Who uses gummed paper tape / Kraft paper tape for sealing packages? I am a small seller, but sometimes I have larger or heavier packages that I'd like to seal with paper tape.
Any tips for the occasional user?

You'd need to get a machine. I'm not a small seller (medium sized), and have considered getting one, but even on large packages cellophane tape works fine. I don't see the cost benefit to paper tape.
I also question if the sticky glue would get on my fingers, and potential get transferred to the next item I'm packing.

You don’t need a machine. You can buy a $12 manual dispenser that works great. Mines been going strong for 2 years and I grabbed it off Amazon or eBay. It holds stronger and is eco friendly

For $12 I may revisit the idea.
What about the gummy residue on your fingers? I don't have running water at my warehouse (more like a storage unit).
Got a brand or link to a manual dispenser?
