Production Tool
Quiktape Auto Cutting Tape Dispenser
A semi-automatic, manual tape dispenser that pulls and cuts consistent strips fast, so your DTF station stays clean, repeatable, and production-focused. Ideal for staging transfers on garments, masking, and labeling.
- Cut consistent strips in one simple motion
- Dual core compatibility: 1-inch and 3-inch
- Made for speed, clean placement, repeatability

The Smallest Delays Add Up Fast in Production
- Cutting tape with scissors steals rhythm.
- Tearing uneven pieces creates inconsistency.
- In volume production, taping should be one motion, not a mini project.
Why do scissors slow down DTF production?
Because tape prep becomes a repeated interruption. When every garment needs multiple tape strips, small delays and inconsistent strip sizes compound into real downtime and more placement errors.
Lifestyle: messy scissors station vs clean organized station
Quiktape Turns Tape Into a Repeatable Production Step
Made for DTF workflows where speed, clean placement, and repeatability matter. Pull and cut consistent strips fast, so your operator stays focused on placement, not on tools.

Designed to help you produce multiple strips quickly for fast placement and repeatability.
Perfect for Staging DTF Transfers on Garments
- When you stage transfers on a flat table, placement becomes easier to see and correct.
- Quiktape makes it fast to apply consistent tape strips, so the transfer stays put as you move from table to press.
- This supports faster, calmer production when you are running volume.
Pair with EasyTransfer Tape for the Stack Now and Peel Later workflow
Operator applies tape strip to staged DTF transfer on garment
Built to Support Stack Now and Peel Later
The Stack Now and Peel Later method was developed by Alex at AMS Manufacturing and refined over two years. It relies on staging garments off-press, pressing continuously, and peeling later in batches. Quiktape helps by making the taping step fast and consistent, so your prep station keeps pace with your press.
How does a tape dispenser help Stack Now and Peel Later?
It standardizes tape strips and removes scissors and uneven tearing from the workflow. That makes staging faster, more repeatable, and easier to train.

Cut Multiple Strips Fast with the Rotary “Watermill” Motion
- Semi-automatic, manual operation — fast and consistent.
- Designed to dispense and cut multiple 1.5-inch heat transfer tape strips in one simple motion.
- Made for workflows where repeatability matters more than improvising each cut.
Action sequence: pull, rotate, cut — rotary wheel motion
Dual Core Compatibility: 1-Inch and 3-Inch Spools
- Includes 1-inch and 3-inch diameter spools for easy manual switching.
- Accommodates two 3/4-inch standard tapes on a 1-inch core.
- Supports 3/8-inch heat tape for heat press applications on a 3-inch core.
- Effortlessly supports various sublimation heat tapes.

Load 2 to 4 Tapes on One Core for a Faster Station
- Core length: 1.5 inches.
- Designed to accommodate 2 to 4 tapes on a single core for efficiency.
- Keep different tape types ready at hand without swapping between runs.
High-Safety Side Cutter Blade
- Built-in safety switch mechanism designed to prevent accidental access.
- The switch must be manually activated with intentional force before use.
- A safer approach for busy stations where tools are constantly in motion.

Set Up Your Quiktape Station in Minutes
1
Place Quiktape at your prep table, within one-handed reach.
2
Load the tapes you use most (DTF staging tape, heat tape, labeling tape).
3
Standardize a strip routine (example: 2 strips for small logos, 4 strips for larger graphics).
4
Keep placement tools nearby (alignment guide, ruler, marker).
5
Train operators on the routine for station repeatability.
Scissors and Uneven Tears vs Quiktape Repeatability
Before
- Inconsistent tape lengths
- Scissors slowdowns
- Uneven tears
- Messy station
- More operator variation
After
- Consistent strips
- Faster taping motion
- Cleaner placement
- Repeatable station training
- More predictable throughput
Pair Quiktape with EasyTransfer Tape
If EasyTransfer Tape is the material that secures your placement, Quiktape is the tool that makes the step fast and consistent. Together, they create a taping system built for volume DTF workflows.
