Tape Application Machines
Automatic tape application machines for cartons, corrugated packaging, envelopes and mailing bags, with configurations to suit your materials and production requirements.
Protek's Tape Application Machines
Protek’s tape application machines bring material handling and tape placement together in one production platform. Our KQ range includes compact machines, systems with automatic feeding correction, and larger platforms for corrugated packaging and high-volume production. Different applicator heads allow the equipment to be configured for double-sided, transparent or tear tape.
Automatic Tape Application for Packaging Production
Tape application machines feed packaging materials through a controlled conveying system and apply tape at the required positions. This helps manufacturers produce repeatable sealing, bonding and opening features across successive products.
The machine and applicator heads are selected together, taking account of the packaging dimensions, tape type and application pattern. Suitable configurations can process printed cartons, corrugated boxes, envelopes, mailing bags and gift packaging.
Choosing the Right Tape Application Machine
Protek’s KQ range offers different machine layouts for different production needs.
The B-Series provides a platform for a variety of packaging applications. The C-Series adds feeding correction to help align materials before tape application. The U-Series is designed for corrugated packaging, including e-commerce cartons, while the L-Series uses an extended, heavy-duty layout for larger production installations.
Depending on the selected machine, configurations can include multiple tape heads, glue application and release-paper equipment. The right combination depends on your packaging format, required output, available floor space and integration with other machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What packaging can tape application machines process?
Depending on the model and configuration, tape application machines can process cartons, corrugated packaging, envelopes, mailing bags and gift boxes. Material size, thickness and feeding requirements should be checked against the selected machine.
Can one machine apply different types of tape?
A machine can be configured with applicator heads for different tape types, including double-sided, transparent and tear tape. Changing the tape type may require a different head or additional equipment, so compatibility should be confirmed for each application.
What information do I need when choosing a tape application machine?
The key details are your packaging material and dimensions, tape type and width, application positions, required output and available floor space. Protek can use this information to discuss a suitable machine, feeding arrangement and applicator configuration.
