An inline tape cutter system that manufactures taped packages that can be later-opened without the needed for cutting tools to manual cut packing tape. The inline tape cutter system provides a package engagement assembly having a drive assembly, a cutting arm and an engagement arm, wherein physical contact between the engagement arm and a closed package on a conveyor assembly imparts rotational motion to the drive assembly and directs the cutting arm into contact with the closed package. The cutting arm can include a cutting wire form from a resistive heating element that is capable of burning/cutting packaging tape on the closed package. The inline tape cutter system can include a horizontal positioning assembly and a vertical positioning assembly such that the package engagement assembly can engage a wide variety of package sizes and configuration.
