Better Packages BP333 Plus With Heater – Manual Water Activated Tape Dispenser for Cold or Demanding Environments
The Better Packages BP333 Plus With Heater is built for operations that want the strength of water activated tape and need consistent adhesion in cooler or challenging environments. It combines the proven mechanical design of the standard BP333 with a factory top heater that warms the tape as it passes over the moistening brushes. The result is faster tack, more reliable bonding on recycled or dusty corrugate, and improved performance in cold warehouses.
If you are upgrading from handheld plastic tape guns and want a professional grade gummed tape dispenser without jumping straight to an electric machine, this is the top of the manual lineup. For higher volumes, the next step up is the electric Better Pack 555e. For small to mid volume pack stations that need better adhesion in colder conditions, the BP333 Plus With Heater is the right tool.
Why Operators Choose the BP333 With Heater
- Integrated top heater: Warms the tape surface at the brushes to activate adhesive faster in cool environments.
- Reliable mechanical design: Same steel frame, drive system, and guillotine blade as the standard BP333 for long service life.
- Two brush moistening system: Provides even wetting so the tape bonds fully to the carton.
- Simple length control: Mechanical feed stop locks every 2 inches from 4 to 30 inches.
- Easy to service: All wear parts are user replaceable, and we stock the full parts list.
- High capacity water bottle: 46 oz bottle reduces refill frequency and keeps moisture consistent.
Where the Heater Makes a Difference
The heater is most valuable when:
- Your warehouse or packing area runs cool or drafty for most of the year.
- You use heavier reinforced tape on double wall or recycled corrugate.
- You want the tape to grab and stay put quickly on the first pass.
The heater replaces the weighted top plate on the standard BP333 and plugs into a standard 115V outlet. Water in the tank does not need to be hot out of the bottle. The heater warms the tape at the point of contact with the brushes so the adhesive activates quickly where it matters.
Compatible Tapes
The BP333 Plus With Heater works with the same water activated tapes as the standard BP333. It accepts reinforced and non reinforced gummed tapes from 1.5 to 3 inches wide. For most customers we recommend:

If you want the machine to ship with a free maintenance kit, be sure to select the maintenance kit option before adding the BP333 to your cart. The kit includes a bottle of Dawn dish soap for cleaning the moistening brushes, a bottle of Zoom Spout oil for lightly oiling the back of the cutting blade, a small paint brush for brushing away tape dust, and a wire brush for scrubbing under the heater to prevent adhesive buildup. These simple tools make routine maintenance fast and help extend the life of the dispenser.
