A tape gun, also known as a tape dispenser, is a handheld tool used to apply pressure-sensitive tape to a variety of surfaces. It typically consists of a plastic or metal housing, a serrated blade for cutting the tape, and a handle or trigger for dispensing it. Tape guns are commonly used for packaging, sealing boxes, and other applications where a strong, adhesive bond is required.
Tape guns offer several benefits over manual tape application. They allow for faster, more efficient taping, as the tape is dispensed and cut in one smooth motion. The serrated blade ensures a clean, precise cut, reducing the risk of tearing or fraying the tape. Additionally, tape guns provide a more ergonomic grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
