Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product is a roll of packing tape and requires a tape dispenser for application. Simply insert the tape roll into your compatible tape dispenser, ensuring the sticky side faces outwards, and thread the tape end through the cutting mechanism.
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard handheld tape dispensers. The tape adheres well to common packaging materials such as cardboard, paper, and some plastics. Avoid use on surfaces that may be damaged by adhesive.
Care:
Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive quality. Ensure the tape is covered by the dispenser's flap when not in use to prevent dust and debris from collecting on the adhesive.
