Frequently Asked Questions

What sort of tape does the manual tape dispenser use?

The manual water-activated tape dispenser uses water activated gum tape. Gummed tape is the ultimate eco-friendly case taping method. Made from natural kraft paper carrier and starch adhesive, it is 100% sustainable, 100% biodegradable
and 100% recyclable without having to be segregated from cardboard.

What is gummed paper tape?

Also known as water-activated tape, gummed paper tape is usually made from
brown Kraft paper and water-activated adhesive. This tape is ideal for sealing corrugated cardboard cartons. When the tape is applied, it bonds with the inner corrugated layer of the carton, creating a tamper-proof seal. It can’t be pushed in with pressure. It literally becomes part of the cardboard carton.

Do I need a manual or an electronic gummed paper tape dispenser?

The decision between a manual or an electronic gummed paper tape dispenser depends on your level of productivity. If you have a busy mailroom and need a fast tape dispenser then we would recommend the Better Packages Electronic Tape
Dispenser. This dispenser can seal over 100 cartons per eight-hour shift without overheating and saves staff from acquiring repetitive strain injury.
As a more affordable option, we have a range of manual dispensers such as tape shooters and pull and tear dispensers for the slower-paced mailroom that come well designed and built.

How do I seal my carton using water activated tape?

It is important to get the dampened tape from the dispenser to your carton as soon as it shoots out. Apply it from the middle and spread outwards along the seal until it has smoothed and formally bonded with the carton. It will take a few seconds to set.

Are water-activated tape dispensers expensive?

The cost of a water-activated tape dispenser varies based on the type—manual, semi-automated, or fully automated. Fully automated dispensers are ideal for high-volume packing environments, helping to prevent repetitive strain injuries and reduce tape waste. In contrast, manual dispensers are a more cost-effective option with fewer features, making them suitable for smaller-scale operations.

Is it more productive to use gummed paper tape or pressure sensitive tapes?

Since water-activated tape is dispensed from a benchtop mechanism, it eliminates repetitive strain injury that is caused by tape gun dispensers typically used to apply pressure-sensitive tapes. Due to the superior bonding properties of gummed paper tape, only one strip is needed. While other tapes can be less expensive, over-application of pressure-sensitive tapes to secure a decent seal takes more time and
uses more tape. In the long run, It is more productive to use gummed paper tape.
