tape dispenser

Sticky strip server

A tape dispenser is a device that holds a roll of adhesive tape and has a serrated edge for cutting pieces off.

Desktop models are weighted to stay put while you pull tape with one hand.

Handheld versions, often called tape guns, are used for sealing boxes: She loaded a fresh roll into the tape dispenser.
