HELMOND, The Netherlands (June 23, 2025) –  Cyklop has recently introduced its next generation LAPOMATIC gummed paper tape dispenser for global packaging customers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in a wide range of industry sectors. Cyklop offers three models of the LAPOMATIC 2.0 tape dispenser:  foot pedal-operated, battery-operated, and printer-compatible.

The LAPOMATIC 2.0  tape dispenser offers these and many other benefits:  

• Cost savings -- The adjustable pressure plate ensures the correct use of all types of water activated tape available on the market, without any risk of jamming, reducing waste and cost.
• Safety – The 24 volts DC motor, top heater and control circuits makes this machine the quietest and safest machine in the taping market.
• Flexibility for use with all types of gummed paper tape -- The variable water level and the large moistening brush ensure smooth and non-stop operation with any type of water-activated tape - whether light or heavy duty. 
• Accuracy in the calculation of tape length  -- The motorized cutting system and motor control functions provided via a customized program allows for a cutting tolerance of approximately 4 mm.
• Sharp, concise cutting -- Various treatments including hardening and grinding allow the sharp knives embedded in the tape dispenser to cut precisely across the entire 20 cm surface area of the tape width.

“We have designed the new LAPOMATIC 2.0 for continuous use. It features a water resistant, touch-sensitive control panel and it is quiet and safe to operate. In fact, it is one of the quietest and safest tape dispensers available for packaging and shipping applications. It is also the only tape dispenser on the market with the capacity to hold and dispense 200mm wide tape. This is double the width of our earlier version of the LAPOMATIC dispenser which we debuted in 2008,” commented Ina Iatcov, a Cyklop product manager based in Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. 

Additional Benefits 

Iatcov explained that paper tape is the preferred environmentally friendly solution for closing cardboard and corrugated paper boxes.

“Paper tape is available in both a self-adhesive format and a gummed paper format. Gummed paper tape sticks to a box’s surface only after the adhesive layer is activated with water. This is why a special paper tape dispenser is required for application. After use, both the packaging box and the tape can be recycled,” Iatcov said.

It is suitable for closing large quantities of boxes with gummed paper tape and reduces tape waste and labor time with single-strip application and programmable tape lengths.

Because all corrosion-sensitive parts are polished or galvanized, Cyklop’s customers can enjoy the benefits of longer use and lower maintenance requirements. This means customers can expect additional benefits of longer product lifetime and low maintenance.
