Box Taper Machines

What is a Box Taper Machine? 

A box taper machine is a type of equipment used to automatically seal the top and bottom flaps of a box with tape. The machine typically consists of a tape dispenser, which applies a strip of adhesive tape to the flaps of the box, and a pair of pressure-sensitive rollers that press the tape onto the box. Box taper machines are often used in warehouses and shipping facilities to quickly and efficiently seal boxes for shipping. They can also be used to seal boxes for storage. Some of the features that differentiates the machine is speed, size of the box it can handle, and the type of tape it can use, some machine are semi-automatic and require manual feed of the box while others can be fully automatic where it connects to the conveyor and pick the boxes automatically.
