Find the Right Tape Dispenser for Home, Work, or School
There are many dispenser options that fit various styles and purposes. Disposable dispensers are plastic with a serrated edge for separating tape pieces. These dispensers are perfect for on-the-go use. In an office or classroom, reusable dispensers are a convenient solution. These dispensers generally fit any standard rolls.

Stay Stocked With Tape Refills
Refill rolls gives users an easy way to tackle craft projects, mailings, and documents. Rolls typically have a small opaque piece of paper at the end, allowing users to quickly peel off one piece of tape and put the roll in the dispenser. Choose rolls specifically designed to work with your dispenser of choice to enjoy clean tape tears every time. Refills come in a variety of package sizes, providing options for occasional users and those who reach for the dispenser every day.

Compare Matte and Shiny Tape Options
Matte and shiny roll options both have advantages. Shiny double sided tape has a slight gloss to it, offering a smooth finish and high clarity. Glossy options are ideal for daily use. Matte tape has a flat finish. It appears to seal fully to paper, creating a seamless transition. Matte rolls are considerably more durable than glossy options, so they’re optimal for important mailings and documentation.

Which Tape Is Ideal for Packages?
Seal packages, attach mailing labels and add extra protection to envelope edges with clear adhesive. Standard adhesives are sufficient for white and manila envelopes, but consider heavy-duty packing tape for envelopes with important documents or checks. Heavy-duty packing options are useful for boxes, whether you’re packing for a move or sending deliveries in the mail. This adhesive is wider than standard rolls, so users need fewer pieces to fully seal a package. It is also slightly thicker than other adhesive options. This feature protects against unintentional rips.

Does Tape Have Any Bulk Ordering Options?
Offices, shipping companies, schools, and other businesses go through a lot of tape on a daily basis. Bulk ordering options make it easy to stay fully stocked and avoid delays in daily work. Standard packages include between four and twelve rolls of duct tape. Bulk packages have between 48 and 72 rolls. Consider the length of each roll while stocking. Most rolls have between 300 and 1,000 feet of adhesive.

What Features Are Available on Different Types of Tape?
Some types of matte masking tape are optimal for labeling purposes. Their smooth surface absorbs ink, permitting users to label packages or items without any risk of smearing. Another option to consider is double-sided tape. This offers the strong bond of standard tape without visible edges. Specialized gift wrap adhesive disappears on most types of wrapping paper.
