Gummed Paper Tape Dispensers
Our range of gummed paper tape dispensers have been designed to suit a variety of different operations, from small to high volume users. All the machines are compact enough to fit snugly on a worktable or packing bench, and can be easily operated to change the water chamber and alter the length of tape you require.
Gummed paper tape has become more widely used in fulfilment operations due to the environmental and performance benefits it provides. Particularly for operations where hundreds of goods are being packed ready for transit, security of goods is important, and because gummed paper tape bonds to the fibres of a box it is the best tape to use for creating a secure seal.
Gummed paper tape is unique as it must be used with a dispenser to work efficiently, due to it being water-activated. For small operations this can be easily achieved with a simple manually operated dispenser; however more premium versions are better for large operations. Dispensers that offer a ‘predetermined length’ benefit also help to significantly reduce costs in the supply chain, as you are in control of the tape length each time – ensuring there is little to no waste.
Our Range of Gummed Paper Tape Dispensers
Our range of gummed paper tape dispensers includes three different models - two manual models and one electronic model, for those looking for an automated solution.
Specifications vary per machine, see below for more information.
Handheld Gummed Paper Tape Dispenser
This gummed paper tape dispenser is great for those seeking a portable and flexible option within low to medium operations. Designed to be user-friendly, the dispenser uses shorter, more manageable rolls of standard tape (50mm x 50m) which are easier to carry around the workplace. As well as this, its compact, ergonomic handle prevents hand fatigue while the safety guard protects against injuries from the dispenser’s blade.
Tape used in conjunction with this dispenser is strong so less is required to securely seal packages. It uses a natural, starch-based adhesive which bonds to the fibres of a box, offering environmental benefits as well as being 100% recyclable.
Our handheld gummed paper tape dispenser is intuitive and easy to use. When not in use, it’s important to place the dispenser down with the handle facing upwards to avoid any leakages from occurring.
Manual Pull & Tear
This manual gummed paper tape dispenser is the most affordable of the range, and works with all our gummed paper tapes (including both gummed-side in and gummed-side out), up to a maximum width of 80mm. Designed specifically for users with small volumes of product, the benefits of this dispenser include its compact design and simple operation which uses a simple pull and tear method for single handed use.
The dispenser works by moistening tape over a roller as it is pulled forward, then cutting the moistened tape as it is pulled against a blade. The tape then provides a tamper-evident, highly presentable seal that blends in with the box.

- Auto-repeat for set lengths
- Electronically it provides any tape length between 150mm – 2200 mm in length

Demonstrating how to use our handheld device
Our handheld gummed paper tape dispenser is perfect for those on the go. Simply fill the small tank with water which is clevery located within the handle. Then load the tape onto the dispenser and feed the tape through the rollers. Next you must lift the safety plate away from the blade then squeeze and hold the trigger to moisten the tape for application. You can then use this like a normal tape dispenser to create a strong and clean seal.
Demonstrating how to use our manual machine
Our manual gummed tape machine is perfect for those on a budget. Simply fill the chamber full of water by firstly pouring it into the tank. If this is the first time you are using the machine, open the lid and slot the loose part under the roller. Adjust two metal panels to fit different tape widths; note that this machine is ideal with our reinforced gummed paper tape. Then, slot the tape under the part that was just fitted and close the lid. If the tape isn't quite coming out right, you can adjust the weight on the machine until it dispenses perfect and smooth water coverage. If you have certain size boxes, and a certain tape length in mind, use the measurements at the side of the machine to produce the desired tape length. Otherwise, simply pull the lever to dispense any tape length. Apply to box as soon as possible to ensure a secure and strong stick.
