What is a Tape Dispenser For?
A tape dispenser is a practical tool designed to simplify and speed up the process of applying tape to packages, cartons, or other surfaces. By providing a convenient way to dispense, cut, and apply tape, it eliminates the hassle of manually unrolling and tearing tape by hand, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Packing Tape Dispensers
We stock a choice of tape dispensers for use with our standard sizes of parcel tape; choose from pistol grip tape guns, desktop and heavy duty bench clamp parcel tape dispensers. Each can be used with a wide range of tapes, including standard Kite packaging tape, kraft tape, crossweave tape, masking tape, and more. Gummed tape has its own type of dispenser, as it is water activated–find out more below.
Gummed Tape Dispensers
Made from renewable natural resources and completely recyclable, water activated gum tape is designed for use in a gummed tape dispenser. We supply a selection of manual and electronic gummed paper tape dispensers suitable for both gummed-side-in and gummed-side-out tapes which dispense and moisten the tape; choose our basic pull and tear manual gummed tape dispenser or a gummed paper tape machine which will cut the tape at pre-programmed lengths.
Carton Sealing Machines
Designed for busy dispatch operations, a carton sealing machine can save costs and increase productivity. Our easy to use carton sealing machine applies a professional looking seal to both top and bottom of cardboard boxes, and is easily adjustable for use with a wide range of carton sizes. Operated by one user and able to seal up to 30 cases per minute, a carton sealing machine is an investment that will pay for itself in no time at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve gone through some common questions on tape dispensers below.
Are Tape Dispensers Worth It?
Tape dispensers often prove worth the investment as they make packing quicker, easier, and more efficient. Whether you're sealing boxes in a warehouse, dispatching online orders, or just handling everyday packaging tasks, a dispenser helps you apply tape smoothly, reduces waste, and speeds up the process. If you're working with high volumes, a tape dispenser machine can take efficiency to the next level by automating the process.

Tape dispensers go by a few different names depending on their type and function:
- Tape dispenser gun – Great for sealing boxes and general packaging
- Gummed tape dispenser – Designed for water-activated tape
- Tape dispenser machine – A high-speed, automated option for bulk packaging
