Why Water-Activated Tape Dispensers Are More Productive
Speed and Efficiency: Unlike handheld tape guns, which require multiple strips of plastic tape for a secure seal, a water-activated tape (WAT) dispenser dispenses a single, perfectly measured, and moistened strip of tape. This allows for a one-pass sealing process, significantly reducing the time it takes to seal each box.
Reduced Labor and Repetitive Strain: The repetitive wrist motion required to use a tape gun for hours can lead to fatigue and repetitive stress injuries. A WAT dispenser automates the process of wetting and cutting the tape, minimizing physical strain and improving packer comfort and well-being.
Superior Adhesion and Security: WAT bonds directly to the carton's fibers, creating a strong, tamper-evident seal that cannot be peeled off without tearing the box. This provides better security against theft and damage compared to pressure-sensitive tapes, which can lift or peel away. This secure seal also prevents box breakage and product loss.
