Semi-Automatic Case Sealers Enhance Package Security and Safety with Gummed Tape and Various Options

Shelton, CT, September 2005 -- Better Packagesthe number-one trusted name in water-activated tape dispensers and carton sealers for over 85 yearsprovides two models of its semi-automatic case sealer, the BP Sealmaster 3000, for quickly sealing same-sized cases with water-activated (gummed) tape. The standard CS model seals at a rate of 15 cartons per minute, while the AFF model features an additional automatic flap folder, which folds incoming flaps to reduce labor and process time.

The BP Sealmaster 3000 CS and AFF models can be incorporated into virtually any production line, and both are designed for ease of use and feature a push-button operator panel. Side wheel guides prevent the cartons from tipping while unique urethane rollers with articulated bearings enhance the tape application at the critical shoulder areas, providing a superior seal. Productivity is further enhanced with the AFFs auto flap folder feature.

About Water-Activated Tape

Water-activated tape, or gummed tape, offers security and strength benefits that other sealing methods do not. For example, unlike plastic pressure-sensitive tape, which can be easily removed and replaced leaving little or no trace of tampering, Water-activated tape bonds with the carton and produces a tamper-evident, secure seal. Manufacturers, food and drug companies and government agencies, including the US Postal Service and the FBI, recognize the benefits of using water-activated tape as a simple, cost-effective means to help protect the contents of their packages from tampering and thievery. Water-activated tape also reinforces the strength of cartons containing heavy or bulky items.
