Go Greener with the KT377 Manual Gum Tape Dispenser

Seal Smarter, Go Greener: Meet the KT377 Manual Gum Tape Dispenser

Looking for a simple, eco-conscious way to upgrade your packing station? The KT377 Manual Pull-and-Tear Gum Tape Dispenser is a powerful tool in a compact form—perfect for any warehouse, packaging line, or dispatch desk that values both efficiency and sustainability.

The Eco-Friendly Advantage: Ditch the Plastic with Gummed Paper Tape

If your business is still using plastic-based BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) tapes, it may be time to consider the switch to water-activated gummed paper tape. Here’s why:

  • Plastic-free: Gummed paper tape is made of kraft paper and a water-based adhesive, meaning it’s fully recyclable and biodegradable.
  • Tamper-evident seal: Once applied, the tape bonds securely to cardboard, providing a strong, professional seal that deters tampering.
  • Reinforced options available: When extra strength is needed, reinforced gummed tape with embedded fiberglass strands offers excellent durability.

Introducing the KT377: Simple, Durable, and Efficient

The KT377 is a manual pull-and-tear dispenser for water-activated gummed tapes up to 72mm wide. It’s ideal for:

  • Standard gummed paper tape
  • Reinforced gummed tape (wet-strength with glass fibre mesh)
  • Low- to medium-volume packing environments
  • Eco-conscious businesses who want a durable, low-maintenance solution

How It Works: No Electricity, No Fuss

The KT377 operates using a roller-type wetting system: simply pull the tape through the internal wet roller to activate the adhesive, then tear to length using the integrated blade. That’s it—no power, no noise, no complication.
