. The makeover not only freshens up a classic, but also reinforces Fevicol MR’s promise to spark creativity, one crafty capless tube at a time.
