[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since you have come out with the "easier" to handle packaging tape dispenser- no longer am I messing the tape all up with my attempt to put it on a package. For years and years I always hated having to get the "tape gun" as we all called it because even when it ran out we all dreaded having to remember the flow of how the tape was threaded to come out on the other end correctly. Maybe I am in the minority with the previous hassle of packaging tape but I don't think so. This has been like a miracle in our office.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the holder. Much easier to use rather than using a tape gun. Works great for taping up broken down boxes and hanging things. Easy to hold and strong. Decent amount of tape included in the spool - 55 yards

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was thrilled to have Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging Tape available to seal my return! I needed to return a box filled with multiple heavy items. This tape was amazing for getting a very neat and tight seal when closing. The dispenser made stretching the tape across the box a breeze. The serrated cutting edge was efficient when I needed to clip the end of the tape. I would highly recommend this when you want a high performance seal with ease of use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've moved around and packed so much throughout my life, I've always used Scotch packaging tape. I insist you have the dispenser as it makes the taping of boxes easier and more efficient. I've never had a problem with the tape tearing. As in the name it is heavy duty and strong. If you go with an off-brand the tape will keep breaking and you never get a clean tear leading to wasted time and frustration. I learned the hard way at first. Now I know to stick to Scotch products. I did receive this product free from 3M, however it's all I prefer and recommend using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although Scotch Premium Performance packaging tape is excellent for sealing packages to be mailed, I have found other wonderful uses. I sew. She who sews must occasionally rip. Scotch Packaging tape is the pickier-upper for all the little loose threads on my fabric. I also use it to pick up cat hair on my furniture before company comes, to de-lint my husband's jacket when he leaves for work and to pick up what I can't see on the mat in front of my kitchen sink. I'm so fond of its many uses that I buy several rolls at a time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SCOTCH PACKAGING TAPE IS DEFINITELY THE CHOICE TO MAKE WHEN SENDING OUT PACKAGES FOR THE HOLIDAYS; YOU CAN BET ALL OF THE THINGS YOU MAIL WILL BE SAFE AND SECURE. THIS TAPE IS ALSO GREAT FOR GETTING YOUR HOUSE READY FOR WINTER! IT'S GREAT TO SECURE PLASTIC ON WINDOWS; AND ITS GREAT TO GO AROUND DOORS THAT AREN'T USED IN THE WINTER TO KEEP OUT THE COLD AIR THAT CREEPS IN. I ALSO USE THIS TAPE WHEN STORING COMFORTERS IN THE SUMMER MONTHS; I NEATLY ROLL THE COMFORTERS AND THEN GO AROUND THEM ONCE WITH THE TAPE; I THEN STORE THEM NEATLY IN THE CLOSET. THE TAPE KEEPS THEM NEAT AND IN ORDER; IT MAKES STORING THEM A BREEZE! THIS TAPE IS THE JACK OF ALL TRADES AT MY HOUSE AND I LOVE IT! THANKS, BELINDA.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape and used this product to seal a package to mail. I had difficulty getting the tape started. There is a "tab" that appears to be the starting point, but in fact the tape ran over and past this point, so I struggled to find the beginning of the roll. Also, there is a piece of cardboard that says "remove here" that protects the cutting blade edge which is a great safety feature. However once I removed the cardboard where indicated, the cutting edge was still covered up with part of the attached cardboard, thus making cutting the tape difficult. I tried to remove the residual cardboard tab, but it is well secured, so I was not successful. I don't know if that little tab that remains is supposed to be left on for protection of the blade, or removed, but if left on, the cutting edge is blocked, and if it is to be removed, I cannot figure out how to do so without cutting myself on the cutting edge! However the tape itself is wonderful! It dispensed very easily and smoothly. I cannot tear it, which assures secure sealing. It has it's own dispenser, which would be very handy except for the above issues. It is clear tape, so you can see where you are putting it which is obviously important when sealing a seam or package edges. I love the tape and would recommend it for anyone's packaging needs.

The tape peels off all packages. You have to use so much along with other tape to secure packages. The blade cutter doesn't actually cut the tape at all.

Bought in conjunction with a Scotch 3M tape dispenser (red metal and plastic gun type dispenser with foam covered handle). The combination was useless. Tape didn't adhere very well, then tape could not be cut by the blade. The tape would not cut even when I tried to stretch against the fully deployed blade. Thus, poor tape adherence and then failure to cut resulted in a lot of tape everywhere except where needed. Disappointing.

I purchased this tape to ship Christmas packages after years of satisfactory use of Scotch products. Don't know what Has changed but this is pure crap. It doesn't stick to anything, even it's own dry side. That failure is a sure sign of America's decline.
