The Start International ZCM1000 automatically dispenses and cuts predefined lengths of pressure sensitive tape. It is ideal industrial applications such as manufacturing or assembly that require consistent, repetitive taping. Programmable lengths can be automatically dispensed, or push-button fed & cut. A guillotine-style cut ensures a straight edge piece of tape. An adjustable pressure roller accommodates various tape thicknesses.
Over the years, Start International has taken the standard dispenser and modified it to handle an assortment of different types of pressure sensitive tapes and materials. The ZCM1000 series dispensers are offered in a range of models that fit a wide variety of tape dispensing applications. The best way to determine which unit is best for you is to fill out a material evaluation sheet and ship a sample roll of material to us for testing.

Note: We recommend removing the tape from the dispenser at the end of every shift. Some adhesives become more aggressive the longer they are stuck on the rollers. This will help minimize tape jams and keep your dispenser cleaner.
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 the M1000 for taping boxes, the tape is too difficult to handle and sticks to everything once dispensed. If you are looking to speed up your operation, use a gummed tape dispenser.
The M1000 set the standard for quality, and other tape dispensers joined in to mimic and copy. How to tell the difference? Check for the Start Hologram Label to ensure you get the REAL M1000. Made in Japan.
