Folded-edge hand dispenser crafted for manual carton sealing applications. The tape dispenser folds both edges of the tape as it is applied to create a more reliable, secure case seal that doesn't require a knife to open. Improved wipe-down force as tape is applied to produce tamper-evident case seals. Retractable/pivoting safety blade shields users from accidental contact. Visible tape length indicators provide tab length control and reduced tape consumption. Visible markers provide single-strip, straight taping guidance.
