The primary application of white glue was in woodworking, with secondary applications in upholstery, flooring, and footwear. Company decided to enter in to retail market with the product and for that, they come up with collapsible tube. Company came up with different packaging in order to cater to different segment of customers.
Pidilite Industries decided to leverage the Fevicol brand’s success and popularity by launching a version suitable for the retail market. The first product line extension, a 30-gram collapsible tube, was introduced in the early 1970’s. Subsequently the company rolled out a spate of uniquely packaged Fevicol products, available for school students as well as professional and educational institutions. The introduction of various packaging formats helped transition the brand from the image of an industrial product to an all-purpose glue.
