Water-activated tape is great. It's sustainable, tamper-proof and economical. But dispensing it can be a little tricky. Should you lick every portion? Wear it into the shower? Run it down a water slide? Unless you wanted to spend a ton on a fancy dispensing unit, your options were fairly saliva-based. Until now.
This clever dispenser features a removable water chamber, which gives the tape a tiny bath as it glides over the fabric roller. It's simple to load, and can handle up to 250 metres worth of tape.
In the spirit of making products that last, the body is made of steel, and feels like a veritable tank. Seriously. You're going to take this thing to the grave. It's warehouse tough, but with thoughtful little rubber feet, so it stays put on any surface while you pack.

Best Tape Dispenser Ever!
I put off buying this for months because I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the $$ but after months of buying tapes I didn't like and wasting more $$ I finally decided to buy it. Oh how I wish I had of just got it first off! It is so easy to use. The tape sticks so well to the boxes and adds to the natural look! Love it!

Tape Dispenser FAQs
A WATD (if you will) operates exactly like a normal packing tape dispenser, except that there's a little water chamber just after the metal teeth. This chamber wets the tape for you, activating the stickiness.
According to a fancy study, WATDs used with WAT (if you will) was 21% more efficient than using handheld tape guns. And a lot more eco-friendly. So not only is better for the environment, you will have gained yourself 21% more Netflix time at the end of your work day.
Have a squiz at our handy instructional video above! You're doing great.
A steel dispenser with a removable water chamber that wets water activated tape as it feeds, holds up to 250 metres, and cuts to length. No sponge, no sink, no licking.
How it works
The tape passes over a fabric roller fed from a removable water chamber, picking up exactly enough water to activate the starch adhesive. Pull the length you want and cut. That's it.
250 metres loaded
It takes a full commercial roll โ up to 250m โ so you're not reloading mid-shift. The chamber lifts out for filling and cleaning without dismantling anything.
Steel, and it feels like it
The body is steel with rubber feet, so it stays put on any bench while you pack one-handed. It's warehouse tough rather than desk-tidy tough.
Is this a packaging tape machine?
Yes, in the sense people usually mean it โ a bench-mounted tape machine that wets, feeds and cuts. It's manual rather than motorised, so there's no power lead and nothing to service.
Do I really need a dispenser?
For a few parcels a week, a damp sponge does the job. Past that it becomes the slowest part of packing โ inconsistent wetting means weak seals, and tearing paper tape by hand is a two-hand operation. A dispenser fixes both.
Automatic or manual?
This is a manual pull-and-cut unit. Fully automatic water activated tape dispensers exist and cost several times as much; for most ecommerce volumes this does the same job for a fraction of it.
