A device is disclosed for taping surfaces, particularly for taping containers, such as cartons and boxes, and other enclosures to be sealed, such as bags, for which seal tape is desired. Also disclosed are a method and system for applying tape, severing tape, and adding these features to existing hand-held, assembly-line, and other automatic taping devices. In particular, the method and system is directed to applying a strip to an adhesive side of a tape at the point that the tape is applied to a container or other item being taped, in a manner that allows easy opening of a container sealed by the tape by pulling the strip. This method and system obviates the need for use of a cutting device to open a taped container, which protects both the surface and the contents of any containers taped and the user. The tape dispenser includes a two-dimensional cutting device to both cut the two-part tape apart and to insert cuts of the adhesive tape at opposite sides of the plastic strip, so as to facilitate opening of the container seal by splitting the tape in half upon pulling the plastic strip.
