How to Use a Tape Dispenser for Adhesive Rolls

In: Packing and handling

Using an adhesive roll to seal a carton can quickly become frustrating—losing the tape end, struggling to cut it properly… Fortunately, a tape dispenser is here to simplify your tasks and save you precious time. Here’s a practical guide on how to use it efficiently.

Setting Up the Adhesive Roll in the Dispenser

To start, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the dispenser: Place it on a flat and stable surface.
  2. Insert the adhesive roll: Position the roll in the designated holder.
  3. Check the installation direction: Pull out a small piece of tape—it should stick properly to the cutting blade of the dispenser.

Once this step is complete, your adhesive roll is ready for use.

Using the Dispenser to Tape a Carton

Follow this method for effective sealing:

  1. Pull out a piece of tape: Take a small length of tape and place it on the surface you want to secure.

  2. Maintain steady tension: Slide the dispenser while keeping consistent tension on the tape to avoid twisting or improper adhesion.

  3. Ensure a straight application: For a clean and secure closure, start and stop approximately 5 cm from the carton’s edges.

  4. Reinforcing the Carton:
    - For the bottom of a carton, apply two strips of tape widthwise, slightly extending up the sides.
    - Add a longitudinal strip to ensure optimal strength, preventing the bottom from opening.

Storing the Dispenser

Once your task is complete, there’s no need to remove the adhesive roll. Leave it in the dispenser for future use, which allows you to:

  • Keep your roll easily accessible.
  • Save time on your next use.

A tape dispenser is a simple yet incredibly practical tool that offers numerous advantages:

  • Time-saving: No more searching for the tape end or manually cutting.
