AVON, Ohio -- With the wide array of products available to consumers, companies are striving more than ever to create or improve innovative products designed with consumers in mind. Even for gift-wrapping and crafting, invisible tape has matured from the traditional bulky desktop dispensers and cheap plastic dispensers to casings that feature a cool, modern design and combat typical user complaints.

Now gift wrappers and crafters don't have to waste time searching for missing tape ends thanks to the new Duck® brand tape with Wave dispenser, which is specially designed to prevent the tape from falling back on the roll. Also, users don't have to worry about the frustration of jagged-torn edges, as the Wave dispensers have metal blades for easier cutting and tearing.

The Duck brand tape with Wave dispensers are color-coded -- green for invisible tape and red for Crystal Clear (TM) tape -- so the tapes are easily identifiable. The disposable casings also feature a soft-feel plastic and are sturdier than the typical clear plastic dispensers that frequently crack and break, leaving sharp edges.

Each wave dispenser comes with a 650" roll of either invisible or Crystal Clear tape. The invisible tape has a write-on surface, is acid-free and offers a matte finish, while the Crystal Clear tape has a gloss finish. Both are great for wrapping, sealing and repairing.

The Wave dispensers are available nationwide at Wal*Mart for a suggested retail price of $1.77 for the invisible tape, and $0.94 for the Crystal Clear.
