Over the years Start International has taken the standard M1000 and modified it to handle an assortment of different types of pressure sensitive tapes and materials. Below are 6 different variations of the dispenser. The best way to determine the best unit is to fill out a material evaluation sheet and forward it to our offices for testing.

Looking for a faster way to use PVC tapes to seal cartons? We recommend either using tape guns or automatic case sealers. If you try to use a counter top automatic dispenser like the M1000 for taping boxes, the tape is too difficult to handle and will stick to everything once dispensed. If you are looking to speed up your operation, we recommend using a gummed tape dispenser. Overall they are faster and you only need ONE piece of tape to seal the flaps.
