Moving Sucks, But This Can Save You Some Much Needed Money

Moving is cost-intensive, even if you totally DIY. I used to be the sucker that bought my packaging tape at an office big box store or Target (office big box store with dollar bin section!) Then I remembered that Amazon sells way more than just books and found this deal. I also used to save money by just buying the giant rolls of tape and hand cutting the pieces with scissors. But at this price I sprung for the dispensers and I'm glad I did! I forgot how many picture frames I needed to wrap in moving paper and how many didn't fit with just one sheet of moving paper. The built in tear off made things sooo much easier! Moving will likely still suck, but these make it a little bit easier.

Excellent packing tape is a must for any home

Good quality packing tape. Not sure what else needs to be said. This tape is much better than some off-brands that shred too easily. It really is frustration-free. I will offer one tip, which I'm sure many already know: Between uses, fold the front edge of the tape by just a centimeter or so and lay it back on the roll. This makes it so much easier to use the tape the next time you need it. Now, no one said you have to use it just for packing. I find all kinds of uses for this, and it's so handy to have a few around the house. It's great if you're mailing packages, but I use it for disposable projects, small temporary repairs, and I even use it to remove old sticker residue on video game cases (which is so much cleaner and less smelly than using a solvent).

Solid, easy to use!

I just moved 26 years worth of household belongings from one town to another last month. Packing was a several-month process as I showed my house, eventually sold it, and bought another. I bought packing supplies in a series over time, varying the brands and types of boxes -- but sticking with Scotch Heavy Duty packaging tape for securing all packed boxes, including those with self containing handles that didn't necessarily need seam taping. I must have packed 350-400 boxes over the course of 9 months. Over half of those boxes were stored in a non-climate controlled garage, where humidity and temperature varied as the seasons passed. All Scotch Heavy Duty taped boxes held securely together! Advice: Buy much more than you think you'll need. It's FAR BETTER to have extra tape for future uses than to run out as you're bubble wrapping Grandma's fragile vases or other fine china and attempting to box and tape with extra TLC precautions!

Great

My husband and I own our own business, and we ship out a lot of packages each week. Shipping/packaging tape is obviously a must for us, but not something I always remember to buy on my weekly shopping trips. Amazon to the rescue! I have these on my subscribe & save so I never have to worry about running out of tape. This particular item comes in a nice little box with six rolls of tape in it. Each roll has its own dispenser, which I don't find to be necessary, but I guess it's nice to just grab a new roll out of the box and not have to worry about putting it into a dispenser. Each roll is 1..88 inches x 800 inches. Note that these are the smaller rolls, not the wider ones. They are perfect though for sealing up the edges of boxes. This tape is very strong and I have yet to have a problem getting it to stick and hold my boxes shut. The packaging says that it's "heavy duty" and I would have to agree! I highly recommend this shipping/packaging tape for any of your mailing needs!

High quality. Thick enough to be sturdy & unaggravating to work with.

High quality. Thick enough to be sturdy & unaggravating to work with. We used to buy that bulk discounted stuff at the local office chain. While admittedly we got a lot (bulk product) for our money, it was difficult to work with. If it broke or didn't cut cleanly you'd have to very carefully inspect the roll to find the edge (or shard edges!!) to pick at and eventually, hopefully restart with a full width piece of tape. No more. We don't have time for that. Plus, one strip of this stuff is thick enough that it equals 2 strips of the cheap crap. You get what you pay for. We don't do enough shipping to notice the extra cost, so this Scotch Heavy Duty shipping tape is the solution for us.

Delivers the 3M Quality One Expects Worth the Added Price!

Great general purpose tape, for packing and various uses. Unlike some of the cheaper alternatives, I've never had one of these rolls go bad (from being too thin, sticking to itself, and becoming frustratingly difficult to "rethread"). You pay a bit of a premium over some alternative brands, but it's worth added pennies invested. Only 4 Stars for "Easy to Use" due to encountering a bit of difficulty getting the tape end started, as the "leader" seems to be thinner (at its very end, beyond the thicker "pad" of tape, obviously intended to make starting easier) than the rest of the tape and sometimes requires patience and fingernails in peeling off a few little strips of the leader before it lets go and allows the user to start using it. That said, the plastic holder is well thought out and of excellent quality, even though I do generally toss them (but technically they could be refilled for those who want to save a bit of money and go through that process). I bet that 3M, being 3M--one of the planet's greatest companies--can come up with an improved system concerning the minor glitch of making these just a bit easier to start each roll.

BEST SHIPPING TAPE EVER! PERIOD!

This is by far the best tape I have ever used in my lifetime. I recently have shipped several items. And after going through a few tapes from cheap 99 cent ones to a scotch sure start shipping. And to finally this. I can finally say. My shipping has gone through the roof in confidence! With each tape that I’ve gone up. There is no doubt that it does not get better than this! If you see in my pictures I think that is how they rate from top to bottom. From best to worse. BUT all tapes have there uses. Some tapes last longer in climate and weather and long storage like the storage tape you. see in my pictures. Others for basic shipping the sure start scotch tape is good. But if you want all your packages to be well taped up and well protected you cannot go wrong with this. Honestly I would choose this one even over the sure start one from scotch. Because I noticed that this one actually GRIPS like really sticks hard to any boxes. It’s insane! I actually was able to remove the other sure start tape easily. With a bit of effort. But this one. This one takes more force. And so that is why it’s SUPER heavy duty. I’ve been shipping all my items with the sure start tape. And as you can see I almost ran out of it. And so I decided to purchase this. Because why not!? Well. Now from here on I will be purchasing only this type of tape! It exceeds and meets and even overqualifies my expectations. And that is saying ALOT since I tried several tapes. It’s my favorite tape! :D and not only that. You get 6 of them for the price of 10-12$! That’s an amazing deal! Great quality! And yes the tapes are much smaller. But I love it that way! Much more portable and easier to tape up items. I actually think it’s the same amount of tape as the bigger ones! Just on a smaller roll. As the bigger ones go over a longer length. I think it will last me quite awhile however. And if I run out. I’ll buy more. Thank you to scotch for making this amazing product. And I’m sure everyone out there who ships and boxes up items. They too can agree that this tape is incredible.

Very good tape.

I mean, I feel like most people are familiar with scotch tape, but yeah, this is definitely my preferred tape over any other brand. It pulls off the reel well without doing that thing where half the tape stays on and you have to try and get it back to where both halves are together again. Nope, it's too strong for that. The disposable dispensers each reel comes with are really good quality, I like how they have the little nubs that hold the tape up between cuts so you don't have to peel it up again with your fingernail. Finally, it's definitely really sticky without a tendency to leave residue. Just good stuff.

A winner , read review for important info

Unlike other people let me start by saying that I bought this item at full price and received no compensation for writing this review.i do a lot of packaging and this tape is tough, I have gone thru several rolls and it did not tear on me and get stuck on the roll like other brands, when taping boxes it is tough and sticks well, each roll is ready to go on its own dispenser, a winner product ... I'm in a competition with my friend so If you find my honest non compensated review helpful please rate my review as helpful,

Great packaging tape

This is your standard packing tape. This set was nice and cheap and the same high quality you can expect from scotch packing tape. The tape cutter that is built onto these rolls actually works very well. Dimensions of the tape roll can be seen in the photos I have uploaded. Included are six (6) rolls of tape with a plastic tape cutter shell. Pros: *Cheap *Secures packages well *The tape cutter works well Cons: *None Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
