When using various tapes, we need different tape dispensers for each tape. But the tape dispenser for a big tape, is too big and heavy to carry. For that reason, we can not carry it always. But without tape dispenser, it's hard to use tape. The ‘Tape tie’ is a tape dispenser that is easy to used by tying every size tapes.
