Stop Hand-Taping! Automatic Double-Sided Tape Applicator Heads for Folder Gluers

Hi everyone,

If your shop is still manually applying double-sided tape or tear tape to e-commerce boxes, POS displays, or custom envelopes, you already know it’s a massive bottleneck. Manual application is not only incredibly labor-intensive, but human fatigue also leads to inconsistent pressure and weaker adhesive bonds.

To solve this, we’ve engineered the Automatic Tape Applicator Heads at Kylin Machines. This is designed specifically for print finishers and packaging manufacturers who want to automate their taping process without the heavy capital expense of buying an entirely new specialty machine line.


These applicator heads are modular and built to be easily retrofitted directly onto your existing folder gluers, conveyors, or custom transport systems.

Why Add an Automated Tape Head?

  • Easy Integration (Retrofit-Friendly): Mounts seamlessly onto your current finishing equipment to instantly add automatic taping capabilities to an existing workflow.
  • Consistent, Immediate Pressure: The machine applies the tape with precise, uniform mechanical force. This activates pressure-sensitive adhesives perfectly every time, eliminating the weak spots, peeling, or bubbling common with manual hand-taping.
  • High-Speed Throughput: It operates continuously and matches your machine speeds, drastically increasing your pieces-per-hour output and completely removing the manual taping bottleneck.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for running double-sided tape, tear-strip tape, or silicone release liners on corrugated e-commerce boxes, folding cartons, and luxury packaging.
  • Reduce Labor Costs: Frees up 2-3 operators from tedious hand-taping stations so they can be reallocated to higher-value tasks on the floor.
If you’re looking to speed up your throughput and improve consistency, you can check out the full specifications and see how these heads integrate into production lines here: Kylin Machines - Automatic Tape Applicator Heads
