I bought a roll of this “easy to unwind” Scotch tape, hoping to avoid the continual battles with the regular tape being almost impossible to find the end to get started. This tape, although it has a gentler adhesive, is packaged so that the very thin and tight wrapping is almost impossible to find and get started. There are no indications or directions that this type is shrink wrapped with a very hard to see or feel cellophane wrapper. Took me many minutes of scratching and trying to guess how to get into the actual tape roll. Really nasty, and should have a starter flap that is easy to pull up and unwind the covering. Very, very frustrating. You’d think Scotch by now would have a handle on this, but not this time. The tape seems fine though

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tape is great, just like all 3M packing tapes. Good quality and keeps my boxes and packages sealed tight. Easy to use the first time and the next. I received the 3M - Scotch® Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape for free in exchange for my feedback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for a review. There is only so much one can find to say about shipping tape, as they are very similar. One good thing this Sure Start Scotch product has going for it is that the "lost" end, which usually ends up being firmly secured to the roll, is easier to find and start rolling out. And, it did not shred into multiple little strips! However, if you pull out a long roll of tape, it seems to have a lot of static, and sometimes will curl back and adhere to itself. Overall, I would say this product is an improvement over the irritating end-of-the-tape start/stop issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product free from 3M. The tape is easy to start and get going around boxes. It is thicker than other tape I have used so it should hold up well during shipping. I like that the dispenser can be refilled. I also like that it is made in the USA. I would buy it again the next time I need more tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used other packaging tape dispensers, but this one beats them all. The dispenser is easy to use and the tape flows easily. Most importantly, the tape holds firmly. This product is highly recommended

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sell a lot online so I'm always needing tape for labels or packaging. I always have problems with it sticking to where I don't need it though (mainly itself) so this packing tape is what I needed. Even if I move it weird and make it fall off the cutting part I could get it restarted without pulling tiny strands of it like other times. Glad I got this to review - I always need tape and it has helped.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tape is perfect width to seal boxes. Two of my children leave in different cities so I am always sending something to one of them. Tape is sticky enough to withstand abuse from package delivery personnel. Tape is priced well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality packaging tape, the adhesive works great for many uses on a variety of surfaces. The sure start tab made it easy to begin using it without the usual struggle to find the beginning of the roll.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the scotch packaging sure start tape is GREAT. I use it to wrap packages and all over the house. I use to cover cracks near windows to keep out cold air. I use it when my window air conditioners are installed to make sure no air comes in the the AC's stay in place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really hate it when you grab tape and you can't start it. It's frustrating trying to find the end, but this tape was easy to use and start. I was given this sample for free, for my review.I would definitely purchase this product when I need it.
