From 11th to 14th December, Hall 6 at the Karachi Expo Center became a lively meeting point for families, educators, and industry professionals attending Stationery & Education Asia 2025. Over four consecutive days, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, the exhibition floor saw a steady flow of visitors exploring new products, discovering emerging trends, and connecting with leading brands in the stationery and education sector.
Among the most prominent activations at the event was Stickoo’s four-booth setup. Designed not simply as a product display but as a fully interactive creative hub, the Stickoo zone drew continuous engagement and positioned the brand as a leader in safe, high-performance adhesives for the consumer market.
This was not just participation. It was a strategic statement.
The primary goal behind Stickoo’s presence at Stationery & Education Asia 2025 was to create a compelling post-event impact while reinforcing the brand’s leadership in the Pakistani stationery market. The focus was threefold:
· Showcase Stickoo as a trusted, child-safe adhesive brand for families.
· Show product performance in real-time through hands-on activities.
· Build stronger relationships with parents, educators, and industry partners.
Rather than relying on brochures or technical explanations, Stickoo chose demonstration over description. The strategy was simple: let the product prove itself.
Stickoo operates under the umbrella of Samad Adhesive, a recognized leader in the industrial adhesive sector. While Samad Adhesive is known for manufacturing solutions that serve large-scale industries, Stickoo is engineered specifically for the consumer segment.
This distinction matters.
Stickoo products are designed with two priorities in mind: child safety and dependable bonding strength. They are washable, easy to apply, and suitable for school-level DIY and art projects, yet strong enough to handle materials beyond paper. This dual focus was central to the messaging at the exhibition.
Parents often worry about safety and mess. Educators care about consistency and classroom practicality. Industry stakeholders look for performance and brand credibility. Stickoo addressed all three audiences simultaneously.
The four-booth layout in Hall 6 was intentionally structured to feel open, inviting, and activity-driven. Instead of shelves filled with products, the space was divided into creative zones where children and parents could sit down, engage, and build something tangible.
The design encouraged participation rather than observation. Families were not spectators. They were creators.
Throughout the four days, the booth maintained high energy, with consistent footfall and active engagement across all operating hours. The open layout allowed visitors to circulate freely while keeping both activity stations visible and accessible.
One of the standout attractions was the Stickoo Stick-Build Zone, centered around a popsicle stick construction activity. This station was specifically created to highlight the strength and precision of Stickoo Glue Tubes.
Children were guided to build 3D shapes, frames, and simple structures using wooden popsicle sticks. This was not a flat paper activity. It required alignment, balance, and bonding strength.
The activity demonstrated several key product advantages:
· Effective bonding on wood-based materials.
· Controlled, precise application through the glue tube design.
· Strong hold without excessive application.
· Minimal mess, even with repeated use.
Parents could see immediately that the glue was capable of handling more than paper. Educators observed how suitable the product could be for structured art or craft projects within school environments.
By allowing children to test the glue on wood, Stickoo moved the conversation beyond basic classroom sticking and into multi-material capability.
For younger participants, the Paper Plate Art Corner offered a more free-form creative experience using Stickoo Glue Sticks.
Children decorated paper plates with colorful cut-outs, shapes, and layered elements. The objective was to allow unrestricted creativity while showcasing the smooth, even application of Stickoo Glue Sticks.
Key benefits became evident during use:
· No clumping or over-application.
· Smooth glide for easy spreading.
· Clean handling suitable for classroom settings.
· Reliable sticking power for layered paper crafts.
Teachers visiting the booth appreciated how manageable the glue sticks were during continuous use. The activity served as a live demonstration of classroom readiness.
Beyond product performance, Stickoo emphasized its “Juray Raho” philosophy, centered on connection and shared experiences.
The booth was intentionally designed to encourage parents and children to work side by side. Instead of dropping children at the activity table, many parents chose to sit with them, assist in balancing structures, suggest color combinations, or simply observe and guide.
These collaborative moments transformed the activation into something deeper than a promotional exercise. It became a shared family experience.
Creative activities are often one of the few times parents and children collaborate without distraction. By facilitating this interaction, Stickoo positioned itself not just as a product, but as a catalyst for connection.
Every participating child received:
· Their own handmade craft to take home.
· An official Stickoo Participation Certificate.
· A goodie bag containing product samples.
These rewards served a larger purpose. They ensured that engagement did not end at the exhibition hall. By taking samples home, families could continue experimenting with Stickoo products in their own environment.
This follow-through strategy helped reinforce brand recall and encouraged repeat use beyond the event.
Over the four-day activation, the results were significant:
· More than 2,500 families visited the Stickoo zone.
· Over 1,000 children actively participated in hands-on activities.
· Thousands of popsicle-stick structures and paper-plate artworks were created.
· Continuous nine-hour daily engagement maintained strong booth visibility.
The Stickoo zone remained one of the busiest attractions in Hall 6. The consistent crowd indicated genuine interest rather than short bursts of attention.
For industry observers, this level of engagement demonstrated strong brand pull and market relevance.
With high visibility in Karachi, Stickoo strengthened its position as a preferred adhesive brand heading into the Back-to-School period. Direct interaction with families and educators reinforced product familiarity and trust.
Many consumers are unaware of the practical differences between Stickoo Glue Stick and Stickoo Glue Tube. Through hands-on demonstration:
· Glue Tubes were positioned as ideal for structured, heavier-material projects.
· Glue Sticks were reinforced as clean, reliable tools for paper-based classroom activities.
· This clarity supports smarter purchasing decisions.
By focusing on experience rather than aggressive selling, Stickoo built emotional resonance. Parents saw their children enjoying safe, creative activities. Teachers experienced product reliability firsthand. Industry partners observed high footfall and engagement.
This combination strengthens long-term brand equity.
One of the subtle but important messages throughout the activation was national pride. Stickoo represents itself as the best glue for school projects in Pakistan, delivering international-quality safety and performance standards.
In a market often dominated by imported stationery products, demonstrating local excellence matters. The exhibition provided a platform to celebrate that capability confidently.

By combining safe, high-quality adhesives with meaningful interactive zones, Stickoo achieved strong visibility, measurable engagement, and lasting impressions among families and educators in Karachi.
All in all, over four days, Hall 6 witnessed more than crafts being assembled. It saw relationships strengthened, creativity encouraged, and a Pakistani brand confidently reinforcing its place at the forefront of the consumer adhesive market.
