Coccoina Glue: Tin and Stick
Made from potato starch, this classic Italian adhesive has delighted users since 1927 with its gentle formula and signature almond scent. Available in both a traditional tin with integrated brush and a convenient stick format, Coccoina perfectly bridges past and present. The packaging design remains a wonderful example of early 20th century Italian industrial design, featuring the distinctive "Coccoina" script logo, largely unchanged since its 1927 debut. What makes this product special is how it balances utility with nostalgia - the same almond fragrance that delighted Italian schoolchildren in the 1920s continues to charm users today, whether they choose the classic tin or modern stick format.

Founded in 1927 by Aldo Balma in Italy's Piedmont region, Coccoina began with a mission to create a safe, effective adhesive that would bring joy to the simple act of gluing paper. The signature almond scent was added to appeal to children while serving as a natural preservative. Today, this family-owned company continues to produce their adhesives according to their original eco-friendly principles, making them a pioneer in sustainable manufacturing.
