[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M sent me the Scotch Sure Start packing tape to review and I have to say I'm impressed! The dispenser is pretty normal, but the tape itself makes packing and shipping stress free. The tape dispenses pretty easily, still nice and sticky, but doesn't rip length wise, so you're not sitting there scratching at clear shreds of tape trying to find the end (I know I've been there) Overall it held up pretty well during the shipping process, which gives it two big thumbs up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product to hang things for parties and I was so surprised at how well it kept the items. At first touch it didn’t seem that sticky but after sticking it and trying to pull off it is a very heft tape. I I received this item for free.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I volunteer to evaluate products for 3M, and recently received a free sample of Scotch packaging tape which I used to tape a label to and seal up a package being mailed from home. I found it difficult to start the roll and was unable to properly put the tape they it’s feeder. On the plus side the cutter was easy to use and cut the tape with no effort, there was also no splitting of the tape as I’ve experienced with other tapes I’ve used in the past and the tape stuck well to my package. I am also finding it easy to restart the tape for a second use. Regardless of the rough start, I would recommend this product as once you get it started all else is a cinch and works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Timing is everything as I received my free Scotch Sure Start tape during the packing up of my in-laws as they were scheduled to move in a few weeks. Since all family members were enlisted to help, I was the only one the new Sure Start Tape and I became the fastest sealer of the boxes. This tape is so easy to use it was incredible. It unwinds off the roll with ease, it doesn’t break or split and cuts easily. Since everyone else was struggling with other tapes I was elected to seal all boxes. Plus it came off the role quietly. I gladly accepted the challenge due to this product. I did not want to use any other tape as this tape really did spoil me. As a big user of packaging tape for many chores around house I stock up on Sure Start Tape.

I’ve been using Scotch tapes most of my life. This “sure start” tape is the first line I could never recommend! It sticks to paper just fine and is very easy to pull off the roll- BUT it does NOT stick to itself! Any slight bump or roll over will pull off all tape that has been taped to another piece of tape. I purchase approximately ten 6 packs per year. This “sure start” is cheaper but is also CHEAP- JUNK. Buy only the red or blue rolls. Heavy Duty is the best!!!

Bought this tape in a 3 roll pack. Sorry now that i did. Not sticky enough, useless as a packaging tape. Worst feature is how easy tape comes off the roll. Picked it up and about 20 feet of tape on the floor as it rolled away.Had to buy different tape to complete the packing job. Stay away. You have been warned.Would have rated zero stars if possible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate to receive this product free from 3M. I am grateful to try what is an easily dispensed transparent tape that rolls out easily, cleanly cuts evenly, doesn’t wad up or fray . I have had trouble in the past with some tapes not dispensing well, splitting and never being able to get a clean even cut again. This tape has consistently cut evenly. I appreciate the tape is made from recycled materials. Great innovation 3M! It is a durable tape. I send books to my home schooled grandkids , this tape gives me confidence that my package will arrive intact.

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.] I am moving & the timing for trying this tape was perfect to receive this free product from 3M to evaluate. I love the dispenser that allows to tear the tape perfectly. I love the sure start roll that tears perfectly with each use. The tape is strong enough to tape boxes closed & keep them closed. I also used it to seal an envelope to mail. The dispenser is quiet unlike other ear piercing dispensers I have used before. It is very easy to use for those of us with arthritis. I am proud to use a USA made product using globally sourced materials & was surprised to find out the dispenser is made from recycled product. All around this is the best packaging tape to use. I was very lucky to be able to sample such an excellent product. I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to review free products from 3M and a roll of packaging tape with dispenser arrived at a fortuitous time - I was moving to a new residence. So many boxes to prepare! And the 3M product was definitely the sturdiest tape I experienced. No one likes to pick at thin tape when it becomes stuck to the rest of the roll and that never happened with the 3M product. Easy rolling every day. eZ to start, EZ to unwind, EZ to stick as it is designed to do. I’m not sure why the tape is advertised as “quiet” as well as easy to unwind, but that had no influence in its intended purpose. Just a great strong product.
