Mounting Putty Category Overview
Mounting Putty, identified by the Google product category ID 505805, falls under the path Office Supplies > General Office Supplies > Mounting Putty. This category is designed for reusable adhesive materials intended for temporary or semi-permanent mounting of light items in home, school, or office environments.
This category includes products formulated to stick posters, decorations, and small items to walls or surfaces without damaging them.

These products typically come in pre-cut squares or as strips of kneadable adhesive that provide a clean alternative to traditional nails, pins, or permanent glue.
If your item belongs to neighboring office supplies categories, do not use this ID. Specifically, do not categorize items such as Office Tape, Paper Clips & Clamps, Erasers, Rubber Bands, Staples, or Tacks & Pushpins under Mounting Putty. Products like labels, tags, correction fluids, tapes, or laminating supplies should also be mapped to their own respective categories in the Google taxonomy rather than here.
There are no subcategories available for this classification; this is the most specific level. When configuring your Google Merchant Center feed, you can input either 505805 or the full path: Office Supplies > General Office Supplies > Mounting Putty. Providing this value is optional but recommended to avoid incorrect automated categorization. Remember that the product_type attribute is for your internal use and does not replace the mandatory or optional Google product category designation.
