- A tape dispenser is a handheld or desktop tool designed to hold a roll of adhesive tape and allow for easy cutting and dispensing. It typically features a central spindle to hold the tape roll and a serrated cutting edge for clean tape cuts. Tape dispensers are commonly used in offices, schools, warehouses, and homes for packaging, sealing, or general-purpose sticking tasks. They come in various sizes and styles, from lightweight plastic models to heavy-duty versions with weighted bases for one-handed use.
