If you're currently using handheld tape guns to apply plastic pressure-sensitive tape to your cartons, you should know that Better Pack 555e Series dispensers can help improve the productivity and ergonomics at your packaging workstations. For the maximum level of carton sealing automation, upgrade the Better Pack 555eSA with an Automatic Measuring Device (AMD).

The Better Pack 555e Series Pressure Sensitive tape dispensers were extensively tested and put through more than 1.5 million cycles without any defects. It is the only electronic water activated tape dispenser in the industry that is UL Approved and Listed. We are so confident of its performance that we've backed it with the best warranty in our industry!

Performance Features A color-coded keypad dispenses preset lengths of WAT, so there's no more awkward reaching and stretching around the box with a tape gun. SGS Tests 134992-1 and 149698 show that sealing cartons using the 555 requires less time than applying plastic tape with a hand gun. Adding the AMD automatic measuring device requires even less time. In fact, 28% less time!
