Water Activated Tape Dispensers
Reliable Tape Application Tools for Secure & Sustainable Packaging
What is a Water Activated Tape Dispenser?
A Water Activated Tape Dispenser is a handheld or powered tool designed to moisten and apply water activated tape (gummed paper tape) onto cardboard boxes. The dispenser wets the adhesive on the tape, activating it for a permanent, tamper-evident bond with the carton surface. Available in manual hand-held models for low-volume packaging and electric models for high-volume operations.
Unlike pressure-sensitive tape dispensers, water activated tape dispensers ensure proper adhesive activation for maximum seal strength and security.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between manual and electric water activated tape dispensers?
Manual dispensers use a hand crank to feed tape and require the user to control the application speed. Electric dispensers use a motor for consistent, hands-free tape feeding, reducing operator fatigue during high-volume use. Electric models are better suited for production environments while manual models offer portability and lower cost.
What width of water activated tape can these dispensers use?
Both our manual and electric water activated tape dispensers accommodate standard tape widths of 50mm (2 inches) and 75mm (3 inches). Some models offer adjustable width settings for different tape sizes.
Do I need electricity for the electric dispenser?
Yes, the electric water activated tape dispenser requires a standard electrical outlet. Most models operate on 220V single-phase power. Please check your facility’s power availability before ordering.
Can I use any brand of water activated tape with these dispensers?
Our dispensers are compatible with most standard water activated tapes in 50mm and 75mm widths. For optimal performance, we recommend using our high-quality water activated tape products.
