Unique Features of the 10th Anniversary Model

1. Eye-Catching Transparent Design

The transparent body showcases a mix of lively colors, creating a striking mechanical appearance that draws inspiration from nostalgic gaming technology and toys from the 90s. This model presents a unisex and timeless aesthetic suitable for everyone, regardless of age or gender. The front of the product is adorned with a special print that celebrates its 10-year milestone.

2. Protective Shutter Cap

The innovative shutter cap opens and closes in tandem with the applicator head, offering excellent dust protection, making it ideal for storage in pencil cases or boxes. Users can operate the cap with one hand, thanks to a simple side knob, which enhances its usability and efficiency.

3. Improved Adhesive Accuracy

The enhanced colored roller shaft allows for better visibility, making it easier to target specific areas that require adhesive application. This ensures precision when completing tasks.

4. Ample Tape Capacity

Designed with comfort in mind, the curved shape fits comfortably in the hand, allowing for extended use without fatigue. The generous 10-meter tape capacity makes it perfect for everyday use on desks or in classrooms.

5. Advanced Power Gear Technology

The internal gear system is designed to prevent tape slack or tangling, automatically providing twice the force to keep the tape taut when the rotation ceases.

6. Inclusive Packaging Design

The package includes the body and a limited-edition colored refill. It is suited for activities such as scrapbooking or decor for journals. Manual replacements for various adhesive types are compatible, although the exclusive refill is not available separately.
