Manual or automatic tape dispensers: Key features
Marcus Meyer Photography
Tape dispensers are tape holders that make it easier for you to position and cut the tape. Our tape dispensers are equipped with either sharp spikes or a kind of knife.
If you move around a lot, like in a warehouse, a tape dispenser gun is the right choice. This is a handheld device used to tape boxes or other shipping material. The little spikes make it easy for you to cut the tape without having to use scissors or put down the tape roll.
Other possibilities are automatic dispensers. These come in various forms that you can choose from. All of them offer different features that support you in being more efficient.
(Semi-)Automatic tape dispensers
These type of tape dispensers typically hold a roll of tape and have a mechanism that dispenses the tape in a controlled manner, without the need for manual cutting or pulling. They use sensors to detect the size and length of the tape needed and then automatically cuts the tape to the desired length. This type of dispenser is commonly used in industrial and manufacturing settings, where large volumes of packaging and product assembly require a high degree of speed and accuracy.
Tape applicators for full process automation
Besides offering tape dispensers we also develop tape applicators to automate manufacturing and application processes in different industries. The automation of patch application with tesa® EfficienSeal or of the headliner assembly in the automotive industry are just two examples for our passion to collaborate with our customers and partner and by that to improve manufacturing processes.
Typical usage of tape dispensers
Typically, tape dispensers can be found in various processes. Our products provide you with many solutions for packaging or mounting.
Packaging tape dispensers
Packaging tape dispensers are typically used in the commerce industry to close carton boxes. As already mentioned, packaging tape can be put into either handheld tape dispenser guns or automatic tape dispensers. It depends on what you intend to use it for and how much space you have. Tape dispensers for packaging feature a sharp edge to cut the tape.
Tape dispenser for mounting
Most tape dispensers can also be used for double-sided tape. In that case, the tape roll has one side covered by a liner. The process of application then works as with single-sided tapes, but you or a robot must pull off the liner after the tape was put on the surface. This ensures that the double-sided tape doesn’t stick to the dispenser.
The type of dispensing device needed depends on the circumstances. A handheld device is practical if you walk around a lot. Other possibilities are semi-automatic bench dispensers or automatic tape dispensers that can be used for different kinds of tapes and facilitate the process of cutting the correct size of the tape. We offer various types of dispensers for different sizes of tape rolls.
Tape dispensers for long tapes
If you use tapes with a high barrel length, special tape dispensers with coils support you to improve your efficiency. The tape is pulled over a certain number of coils before it is cut in the end. We offer to adjust the size and construction of the coils to your production processes. This can shorten your production time and is useful for various big industries like the automotive or the corrugated cardboard industry.

Tape dispensers: FAQ
How do you load a packing tape dispenser?
There are numerous methods for loading your packing tape dispenser. This depends on what model you use. Handheld tape dispenser guns can normally be pulled into two parts, and then you put the tape roll in the dispenser. The metal spikes give you an orientation on how you should position the tape. Bigger tape dispensers have similar mechanisms where you pull one part out and change the tape. Here, you should ensure that your input for the automatic process is still correct after the change.
