An apparatus and method for taping closed the open edge of a composite newspaper is provided which includes a tape applicator for applying a portion of tape to one side of a newspaper, and a moving member presenting a surface moving downstream with the newspaper but at a greater speed relative thereto, whereby a remainder portion of the tape not adhered to the one side may be wrapped around the open end by temporarily adhering a portion of the remainder of the tape to the moving surface and transferring the tape thus temporarily adhered from the moving surface to the other side of the newspaper as the moving surface passes thereby in close adjacency. The apparatus includes a tape head group including parallel tape arm assemblies for applying tape to the newspaper, a carrier group including lower carrier belts and upper driven belts for carrying the newspaper therebetween in a downstream direction, and a moving belt presenting an adhesion resistant moving surface thereon for receiving a trailing remainder portion of the several tape in temporary adherence thereto prior to transfer of the remainder of the tape to the newspaper.
