Abstract

A tape dispensing unit (10), feeding tear tapes (12,13), to a continuous portion of packaging material (14). The tear tape is applied to the packaging portions so that consumers may easily open the assembled packages. Tape (12,13) is applied to packaging (14) from a reel (16a,16b). A reserve reel (16a,16b) also holding tape is provided. When the end of the tape on the reel in use is reached the tape dispensing unit splices together the end of the tape in use with the beginning of the reserve reel, so that tape is fed continuously to the packaging material.
