This tape is terrible! Sadly I bought 2 6 packs and we are in the middle of moving. I'm not going to go out and buy more tape so this is what I'm stuck with. First I'm constantly losing the end, when I find it and start to pull up 70% of the time it will split into at least 2 pieces. At one time I had it split 4 different ways. I've had a few times where it splits and I think I've got it back to one piece but then a giant triangular piece pulls off unexpectedly and I'm back to trying to find the end. It also doesnt hold well at all. I couldn't imagine using this to send packages in the mail. They would definitely open. Luckily we are just moving so the boxes will be up right at all times. Hopefully the bottoms stay sealed. All the tops are slowly coming undone though, so that's fun. Heavy duty isnt the right name for this tape. Waste of time and annoying would be words I would use instead

[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 do a lot of shipping of all kinds of items and scotch packaging tape is my go to tape every time. The post office prefers it over any other type of tape because it stays in place and it doesn't gum up their machines. I love that it always goes on neatly and leaves my packages looking professional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would have given it 5 stars, but it was hard to get the roll started. They do the smaller scotch tape with a colored non sticky tab to lift and start...why not this? Aside from that, the dispenser portion is solid and works well, the tape is sticky and stays stuck to boxes and envelopes well, and it doesn't seem like it will tear or come loose when shipping. Once I got it started it was easy to dispense onto the box and it's wide enough to cover a seam with a single strip. I received a free sample of this product to review

[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.] This is very strong and sturdy tape. Easy to use and easy to start without having the tape tear while you are trying to use it. It holds on almost any surface. The amount and length could be a little longer but it's definitely enough. The tear teeth are sharp and make it easy to get any size piece you need.

[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

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.

[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.] 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.
