We sell tape. Every box we ship is sealed with tape. Almost every box we ship contains tape. Sometimes it seems like we live and breathe tape.
Still, for some reason we have trouble making the boxes that leave our loading dock every afternoon look like we even know how to use tape.
A lengthy discussion with our fulfillment manager opened my eyes to something about carton sealing tape that I had never thought about before.
Our fullfillment manager is left handed and he pointed out to me how it is almost impossible for a lefty to use a standard carton sealing tape gun. I was concerned about how our boxes looked sloppy, with stretched, crooked tape beads and ragged cuts. After watching our fullfillment manager battle with a conventional tape gun, I realized how hard it was to meet the sort of standard I wanted to see in our carton sealing.
A quick Ebay search turned up a tape gun designed for left handed use. We ordered it and the problem was immediately solved. I am looking for a good source for this item so that we can add it to the selection of carton sealing guns we already offer.
