WELSTIK Water Activated Gummed Kraft Paper Tape Packaging Dispenser 3 Inch for Shipping, Carton and Box Sealing, Pink

I like that it came in pink because my shop is bright and colorful. Easy to use and it should do the job. I had a large double roll and it holds it just fine. I didn't even know these types of dispensers existed. So much better than getting a sponge and keeping a bowl of water on hand!

The tape dispenser is great and I love the color. Unfortunately due to the size of the tape that I am required to use, I can not keep it. In the future I will transition the tape size in order to use it. It's very sturdy and I love the color.

I'm just dipping my toes into gummed tape for packaging and needed something better than a handheld sponge for wetting the tape. This thing sure does the job. It's not perfect, being unable to really keep the tape centered, but for what it cost, I can't complain. If you just need to do a little tape dispensing like I do, this is the way to go. Just make sure you do mount this down to a plank or something so it doesn't move around when tearing. It's so light, it will move!

I've been using this for a year now. I pack 1-5 boxes per day. My main issue is that the wetting sponge doesn't always wet the tape enough to stick, so I have to keep a wet sponge next to it to wet the tape manually after tearing it off the roll when the roller sponge misses spots. Make sure the reservoir is full enough to fully wet the roller. It's a very lightweight plastic dispenser, so it also moves around and requires 2 hands - one to hold the dispenser in place and the other to tear the tape. It's not heavy enough to just tear the tape without holding the dispenser. Lastly, the tape doesn't stay aligned on the spool, so it's often crooked, and the cutter bar doesn't hold the tape in place so it often spools back and falls out from the cutter and has to be re-threaded. It's cute and pink and inexpensive, so that's nice. But it's definitely consumer grade for light usage.

I use it all the time for my water-activated tape that was custom-printed with my brand logo. This is an indepensable piece in my office. It's heavy enough to not require nailing into the table. Get it.

The whole point of this device is to moisten the tape as it dispenses it. It needs to moisten the whole piece of tape or you’ll have a spot that doesn’t stick and can become a place the whole tape can peel off from. It does okay at that. Not great. And you need to have the water filled to the brim and make sure you keep the tape taught against the roller sponge. And you will occasionally have to moisten a dry part of the tape with a sprayer or sponge by hand.

Super easy to use. Makes using kraft paper tape much easier. Just what we needed for closing boxes.

I love this tape dispenser! Its a must for a small business who uses water activated tape. Good quality

My old metal one got rusted (because of water) and very $$$$$ This one is a lot less and works totally fine.

It does exactly what is supposed to do.

cheap crap, broke within a week. so annoying

This handy product was exactly as described in details. Shipped fast, arrived fast. Works as intended.

The tape keeps moving to one side when pulling out. Had to trial a few times before actually getting it to work. Not the best but better then doing it by hand.
