Tape Dispensers

To load a tape dispenser, start by opening any covers or gates to access the spindle. Place the roll of tape onto the spindle with the adhesive side facing downward. Thread the tape under the tension roller and guide it up to the cutting blade, making sure the tape is aligned properly. Once in place, close any covers and pull a small section of tape through to test the cutting function.

The main difference between manual and automatic tape dispensers lies in their operation. Manual tape dispensers rely entirely on the user to pull, apply, and cut the tape, making them suitable for lower-volume or hands-on packaging tasks. In contrast, semi-automatic and fully automatic tape dispensers automate part or all of the taping process.

Yes, most tape dispensers can accommodate various types of adhesive tapes, but it’s important to match the dispenser with the tape’s width, core size, and adhesive type, for example our Pistol Grip and Benchtop models.

Regularly clean the dispenser to remove tape residue and dust, especially around the rollers and cutting blade. Wipe down any adhesive buildup with a cloth and mild solvent if needed. Inspect the blade for sharpness and replace it if it becomes dull or damaged
