Blu Tac, Blue Tack, Blutack or Blutac? We Stick with All of Them

At Mega Office Supplies, we’ve had just about every spelling of Blu Tack pass through our inbox, search box, and even printed orders. Whether you're looking for blue tack (because yes, it is blue), or blutack (smooshed into one word), we know exactly what you mean. And let’s be honest — if you’ve ever found yourself typing blutac late at night while trying to stick your child’s school project together, we salute you.

The Spelling Conundrum: What’s Actually Correct?

First things first: Blu Tack (with the space, without the "e") is the official, trademarked name from Bostik, the adhesive legends. But just like people still say "Google it" for anything web-related, consumers tend to be creatively free with the spelling. And that freedom leads to:

• Blu Tac – Official. Trademarked. The real deal.
• Blutack – Common. Streamlined. Misspelled? Technically. Relevant? Absolutely.
• Blue Tack – Descriptive. Intuitive. Grammatically charming, if not accurate.
• Blutac – The underdog. Minimalist. Sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi film, but still searches well.

So... Why Does It Matter?

If you're shopping for reusable adhesive to stick up posters, cables, or your sanity, spelling shouldn’t get in the way. But when it comes to online search, spelling is a big deal. At Mega Office Supplies, we aim to rank high no matter how you spell it. Because at the end of the day, our job is to help you find what you're looking for — even if you didn’t know how to spell it in the first place.

And that’s why we’re tackling this conundrum head-on — with a blog post, some SEO, and a bit of light-hearted wisdom.

What is Blu Tack, Really?

Let’s take a quick dive into history. Blu Tack was originally created in the 1970s by Bostik, almost by accident, during experiments for a new sealant. It turned out to be perfect for temporary adhesion and revolutionised how people attached things to walls without damage. Since then, it’s stuck around — literally and figuratively — becoming an iconic tool in homes, classrooms, and offices alike.

It's non-toxic, reusable, and lets you mount posters, hold cables, stabilise furniture, and even remove lint from keyboards. It has more uses than a Swiss army knife in an art class.

Our Top Sellers (a.k.a. Sticky Favourites)

We stock a wide variety of Blu Tack options, but these two are consistently top performers among both office workers and artsy types:

• Bostik Blu Tack 75g Pack
  Your go-to standard adhesive for any situation. It's the Blu Tack you remember from childhood – and still use today.
• Bostik Blu Tack Colour 75g – Box of 10
  Same adhesive magic, but with colours to match your mood or your marketing.

Who Uses Blu Tack?

Everyone. Seriously. It’s not just for students anymore.

• Teachers use it to display artwork and rotate posters.
• Office workers use it to cable-manage like pros.
• Artists use it in stop-motion animation and temporary displays.
• Parents use it to stick school reminders, homework charts, and science projects that defy gravity.

It’s Sticky Business – But Someone Has to Do It

There’s something truly charming about Blu Tack’s staying power. It hasn’t changed much in decades, and it doesn’t need to. It just works. And that’s the kind of product we love to stock — reliable, humble, and deeply appreciated once you realise how often you use it.

From professional office fit-outs to kids’ art corners, Blu Tack is one of those under-the-radar essentials that people don’t think about until they really, really need it. And when they do, we’re here to deliver.

Final Thoughts: To Each Their Own (Spelling)

At Mega Office Supplies, we’ve made peace with the fact that Blu Tack has multiple identities. It’s a shapeshifter, a linguistic chameleon, a sticky staple that goes by many names. We’re not here to correct — we’re here to connect you with the products you love, in the way you spell them.

So whether you say Blu Tac, Blutack, Blue Tack or Blutac — we hear you, and we’ve got it in stock.

Now that’s what we call sticking to the brief.
