It is a pleasure to announce that Yamato Co., Ltd., a stationery manufacturer well known for its “Yamato Starch Glue,” has won the 19th Kids Design Award (sponsored by the Kids Design Association, a non-profit organization) for its starch glue “Yamato Starch Glue Tapiko.”

The Kids Design Award is a commendation program for realizing as well as spreading the three Kids Design Missions. Not limited to products/ services for children such as infant products and toys, this award welcomes a wide range of high-quality products or facilities, programs and research activities for children and adults, as long as there are considerations made for children. There are 9 Minister Awards including the Prime Minister’s Award. Awarded works will be permitted to use the “Kids Design Mark”.　

“Yamato Starch Glue Tapiko” has been awarded a prize in the “Designs to contribute to the safety and security from children; Category: Children” category.

Yamato Starch Glue Tapiko is a tube-type starch glue that can be applied directly from the container without getting your hands sticky with glue.The nozzle has a special cap with small holes, and the container is designed to be soft and easy for children to use, allowing them to spread the glue smoothly.

This product was created in response to a certain number of customer requests for a safe adhesive that could be used without having to apply it directly by hand.

Like regular Yamato Starch Glue, the raw material is naturally derived from tapioca starch, so you can use it with peace of mind.

Yamato Co., Ltd. will continue to strive to manufacture safe and reliable products.
