Tape dispenser

Better Packages (Shelton, CT) has introduced two new gummed tape dispensers. With a single stroke, the BP 333 manual tape dispenser can dispense tape measuring from 1.5" to 3" W in lengths up to 30".

The BP 555S has a heating element that moistens the tape glue for a full-coverage wetting pattern. A Code Taper--with self-inking, self-aligning distribution rolls--can be attached to print product, date and lot information, as well as customized messages.
