[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend this product to everyone who is moving , to use this packaging tape. I taped a lot of boxes an move them to another city. The packaging tape was still intact and items in boxes survived the move.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scotch heavy duty shipping tape free to review. This tape is very heavy sticks welll. Keeps the box close tightly. The handy application tool works great the reel of tape rolls easily and the cutting works great. I will recommend this to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used the Scotch brands for packing and crafts. This past Halloween, being in a time crunch, decided to use a much cheaper clear packing tape. Not surprisingly, it was nearly impossible to start the roll, and the dispenser itself was dull. We ended up using scissors to cut. Most importantly, it just would not stick! We used double the amount of tape just hoping it would work. Oh well, now we know! Scotch Rocks! Thanks for an AWESOME product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for a review. I received the packing tape with the dispenser and i must say this tape is very strong . The dispenser makes it convenient to cut and keeps the tape from getting twisted. Also, it makes it very easy to find the end of the roll.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wrapping Christmas gifts is so much easier if you incorporate Scotch packing tape as part of your supplies. I use it exclusively for hard to adhere velvet bows and sticking embellishments to packages like buttons, holly, candy canes, etc. Simply use it like double sided tape and wow! does it work. I also use it to decorate my mailbox, front door, and other hard-to-reach areas. It definitely gets a 5-star rating!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i received the product free from 3m. It is nice and wide! i like the clear tape you can see through so it won't obscure the label or any printing on the package. its very strong and works well! i would use this again in the future for sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Scotch brand packaging tape dispenser and tape for years and I love it. It is easy to use, you can do it one handed, and once they are taped they don't come open until you cut them open. I have used the tape to repair things like a broken center pole on my Christmas tree, that was several years ago and it is still holding. I also ship on Ebay and use this tape to close the boxes and tape on the labels. I tape over the address section of the labels so they do not smear if they get wet plus it closes those boxes tightly and they do not come open during mailing. In a pinch, I have also cut small strips and used it to tape wrapping paper on Christmas presents. I can use the dispenser one handed leaving my other hand free to hold the package or item being taped in place. I would recommend this tape and dispenser to anyone requiring the use of a packaging tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the clear packing tape. It is heavy duty and great for shipping. I have also used this for other projects around the house. This tape goes a long way. It lasts through many projects and will be something you can use for a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product to evaluate for free from 3M. I actually have an older model that I use all the time and both models seem to be the same style so I can attest to its durability but there are things that can make it better. The cardboard piece that covers the blade can not easily be removed (see picture), sure the flap piece comes off but the part behind the blade does not slide out once the flap is off. This can interfere with getting a clean cut of the tape, I'll probably have to use scissors to carefully cut it out but it could be easily fixed by having the holes align with the part that is ripped off so that it slides out on its own without risk of injury. Additionally when the roll was still full, it would sometimes get stuck and not rotate easily, I couldn't actually find the sticking point and it doesn't happen on my older one when I put in a new roll or now that I have used several layers on the new one. The tape itself also doesn't unroll smoothly but instead sort of jerks out in segments. Finally the inner latch that you use to replace rolls could be designed better, it doesn't always stay closed. In fact on the older model, I just use a piece of tape to keep it closed but again the design could be improved to keep them shut. As to where I use this product, I send baked goods to deployed soldiers every week so use these packaging dispensers to seal the boxes and apply the mailing labels to the box. These boxes are tossed around a lot during their journey overseas so need to be taped securely. I have been sending these boxes for almost 5 years and have sent almost 350 boxes so the dispensers and tape do work but could be improved with my suggestions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it on a medium sized box with about a 5lb load. I like the convenient dispenser, glides on easily. The tape is wide enough and holds well. The box was sent from Maryland to Florida via USPS and was received in good condition. Happy with the quality.
