- The side handle, which is the main one in the design, provides the master with comfortable work. To do this, some manufacturers trim it with rubber.
- The upper handle has an internal thread and acts as an auxiliary handle.
- Clamping plug for a roll of tape, adhesive tape or film.
There are a huge number of models and varieties of hand holders that can be used both for production purposes and at home.

High-quality packaging is necessary for many organizations, including postal services, the grocery industry, and various cargo transportation services. Even the average office often requires such a unit.
The tape dispenser is one of the simple inventions that has made packing work much easier. In addition to convenience, there is another unobvious advantage of dispensers - saving material.

How the dispenser works
A dispenser for 50 mm adhesive tape, one of the popular varieties for manual packaging, involves putting a roll on an axle. There is a wide base at the bottom to support the reel, and a plug is attached to the top. Depending on the type and model, the plug may be pressed with an auxiliary handle.
Due to the fact that you can often find rolls of floating adhesive tape ranging from 450 to 500mm wide, the adjustable sliding design will prove to be a very convenient find to use.

Only the design of the first type will be much simpler, shorter, without additional parts and elements, such as an upper handle or an additional plug. Therefore, during the work process, difficulties and malfunctions can often arise, such as the roll jumping off the axis.
