Abstract: The present disclosure provides improved tape dispensers that include a tape roll housing featuring a sidewall and a surrounding, protective wall. At least a portion of the exterior surface of the surrounding wall includes at least one texture. The tape roll housing is coupled to a cutting edge support spaced from the roll housing. The dispensers can include a base defined by portions of the surrounding wall and the cutting edge support. In certain implementations, the based can include a concave portion.

Abstract: To assist in the reuse and repurposing of packaging and others materials, the present disclosure provides an integrated label remover that allows for quick and easy removal of media (e.g., labels, UPC codes) from a box or other packaging material (e.g., a protective envelope). The label remover utilizes a micro blade to score or cut around the label and a larger lifting blade that allows a user to easily detach the edge of the media for removal. The micro blade can cut to a micro layer thickness while preserving the integrity of the box. This micro layer cut provides access to the area between the media and the material, so that the lifting blade can be inserted to disrupt any adhesive or other means of affixation.
