The key feature: a metal body (or at least metal cutting element) which gives it a sturdier feel compared with basic plastic-only tape dispensers.

Key Features & Specifications

Here are the main features you should highlight:

• Material: The dispenser uses a metal blade/cutter and likely incorporates partial metal in the body — hence the name “Metal Tape Dispenser”. This gives better durability and crisp cutting of tape.

• Compatible Tape Size: While explicit dimensions are not always listed, the product images show it works with standard small-roll stationery tape (for example ~18 mm width) or the common office clear tape size typically used in desk dispensers.

• Colour Variants: It comes in a variety of soft pastel colours — for example Light Pink, Light Green, Blue, Yellow. SCOOBOO+1

• Price: One retailer lists the MRP at ₹ 90 but selling at ₹ 76.50 in India under the “Tape Dispenser Under ₹299” category. SCOOBOO+1

• Brand: Keyroad — a brand known for stationery accessories, especially Japanese/Asian-style stationery.

• Use Case: Ideal for general office & home use — dispensing adhesive tapes for sealing, wrapping, craft, study desk tasks.

Benefits & Why It’s Good

• Better Cutting Performance: Because of the metal cutter blade, you’ll likely get a cleaner cut and less jagged edge compared to cheaper plastic-only dispensers.

• Durability: The metal component will tend to last longer, resisting wear, bending, or dulling quicker.

• Aesthetic and Colour Choices: The pastel colour options help it blend nicely into modern workspaces or study desks — not just plain black/grey.

• Budget Friendly: The product is very affordable (₹ 70-90 range in India) making it accessible for students, small offices, home use.

• Refillable Setup: Although the description doesn’t explicitly list how tape is loaded, most desk dispensers of this type allow a standard roll to be placed. The brand’s “Mini Tape Dispenser” variant mentions refillable with 18 mm × 33 m tape. pierre.mt

Limitations & Considerations

• Size of Tape Roll: It may not accommodate very wide-industrial rolls (e.g., packaging/boxing tape). It appears more suited to regular desk-tape widths. If you need to handle large packaging tape rolls, you might need a heavy-duty dispenser.

• Weight/Base Stability: Budget desk dispensers sometimes lack heavy base weight, so they may slide on the desk when you pull tape. The listings don’t mention a weighted base — that’s something to check if you prefer one-hand-use.

• Spare Parts / Blade Replacement: When the cutting blade gets dull, some dispensers allow replacement; the listing doesn’t specify if this is possible with this model.

• Tape Not Included: The listing for the product on the retailer site lists only the dispenser, and mentions “tape not included”. Always check if you need to purchase tape separately. SCOOBOO

Ideal For & Use-Case Scenarios

• Good for home desks, student workstations, small offices doing general paperwork, gift-wrapping, craft tasks.

• If you need to manage regular size clear/adhesive tape (e.g., 18-20 mm wide) and you prefer a tidy, pastel aesthetic desk accessory, this suits well.

• Not suited for heavy duty packaging/industrial tape tasks (unless confirmed that it supports wider rolls).

• Also a good pick for stationery-gift sets, back-to-school bundles, or affordable office supply orders.
