A Manco tape dispenser is an invaluable tool for any retail business that has to send packages. When working properly, a tape dispenser can speed up the time it takes to pack and seal boxes. There is no fumbling with a roll of tape involved, especially when the tape sticks to the roll or splits down the middle. Loading tape onto the dispenser should take only a minute or two.
-
Remove the old and empty cardboard roll from the tape dispenser.
-
Lay the tape dispenser on a flat surface, with the roller and teeth pointing left.
-
Insert a new roll of tape.
-
Pull about 3 inches of the tape off the roll.
-
Thread the tape through the roller and teeth so that the tape is taut and not slack. The dispenser should now be ready to use.
