Step-by-step instructions for use

1

Place the equipment on a firm surface

Use a level and clear table. Leave clear space at the output to take the strip without it rubbing against boxes, tools, or the edge of the table.

2

Fill the reservoir with clean water

Check that the reservoir and roller are clean before filling. Do not add solvents, detergents, or adhesives: the tape already contains starch that is activated with water.

3

Load and center the roll

Mount the roll with the adhesive side facing the moistening path. Center the 48 or 70 mm width and feed the end along the equipment's path to the output.

4

Adjust and test the strip

Set the required length for your box and dispense a test strip. Verify that it comes out straight, evenly moist, and long enough to cover the seam you are going to seal.

💡 Dodom Expert Tip:

Use a sample box to set the length at the start of each format. This reduces trimming, ensures consistent sealing, and helps detect uneven moistening before processing the entire batch.

5

Dispense, apply, and press

Operate the lever, grasp the strip by the ends, and immediately place it over the joint of the flaps. Press from the center outwards until the entire tape adheres to the cardboard.

Complementary products

The equipment supports all four variants of Dodom gummed tape: 48 or 70 mm, standard or reinforced.

Maintenance and care

Remove paper residue when finished. If the equipment will not be used soon, empty and rinse the reservoir, and clean the roller with water before the adhesive dries. Do not use solvents or sharp objects. Store the dispenser without wet tape in the path.

⚠️ Common mistake to avoid:

Do not leave water with adhesive residue for long periods. Accumulation can harden on the roller, leading to uneven moistening or jams.
