Better Packages is a leading manufacturer of water-activated tape dispensers and industrial packaging equipment, providing businesses with reliable solutions for faster, more secure carton sealing. For more than a century, Better Packages has been the industry standard for dispensing water-activated kraft paper tape, helping companies improve packaging efficiency while protecting products during shipping.
The company offers a complete line of manual and electric water-activated tape dispensers designed for operations of every size. Their electric dispensers feature programmable tape lengths, push-button operation, memory settings for frequently used tape sizes, and rugged construction for continuous daily use. These features help reduce packing time, improve consistency, and minimize material waste, making them ideal for high-volume shipping environments.
Unlike traditional plastic packing tape, water-activated tape (WAT) forms a permanent bond with corrugated cartons. This creates a stronger, tamper-evident seal that helps prevent theft, product damage, and accidental package openings during transit. Reinforced kraft paper tape also provides a clean, professional appearance and is fully recyclable with corrugated boxes, making it an environmentally friendly packaging solution for businesses focused on sustainability.

Supporting a Variety of Industries
Industries that benefit from water-activated tape equipment include e-commerce fulfillment distribution centers, manufacturing, third-party logistics (3PL), food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical, medical device, automotive, aerospace, and electronics manufacturers. Any business that ships products daily can improve packaging quality, increase productivity, and reduce packaging costs by using dependable case sealing equipment from Better Packages.
