Tape Machine — Specifications & Handling
Internal · Updated June 2026
What this article covers
Specifications, capabilities, and handling instructions for the tape machine. The tape machine is used for applying adhesive tape to signs as part of the production process.
Important
- If an order will be processed through the tape machine → always add to Slack Special List.
- Communicate tape machine settings and requirements to Pack — especially if precision of tape placement is critical.
Capabilities
The tape machine has two heads, allowing it to either double the output or handle two different tasks simultaneously. It is possible to set different intervals for the tape strips — for example, covering the full length of the sign or applying 5 mm of tape every 10 mm. The exact margin in millimeters from start to stop can be configured.
Since the distance from the edge depends on the feeding position, this must be communicated to Pack if precision is critical. Specific settings can be saved for repeat customers (e.g. Herbox and Systeko).
