FAQs
What is the maximum tape width this dispenser can hold?
The dispenser is designed for tapes up to 2.5 cm (approximately 1 inch) wide.
Does the dispenser come with tape?
No, the tape is not included with the PENCO Tape Dispenser. You will need to provide your own tape roll.
How do I prepare the dispenser for first use?
Before using, carefully remove the blue protective film from the blade part. Then, insert your tape roll.
What are the dimensions of the dispenser?
The main unit dimensions are 15.2 cm (length) x 7.8 cm (width) x 3.5 cm (height).
What is the purpose of the non-slip sheet?
The non-slip sheet helps to keep the dispenser stable on surfaces during use and also protects the surface from friction.
Is the non-slip sheet permanent?
The included non-slip sheet is described as a simple protective film and may wear down or peel off depending on usage.
What is the maximum outer diameter of a tape roll that fits?
The dispenser can accommodate tape rolls with an outer diameter of up to 9.6 cm (approximately 3.8 inches).
Troubleshooting
Tape does not cut cleanly.
Ensure the blue protective film has been fully removed from the blade. Check that the tape is properly aligned with the cutting edge. Clean any residue from the blade.
Dispenser slides on the surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. The non-slip base may be less effective on very dusty or wet surfaces. If the non-slip sheet itself is worn, consider replacement.
Tape roll does not fit.
Verify the width of your tape is not more than 2.5 cm and the outer diameter of the roll is not larger than 9.6 cm.
The non-slip sheet is peeling off.
The non-slip sheet is a protective film and may wear over time. You can re-adhere it if possible, or continue using the dispenser without it if it remains stable, or find a suitable replacement sheet.
