Better Pack 555eLA
Why Choose the Better Pack 555eLA?
The Better Pack 555eLA is an electric water-activated tape dispenser (also known as a paper tape dispenser, gummed or gum tape water-activated tape dispenser) made for fast-paced shipping and packaging environments.
The “L” in the dispenser’s name stands for “Long” and the BP555eLA is differentiated from the BP555eSA by its ability to dispense long tape lengths—up to 90 inches—with the touch of a button. The Better Pack 555eLA tape machine is calibrated in inches and has a voltage of 115V.
The “A” represents an Automatic Tape Advance feature, which means that once a piece of tape is removed from the dispenser, another automatically advances. The Better Pack 555eLA has the highest level of automation available from the Better Pack dispenser family. A microprocessor based control system can be interfaced with PC’s, printers, shipping systems, and foot pedals for the ultimate carton sealing solution.

This dispenser is part of a series of dispensers configured to be used throughout the world.
