Better Packages BI-4

The Big Inch 4 dispenses up to 1" wide tape, and depending upon handle location, up to four different lengths of tape.  The machine is available in three different models.  One basic and two with slitters.  Select either a three strip slitter, or a four strip slitter.  The most popular is the four strip slitter model which allows for widths of tape in combinations depending upon the blade slitter engagement.

Four Strip Slitter model shown in picture.  The non slitter models only differ in the slitter mechanism and the "fixed" roll spindle attachment.
