Wipe-down force is critical to achieve secure seals, especially as most packaging tapes are pressure-sensitive and require some amount of pressure to create a strong bond to the carton.

The Folded Edge hand dispenser is engineered with a wipe-down plate that provides pressure as tape is applied. This pressure drives the tape’s adhesive deep into the corrugated surface, producing a tamper-evident seal that shows visual evidence via fiber tear that the tape has been removed or tampered with.
