I bought Scotch rather than a lesser quality tape. How disappointed I was to find that the cardboard around which the tape is wrapped was all bent. And this of course made dispensing it through the roller nearly impossible. Bad quality control in the manufacturing assembly line obviously. Come on people, take it up a notch and fix your automation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shipping tape has been a staple in my house for years. The tape is strong enough to handle heavy boxes and never comes undone, it’s not cloudy so I can protect shipping labels and still be able to see them through the tape, and the dispenser itself allows the tape to glide right onto the box and keeps it from sticking to itself, which is always a pain in the neck to try and fix. All in all a great product that I will continue to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch is one of the best tape manufactures I've ever used. The Sure Start Shipping Packaging Tape is no different. It doesn't get caught and it's easy and effortless to seal. I also didn't have any problem finding them end like I typically do with packaging tape.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M sent a sample of this product to me to try. This tape works very well! It comes off the roll smoothly without folding over on itself or wrinkling. The plastic tabs below the blade prevent the end of the tape from sticking back to the roll - no searching for the end of the tape! The blade cuts evenly and easily so the end of the tape stays even. Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sure start tape if great! It sticks just like the other kinds of shipping tape, but you know that loud ripping sound when you’re trying to tape up a box quietly in an office setting, only for it to be obnoxiously loud anyway? Well- not with this! It really is much quieter. A+++ 3M :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of this product to review. It does just what it's supposed to- stocks really well and it is so easy to use! I will switch to this brand from here on. Huge difference between this and the cheap brand I used before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used it to pack several packages to be shipped out and it was so much easier to use. Very durable tape. Smooth glide when going from one end of package to the other. I feel my packages are more secure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the good stuff. If you need tape that is easy to work with and don’t have time to be picking the tape edge from the roll every time you turn around, get this. 3M provided me a sample of this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tape is very easy to use. Easy to tear off in a straight line and it sticks very well to boxes. It didnt get tangled up and stick to the piece like other tapes I have used. It was easy to find the start and get the tape going.

"Sure Start" is not as thick as the older 3M packaging tape. I used it on all sides of a 20 pound box of books in the usual way (no problems with taping like this in the past). The recipient just wrote to say the box arrived burst open with some other junk in it (not the books), with the statement, "next time use a LOT more tape." So don't rely on this !
