Loading tape with tab for webbing laminator

[dypinc]

Every time I load the laminator like this I always wonder if any one makes a tape with a tab on for easy removal. Something that might come with a dispenser. Easy enough to make them when loading but it does take-up some time. I have done searches but not quite sure what you would call it and never seem to be able to find anything.

Any suggestions?

Honestly, how much time is required to fold a piece of tape? 1 second? Sorry I just see this as a non-issue. And I've never seen anyone load laminate this way.

Roll to roll over-laminating this morning, 1 man no help. 54" wide x 30', bottom roll of vinyl loading the same way about 3" of waste. How would you load it?

I agree that taking 1-2 seconds to make my own tabs wouldn't make another product worth buying. I've started doing the tabs when I'm taping down vinyl for install because it leaves less adhesive upon removal, making for a cleaner install. I'm not interested in having to keep up with yet another tool and consumables that won't save me that much time. I think of the packing tape guns and all the problems I have with those.
