The START International ZCM0300 manual tape dispenser with hand lever advances and cuts predefined tape lengths and is suitable for repetitive taping in low production environments. Cut lengths of 0.50 to 4″ (13 to 102 mm) can be set with an adjustment on the lever. Each tape length is then advanced by pulling the hand lever. The operator cuts the tape by pulling it up and across the serrated blade. This dispenser accepts tape rolls in widths from 0.25 to 1″ (6 to 25 mm) with an outside roll diameter of up to 4.75″ (120 mm), and has a 3″ (76 mm) roll core holder. The ZCM0300 has a heavy base that provides stability. 

Tape dispensers hold and cut tape. They are used in manufacturing, assembly, and packaging.  Most tape dispensers work with pressure-sensitive tapes, such as transparent office tape, packing tape, or strapping tape. Gummed tape dispensers, also known as water-activated tape dispensers, work with water-activated adhesive tape. These dispensers moisten each piece of tape as it is dispensed.
