World's Leading Manufacturer of Water-Activated Tape Dispensers, Displays Professional Carton Sealing Products at eBay Live!

Shelton, CT (PRWEB) June 12, 2007 -- Better Packages -- the number-one trusted name in water-activated tape dispensers and carton sealers for 90 years -- will display its array of professional carton sealing products in Boston at eBay Live!, June 14 through 16. Attendees at the annual eBay community conference are invited to stop by Better Packages' booth 1228 to see the company's lineup of rugged tape dispensers and environmentally friendly packaging tape designed to help eBay sellers create professional looking cartons and earn positive ratings. Attendees can enjoy free tape samples, carton sealing demonstrations, show specials and a chance to win a professional tape dispenser and case of packaging tape.

Philip White, Better Packages president and CEO, said those attending eBay Live! represent business people who could greatly benefit from Better Packages' products. "Packaging not only plays a critical role in how a product is received," according to Mr. White, "but also in how a brand or business is perceived. If a carton arrives with layers upon layers of messy plastic tape, or worse, if the tape is pealing off and some contents are missing, the seller pays the price with negative ratings." Better Packages' line of professional tape dispensers and packaging tape create a sturdy, professional looking seal, so sellers can feel confident their packages will be received intact.

Products on display in booth 1228 at eBay Live! include:

Better Pack® brand manual tape dispensers, including the Better Pack 333 Plus -- Portable and non-electric, the Better Pack 333 Plus is the most popular water-activated tape dispenser in the world. This dispenser is perfect for light to medium volume packaging.

Better Pack® brand high-productivity electronic tape dispensers, including the Better Pack 555e series and Better Pack 500 -- PowerSellers can improve productivity with these rugged, fast, automatic tape dispensers. All Better Pack electronic models are built to meet or exceed UL, CE and CSA standards for operator and electrical safety, so they are easy to operate and safe.

Packer® 3S pull-and-tear dispensers -- Sellers who have not yet achieved the shipping capacity of a PowerSeller, yet want to seal their cartons professionally with water-activated tape can do so with these simple, tabletop dispensers. They are easy to operate and feature a unique subway feed for uniform tension and consistent moistening. Ask about a chance to win one of four special anniversary edition Packer 3S models on display.

About BetterSeal Secure Tape
BetterSeal Secure water-activated tape from Better Packages offers security and strength benefits that other sealing methods do not. BetterSeal Secure tape is paper tape that uses a natural plant-based adhesive activated by water. Sometimes the tape is reinforced with fiberglass strands. Most significantly, when the moistened tape is applied, the adhesive is absorbed into the carton and forms a permanent bond. The secure seal cannot be removed without tearing the carton surface and leaving visible evidence of tampering.

Small and large businesses, manufacturers, food and drug companies, fulfillment centers, printers and publishers, internet retailers, government agencies and many others recognize the benefits of using BetterSeal Secure Tape as a simple, easily recyclable, cost-effective means to help protect the contents of their packages from tampering, thievery and breakage. According to Michael Gill, president and general manager of one Snappy Auctions location, which is a leading franchisor of eBay consignment services, "We take great care in providing the highest quality handling, shipping and packaging, which is why we use (Better Pack dispensers and BetterSeal Secure) tamper-evident, reinforced water-activated tape. We know that plastic tape does not bond to the carton and can easily be removed undetected."

Today, water-activated tape is considered by many industry experts to be the most secure way to seal corrugated cartons.
