How many times a day do you or your staff use a tape dispenser? Dispensers are indispensable at the average packing table and can significantly lighten and speed up packing work. But what if it could be even lighter, and above all more ergonomic? The solution is the ZeroTape: an innovative tape dispenser with an unprecedentedly unique design. Ready for a new way of packaging? Read on below and find out how you too can benefit from this new tool.
1. ZeroTape, what exactly is it?
ZeroTape® is an innovative solution to stick your tape to a box in a truly ergonomic way. This unique tape dispenser was developed in Germany. The inventors worked together with the Department of Ergonomics at the University of Siegen (North Rhine-Westphalia).
Its remarkable shape was carefully composed to ensure maximum ergonomics in use. The result is a dispenser that puts less strain on your muscles and joints. Because that is precisely where problems often arise when unrolling tape. Below, we explain the advantages of the ZeroTape in detail.
At RAJA, we are always looking for solutions and products to help our customers even better. We often heard from clients that they experienced physical complaints when closing their boxes because they always had to perform the same action. In our search for a solution, we then came across ZeroTape. After the first tests at RAJA, we were soon convinced of the advantages of this unique unwinder.
2. What advantages does the Zerotape dispenser offer?
This ZeroTape® dispenser has been 100% designed with ease of use and ergonomics in mind. At 355 grams, it is a true lightweight. Did you know that this makes it up to half as light as a typical tape dispenser? Add to that its special shape, and you have a dispenser that can reduce your muscle activity during unrolling by 25%.
Research also showed that the strain in your wrists, arms and shoulders is 75% lower than with standard dispensers. This can drastically reduce the risk of work-related physical complaints. From an ergonomic point of view, this tape dispenser can make work for your packers significantly lighter and easier.
As an extra, this dispenser also features a ventilated handle. These holes in the handle mean your hands are less likely to be warm and clammy. This contributes to pleasant use of the dispenser for longer periods of time. Moreover, the frame ensures that your tape is well protected. Suppose your dispenser slips out of your hands and falls to the ground… With a conventional dispenser, you run the risk of your tape breaking and being damaged in the fall. Fortunately, the ZeroTape’s frame prevents all this.
Would you like to replace the blade or the spatula over time? Then you can do so very easily, completely without a screwdriver or other tools. In this, the ZeroTape offers an additional advantage over other unwinders. Finally, we should also mention the brake in the tape holder. With that brake, you can secure the tape properly and prepare it for use (without the risk of wrinkles or air bubbles). Together, this ensures that the ZeroTape could be the perfect solution for you to handle large quantities of parcels and orders on a daily basis.

At first glance, using the ZeroTape® dispenser is similar to using standard dispensers. However, the way you hold the ZeroTape dispenser makes the big difference. Thanks to its special shape, you can always operate the dispenser with a stretched wrist. And that stretched wrist makes a world of difference to the strain on your joints and muscles.
- Apply the tape to your box without folding or straining your wrist.
- Roll out the tape by moving directly over the surface of the box.
- Finally, cut the tape without folding or straining your wrist.

4. Which tape can I use with this dispenser?
The ZeroTape® is not just about ergonomics. Autonomy also plays a role. And that autonomy is guaranteed by the unique compatible tape. Let’s take a closer look at that…
A roll of ZeroTape has a much smaller core (only 35 mm) compared to standard rolls of tape. Just because of that small core, a roll can hold up to 150 metres of tape. This is the case, for example, for the ZeroTape made of polypropylene. Result? You can last up to three times longer with the same roll. So you lose much less time changing rolls.
Finally, we zoom in on the durability of a roll of ZeroTape. The smaller core, in combination with the longer tape, also reduces storage volume and residual waste. The more tape that fits on 1 roll, the fewer rolls are ultimately needed. This makes the ZeroTape an excellent tool for making the switch to a sustainable, reliable and, above all, ergonomic solution for your packaging process. Ready to get started yourself?
With ZeroTape, we want to go a step further than just being a packaging supplier. We want to offer a concrete solution for the well-being of everyone working in industry, e-commerce or retail. Ergonomics is as important to many of our customers as speed and efficiency. Zerotape can do perfect justice to that ergonomics. It offers a real solution for a multitude of companies, undoubtedly including you!
