At first I couldn't figure this out either, but then I realized it was too simple... You don't load the tape through anything as it appears. Simply put the tape on sticky side down. It runs under the roller. I have no problems using just one hand to do this. You just have to twist your hand a bit when you are ready to cut it. (rather than trying to go straight down, in which you use extra tape as someone else mentioned) Although, I had some of the earlier mentioned issues at first, once I figured it out, it's so easy. Hope that helps. I think the clear plastic piece just acts as a guard. Could do without it, but I'm sure it's requried for safety.

Tape Dispenser Does Not Work

Tape dispenser is very hard to use. Tape does not glide easily over surface. Tape gets twisted when trying to cut it. Resorted to using a cheaper brand. Would like to return tape ...Read complete review

Comments about Staples® 3" Packaging Tape Dispenser Kit:

The one I purchased was not the one on the website. Mine was red. The pictured dispenser above is obviously blue. No one could figure out how to load it. The tape that came with it would cut about half way then just tear the rest of the way off. (flimsy) I cut myself twice trying to figure it out. I took it back two days later. Not your number one product.

          It doesn't come with instructions which is bad but it makes you think which is good...or do some research, read the reviews. Slide the tape under the black roller piece sticky part down and that's it. Easy to use with one hand.

          Comments about Staples® 3" Packaging Tape Dispenser Kit:

          i found it very difficult to use, and end up using more tape than i really need. and really who wants to waste this expensive costly tape, the tape actually sticks to the metal latch. (the worse issue!) you have to baby it, roll tape back to not waste extra tape. the tension knob constantly loosens, it's also very heavy for a woman to handle, maybe i need alot more practice, lol. perhaps more practical for commerical larger businesses, but not for daily shipping labels

          • Q:

            This question was answered twice already but I STILL don't follow. How do you load the dispenser? The pdf diagram shows the tape flowing under the large roller and just hanging there. The second answer seems to say the same thing. Isn't there supposed to be more than that? How does the tape get to the blade? Please be more thorough.

              A:

              You would put the roll on sticky side down, then pull the tape past the guide.

            We purchase this item recently but there are no instructions on how to load the tape onto it! Very confusing!

              See the loading instructions tab on this sku 394929. As per the photo, the tape should be loaded sticky side down
