Equipped with a pistol grip, core support for the packing tape, roller wheel for dispensing, a cutting blade, and a paddle for sticking the tape down – but how do tape dispenser guns work?
- Ensure the non-adhesive outside part of the tape is against the roller
- Open the tape and ensure the adhesive side is the same side as the pistol grip
- Slot the tape onto the core
- Open the metal dispenser gate and feed some of the tape through
- Pull the excess tape off to give you a clean edge to start taping
- Hold the tape gun to side of the box
- Pull up and over the cardboard box edges that need sealing together
- Press the paddle against the box and break the tape for a clean finish
