[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It wraps and seals well. If that were my only criterion, I'd give it five stars. However, it is virtually impossible to re-thread the tape. I just gave up: I rip off what I need and apply it manually. If only instructions were available (sigh!). That being the case, it's completely useless to me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having worked in the moving industry during college, I have a LOT of experience with packing tape and have taped tens of thousands of boxes. This tape is tough...it's thick and strong, and will stretch without breaking easily. It's also very sticky...not likely to come unglued. And last but not least, the roll is 50 meters long, so you won't be looking for a new roll after every few boxes. It also came with a dispenser, which makes it more convenient to dispense the tape. My only questions are: Will it perform as well in freezing temperatures? Will it dry out and lose its grip on boxes that are stored for years? Too soon to tell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it alot because I ship about 15-20 packages from my home each week. I have tried other less expensive brands and it is just not worth the savings, I have returned them for cash or exchanged for Scotch every time. This is the best ever. It is strong, durable, goes on easy and TEARS easily and neatly when I want it too! It is well worth the extra cost to avoid the frustration from cheaper products. I won't use anything but Scotch, I have learned my lesson! Thanks for such a great product! And this is just one of many that I regularly use!

Tape continually falls back on the roll. Hard to find the edge to unpeel. And hard to get the tape unstuck from roll without it splintering into ribbons. Wastes my time, wastes tape and creates frustration each and every time. Seems like Scotch packaging and engineering staff should have addressed these shortcomings years ago.

[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.] When I use a flea comb on my cat, I first tear off a small piece of scotch packaging tape and hold it above the comb as I comb thru her fur so when the fleas jump they go into the tape. I also use the tape to remove any fur or fleas off the comb. Sometimes if they jump on me I tear off a large amount of tape and keep applying it on my clothes on and off until I catch them on the tape. I know this sounds crazy but it works wonderfully. You just have to be careful not to get it stuck on the cat's fur. Also works good on picking them off of surfaces too. Thank you for your product.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best tape I have ever used for packaging items to mail. I have used it on boxes going by UPS, Fed-X, and Postal. I have never had any damage to anything I have shipped. I also use the tape for storage boxes and it lasts so long and doesn't dry out like some tape. I have even used it to close plastic bags sent to me from catalog companies when I return items. Nothing has ever gotten lost and items have always arrived in excellent condition. Just can't get better packaging tape than SCOTT!
