Fountain Studio designed the O N Tape Dispenser in response to the lack of one-handed dispensers in the industry. The functional stationery item is also aesthetically pleasing, boasting a sleek design. Fountain Studio took it upon itself to upgrade the age-old tool for the modern user.
The O N has two holes. The first hole keeps the tape bonded and pressed to the rubber pad for continuous usability and stability. The second hole includes a button to cut the tape off when required, making it highly user-friendly. Its design allows the user's second hand to remain free for other project purposes. A tape refill dispenser rolls as the tape is used, displayed through a hole in the device's body.
