Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a tape gun?
A tape gun (also known as a tape dispenser) is a handheld tool designed to quickly and securely apply packing tape to cartons and parcels. It combines a roll holder, tension control, and built-in cutting blade, making it faster and easier to seal boxes compared to applying tape by hand.
What size of tape gun do I need?
We sell 2″ and 3″ tape guns. The size of the tape gun required is dependant on the core size of tape. 48mm width tape requires a 2″ gun and 72mm width tape requires a 3″ gun. Always check the width of your tape roll to ensure compatibility.
Are tape guns universal?
Tape guns are designed to match the width of the tape roll. A 2″ tape dispenser will only work with 2″/48mm rolls, and a 3″ tape dispenser with 3″/72mm rolls.
Do tape guns work with any kind of tape?
Yes, as long as the roll size matches the corresponding core width. Stronger adhesives and reinforced materials may require slightly more tension adjustment.
Are tape guns adjustable for tension?
Yes. Our hand tape dispensers feature an adjustable tension knob, allowing you to control how tightly the tape unwinds. This prevents tape waste and makes it easier to apply tape smoothly to cartons.
What are the benefits of using a tape gun?
A box sealing gun makes packing:
- Faster – speeds up carton sealing in warehouses and e-commerce operations.
- Stronger – ensures tape is applied evenly and pressed down for a secure seal.
- Safer – includes a guarded blade to cut tape cleanly without scissors or knives.
- Cost-effective – reduces tape waste compared to manual application.
Do you sell heavy duty or ergonomic tape guns?
Yes. All of our tape guns are heavy duty and ergonomically designed to reduce strain during high-volume packing. These dispensers are built for durability and long-term reliability in fast-moving warehousing environments.
Can I buy tape guns in bulk?
Yes. We offer bulk purchase options, making it easy for warehouses, fulfilment centres, and retailers to equip multiple packing stations at best value.
