CURBY IPG Water-Activated Tape, 2.83" x 100M Refill Roll (4-Pack), Tan (CBIWAT)

We used to use poly tape. This is our 1st gum tape machine and I was a little concerned it was all plastic but have been using it daily for several months and it's an amazing machine. This is the only gum machine I've used, but absolutely love it. It's increased our packaging speed, gone through two rolls of tape, and still look like it just came out of the box. 10 outta 10!

The water activated tape that comes with the machine leaves much to be desired. You have to unroll the tape as it is otherwise sticking to itself and not able to go through the feed. After months of usage, I find the dispenser useless. I wasted a lot of tape simply because it kept getting stuck at the exit, even after troubleshooting it

For the price I didn't expect it to be this good given how much other manual dispensers are of this kind. But it works great and using the water activated tape is so much more fun now. Easy to load the tape and the glue is activated on the whole strip.

When you press the dispense button, it is fine for a little while but then the tape feed gets caught which causes a rip on the side and then extends the tape on the inside, which means you have to manually feed it through. We ended up stopping using the cutting mechanism and using scissors to cut instead to avoid the issue. We are now trying to replace the tape but at $75 a roll that is really too much. It doesn't work with the water activated tape we have in stock which is 50mm in width and a thinner product. The product description didn't specify this. Would really like a refund at this point!

Best paper tape I've ever used. This one actually sticks. Thanks
