Masking Film & Paper Dispensers.

Masking film and paper dispensers put the tape on the edge of the paper or film as you pull it, and lay both on the surface in one pass. On a big mask up that replaces the separate taping pass, which is where the hours go.

This range covers the iQuip 355mm dispenser and the 3M Hand-Masker M3000 kit, plus the rolls that load them: iQuip Envo Tape, ProMask kraft masking paper and iQuip pre-folded plastic masking film. The bundle at the top gets you set up in one order.

FAQs

Common questions answered.

The questions we hear most often about this range. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • Which masking dispenser should I buy?

    The iQuip 355mm dispenser takes standard painters tape and plain kraft paper or film up to 355mm wide, so you choose the tape to suit the surface. The 3M Hand-Masker M3000 kit comes with the dispenser, a 12 inch film blade, a roll of 2090 tape and a roll of AMF72 film, and runs 3M Hand-Masker films and ScotchBlue tapes.

  • Kraft paper or plastic film?

    Kraft paper takes a coat without the overspray beading and running, and it tears and folds around a profile, so it suits skirting, architraves, sills and benchtops. Pre-folded film opens out to full width for floors, carpet, furniture and windows, and it is embossed for grip so it does not slide around underfoot.

  • Which tape width goes in the dispenser?

    The 36mm Envo Tape covers most cut-in edges and is the width in the bundle. The 48mm is for wider edges and for holding masking film. The iQuip dispenser takes standard painters tape, so you can run whichever width suits the job.

  • How long can Envo Tape stay on?

    Envo Tape is rated to 30 plus days of UV exposure and comes off clean with no residue once the coating is dry. Removal is cleanest once the paint has dried and inside that 30 day window.

  • What comes in the dispenser bundle?

    One iQuip 355mm Masking Film and Paper Dispenser, six rolls of 36mm iQuip Envo Tape, a three pack of 300mm ProMask kraft masking paper, three rolls of 2700mm and three rolls of 1810mm iQuip pre-folded plastic masking film.

Masking Film and Paper Dispensers

Masking a whole room by hand means taping the paper, then taping it down. A dispenser does both at once: the tape goes on the edge of the paper or film as you pull, and both land on the surface together. That is the pass where the hours go on a big mask up, and it is why the dispenser and kraft paper sell together more often than not.

One pass masking. Load a roll of kraft paper or film and a roll of tape. The dispenser marries the two as you pull, so what was a two person or two pass job becomes one movement along the wall.

Paper for trims, film for floors. 300mm ProMask kraft paper suits benchtops, sills and wider runs, with 150mm for skirting, architraves and reveals. iQuip pre-folded film comes in 1810, 2400 and 2700mm widths on 27m rolls and opens out from a manageable roll to cover floors, furniture and windows.

Refills you can reorder. Every roll that goes into these dispensers is sold on its own here, so once you are set up you only reorder the paper, film and tape you have used.
