# Spinning Wheel Tape Dispensers This Cute Tape Dispenser is Crafted in Solid Brass By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-11-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cute-tape-dispenser References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/453279188942589043/Brass-Tape-Dispenser) & [store.leibal](http://store.leibal.com/products/tape-dispenser) Cast in solid brass, this cute tape dispenser has a vintage feel to it that largely comes from having the office supply shaped like a spinning wheel. Since the tape dispenser is made from solid metal, it's weighty enough to pull tape from this device using only one hand. Despite the tape dispense having a little weight to it, the office supply's form also lends itself quite well to being transported around as needed, thanks to a space at the bottom for your hand to slide under. The rotor and cutting blade on this tool are also made from solid brass, so that you can be sure that this tape dispenser will be as lasting as it is pleasing to look at. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Vintage-inspired Office Supplies:** There is an opportunity to create and market more office supplies with a vintage aesthetic, like this solid brass spinning wheel tape dispenser. - **One-handed Tape Dispensers:** Developing tape dispensers that are designed for easy one-handed use could provide convenience and efficiency in various industries. - **Portable Desk Accessories:** Creating desk accessories that are portable and easy to transport, such as this tape dispenser with a built-in hand grip, can cater to the needs of mobile professionals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Supplies:** In the office supplies industry, there is potential for innovation by incorporating more solid metal materials and unique designs into products. - **Craft and Hobby:** The craft and hobby industry can benefit from offering vintage-inspired supplies like this brass tape dispenser to cater to the growing demand for unique and aesthetically pleasing tools. - **E-commerce and Retail:** Online retailers and physical stores can explore selling portable desk accessories, such as this tape dispenser, to meet the needs of professionals who work remotely or are frequently on the go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Clamping Stationery Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peleg-design-clamptape.md) - [Solid Brass Workstation Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-desk-toy.md) - [Sleek Rounded Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enso-tape.md) - [Nostalgic Compact Clear Cassettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp81.md) - [Next-Gen Tape Measures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comandi.md) - [Retro Phone-Inspired Label Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-phone-labeling.md) - [Modular Spinning Gamer Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-spin.md) - [Retro Transparent Cassette Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-real.md) - [Retro VHS Tape-Resembling Vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vhs-tape.md)
